This unexpected gem is hidden behind a historic Italianate facade on beautiful tree-lined Federal street in the McIntire District of downtown Salem. Pass through the classic Victorian-style front hall with antique doors and original woodwork by a stunning curved staircase and step through the door into another world. High ceilings, huge sun-drenched windows, and skylight open to the first and lower levels make this space feel open and airy. The main level features an updated kitchen and dining area, laundry, and master suite with full bathroom. This space is open to a lower-level living room with two-story vaulted ceiling and windows, working fireplace and views of/access to an exclusive and private exquisite sunken garden/patio area. The lower level also includes a huge second bedroom with full bathroom. This unusual opportunity also includes deeded off-street parking. Right in the center of everything but with the feeling of being much removed, must be seen to know!
