Step into the storied elegance of 41 Dearborn Street, once known as the James Dugan House. Built c.1870 by a leather manufacturer, this North Salem gem is a distinguished Italianate with Renaissance flair. You’ll admire the dramatic façade, slim hooded windows, and timeless craftsmanship that make it a landmark. Inside, 5,000+ sq. ft. offers six bedrooms, three full baths plus a handy cellar half-bath, and a second kitchen upstairs for flexible living. Operable Velux skylights brighten the attic, while two balconies let you bask in the afternoon sun. Whether you treasure its historic character or imagine modern touches, the scale and versatility—including in-law potential—fit your lifestyle. Set on a picturesque corner lot with a two-car garage and close to parks, shops, and the commuter rail, this is a rare chance to own a piece of Salem’s history and make it your own.
