Step into this California-style beach house stone's throw from Salem Harbor, where airy 9-foot ceilings and an open layout create the ideal setting for effortless entertaining. The chef’s kitchen and living room share tranquil Harbor views that bring a calm, coastal elegance to everyday living. The first-floor primary offers easy living with a walk-in closet and adjacent tiled bathroom highlighted by dramatic ceiling height. A bright second bedroom completes the main level, flowing seamlessly off the central living spaces. Downstairs, a spacious second living room with a picture window anchors the lower level, along with a third bedroom featuring its own walk-in closet and a full tile bathroom. A home office area, laundry room, and custom built-in mudroom offer convenience and functionality, with direct access to parking—perfect for quick comings and goings. Outside, relax on your private paver patio and enjoy the saltwater breeze all summer long. This Harbor-side gem checks every box!
