Two homes in one, all within walking distance of downtown Salem. This classic Cape Cod offers 5 bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms, including a 4 bedroom, 2 bath main house and a separate 550 sq ft in-law suite with its own full kitchen and full bath. You'll notice the curb appeal right away, with a manicured lawn, mature landscaping, brick front steps, and a leaded glass front door. Inside, hardwood floors run throughout the main level. The living room is anchored by a wall of built-in bookshelves and cabinets, and the dining room has a warm wood plank ceiling, a brick fireplace, and a bay window that brings in great natural light. The updated eat-in kitchen features cream cabinetry with under-cabinet lighting, a black subway tile backsplash, a glass and stainless chimney hood, a stainless double-oven range, a drawer-style dishwasher, pendant lighting over the sink, and a center island. Just off the dining room is an oversized family room surrounded by windows, with access out to the patio. The main level also has two bedrooms and a full bath. Upstairs you'll find a spacious primary bedroom with a large walk-in closet, a second oversized bedroom, a full bath, and walk-in attic storage. The in-law suite sits above the oversized two-car garage and is a true standalone living space. The 550 sq ft studio includes a full kitchen, full bath, and storage closet, with separate access both through the garage and directly from the exterior. It's set up for extended family, guests, a home office, or rental income. Downstairs, the large unfinished basement offers tons of storage or room to finish and add living space down the road. Out back, the flat yard and patio are ready for grilling, play, or just relaxing. Location is hard to beat. Downtown Salem's shops and restaurants, Roanoke College, the Salem YMCA, and the ballpark, home of the Salem RidgeYaks, are all within walking distance. Homes with this kind of space, flexibility, and location don't come up often in Salem.
