About This Home
As of February 2026This 2019 renovated property, The Northfield Townhouses, was the recipient of the Salem Historic Preservation Award. Located on tree-lined Buffum St just north of the vibrant downtown, yet walking distance to the train, schools, parks, etc. The Maker's Guild and Derby Square Architects teamed up in an effort to preserve and enhance the historic features of the 1832 Edward Melcher house. The refinished original king pine floors, preserved original trim, and 2 over 2 windows along the front façade give way to modern kitchens and baths and bolstered by a generous cedar fenced side-yard and patio. The 2 bedroom, 2.5 bathroom on three levels also boasts a bonus room off the primary suite that could provide for a study, nursery, or oversized closet. 1 Off-street parking space and landscaping/snow removal included. Wall mounted TVs and Outdoor grill to remain for tenant's use! Furniture negotiable!
