    What's special

    Beautifully maintained, stylish 1860’s 3 Bedroom + office Mansard home on charming Buffum Street in Salem. Built for the Buffum family, this home is deceptively large with its classic original layout plus a bright, sunny modern kitchen & great room addition overlooking a lovely mature private garden.

The first floor offers a beautiful entrance hall with original staircase, large office/BR, which could serve as a sitting room, dining room with a wall of windows overlooking the garden, a sunny great room/kitchen, a library/office, and a glam full bath with a soaking tub with jets...and a heated floor! Upstairs are 2 bedrooms and a sleek (2019) bathroom. Lots of extra storage space in the easy access basement.
