About This Home
As of October 2025Life feels richer when it comes with stunning ocean views.This 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath home in Salem’s Forest River neighborhood offers a blend of historic charm and coastal living that never goes out of style.Imagine waking up in your master suite and stepping out onto a private deck where the ocean stretches before you—an ever-changing view of sunrise colors, sailboats and sparkling water.Two additional bedrooms share the same breathtaking vistas, letting the rhythm of the tides become part of everyday living.Inside, sunlit rooms with high ceilings, tall windows, and hardwood floors tell the story of another era, while a gas fireplace and classic kitchen make the home welcoming.A fenced yard invites romantic dinners or fun-filled family BBQs.Tucked away on a quiet street, yet moments from the energy of downtown Salem and Salem State University. Enjoy ocean living knowing that FEMA does NOT require flood insurance due to the building elevation. On street parking is simple and convenient.
