About This Home

As of April 2022

Other listings can claim to have an ideal location, but it's hard to argue that many locations throughout the City of Salem are better than being directly on The Salem Common. Walk into your unit through a private entrance and be welcomed by a huge living space with soaring ceilings and tons of windows. Featuring a master suite, additional half bath, open kitchen, and "great room" on the main floor seems like it could be enough for one condo. Yet, down the stairs is an additional 2 bedrooms, second living room / office, full bath and laundry. Did I mention what a great location this truly is? Literally on The Salem Common and minutes from the ocean, MBTA, shopping, PEM, dining, etc. Don't believe it...then come see this spacious unit, with great storage throughout for yourself and you can judge the location while you here.
