Its symmetrical façade, gambrel roof, and distinctive Beverly jog introduce interiors rich in original detail. The first floor offers a living room, a study with late-18th-century casework, full bath, and an expansive sun-filled kitchen/dining/gathering space with fireplace, generous counter space, gas cooktop, and dual 36" wall ovens—an uncommon luxury for a home of this vintage. The kitchen opens to side and rear gardens plus off-street parking. Upstairs are 3 bedrooms, a full bath, office, and large walk-in closet. The top floor adds a bedroom, half bath, and flexible space which could be used for a second office or extra guest space. Clever configuration allows potential owner-occupied Airbnb use. Recent updates include a 2021 Viessmann 3-zone high-efficiency boiler & hot water heater. Set on historic Federal Street in Salem’s McIntire District
