Salem

A walking trail 50 feet from the front door connects this 3-bedroom, 2-bath home in Salem’s historic Bridge Street Neck neighborhood to the commuter rail, Salem Willows, and downtown. Mornings start in a kitchen with concrete countertops, stainless steel appliances, and open shelving that keeps everyday dishes and coffee mugs within reach. Warm pine floors run through the main level, and in the evening the windows frame the sunsets. The third bedroom is a flexible room with a decorative brick fireplace (not for use) and works well as a home office, guest room, or den, giving you a dedicated space for working from home. Upstairs, the second-floor primary suite is set up for easy daily routines, with vaulted ceilings, a large walk-in closet, laundry right in the suite, and a private bath with a clawfoot tub and white subway tile. On the first floor, a full bath with a slate-tiled walk-in shower serves the rest of the home. Outside, a private yard and partially covered deck give you room to grill, eat outdoors, and unwind on warm weekends, with shelter overhead when the weather turns. Driveway parking for two cars is included. Getting around is simple. Take the trail on foot to the train for the ride into Boston, out to Salem Willows for a waterfront walk, or into downtown Salem for shops and restaurants. Salem State University is also nearby. Lease terms: 12-month lease. First month’s rent, last month’s rent, and security deposit required. Credit and background check required. One housebroken dog considered; no cats. Available December 1.
