About this House

What's unique:Timeless architectural characterFront and rear staircasesLarge attic spaceGenerous room sizesFive spacious bedroomsMud rooms
Step into a rare piece of American history with this circa-1769 Colonial located in the heart of Salem’s Historic District. Offering approximately 3,104 square feet, this spacious 7-bedroom, 3.5-bath historic home sits on a 6,820 sq ft lot and is filled with timeless architectural character, generous room sizes, and endless potential.

Originally built in 1769 and relocated to its current location in 1888, this property blends historic charm with major foundational improvements already completed. In late 2023, the roof was replaced, the entire exterior was professionally painted, and the electrical system was updated and approved by the city. Plumbing upgrades are substantially underway, and mold mitigation has already been performed in the basement.

The home features:
• A stunning 31-foot entry foyer with 9-foot ceilings
• Original crown molding and wood trim work
• Pocket doors and oversized connecting rooms
• Original plank flooring
• Front and rear staircases
• Large attic space with additional potential
• Screened porch, mud rooms, and covered carport
• Brick basement with dual staircase access

The first floor offers expansive living and family rooms with original character throughout. The gutted kitchen provides a blank canvas ready for customization and modern vision. The second floor includes five spacious bedrooms and multiple baths, while the third floor features two additional bedrooms, a walk-through den area, and another full bathroom, including a princess suite-style layout.

Outside, the rear yard connects to alley access from Carpenter Street. The property is conveniently located beside the Police Department and near the post office, banks, schools, shopping, restaurants, Route 49, Route 45, and Route 295 — allowing easy access to Delaware, Philadelphia, and the Jersey Shore.
