Home Details
Solid and well maintained 1880 antique Cape on the Salem/Peabody line with easy access to major routes. This 4-bedroom, 1.5-bath home combines historic character with thoughtful updates. Beautiful original pine floors add warmth and charm throughout. The bright eat-in kitchen features stainless appliances, a walk-in pantry, and ample cabinet & counter space. The recently renovated finished basement is mostly above ground, with full-size windows, providing natural light and bonus living space. Additional updates include a brand-new 2025 roof, vinyl siding, modern vinyl windows and updated baths. Natural gas heat, hot water and stove provide efficiency. Relax in the attached screen house/sunroom overlooking the beautifully landscaped, fully fenced backyard. Perennial gardens, a vintage shed, and a fieldstone wall lend classic New England charm to this inviting outdoor space. Private showings anytime by appointment.
