Cherished, impeccably maintained & improved by the current owners over 47 years, this 1948 colonial feels just right nestled among its 17th, 18th and 19th century neighbors. The EH opens to a spacious LR w/3 exposures, offering direct light all day. The LR leads to the sunroom w/high ceilings, custom windows & cozy radiant heat. Views of rolling lawn of the 1660 Pickering House and in the other direction, views through the LR to the entertainment-sized DR where French doors lead to the lovely private garden. Thoughtfully designed kitchen w/timeless appeal; great storage & counter space, top of the line appliances. Upstairs, 2 recently renovated baths, a spacious main BR, 2 more BRs, and an office. The 3rd floor has another BR/office. Of note: On-demand hot water, central air, high speed EV charger, new custom skylights on the 3rd floor. Downtown Salem with its restaurants and shops is less than 5 minutes away!
