Beautifully maintained, stylish 1860’s 3 Bedroom + office Mansard home on charming Buffum Street in Salem. Built for the Buffum family, this home is deceptively large with its classic original layout plus a bright, sunny modern kitchen & great room addition overlooking a lovely mature private garden. Extensively renovated in 2 phases: 2014 – the Great Room and Kitchen; and 2019 – Bathrooms top to bottom, updated electrical service, and 6 new mini-splits. The first floor offers a beautiful entrance hall with original staircase, large office/BR, which could serve as a sitting room, dining room with a wall of windows overlooking the garden, a sunny great room/kitchen, a library/office, and a glam full bath with a soaking tub with jets...and a heated floor!
