Lovely, well maintained 4-bedroom home in the Witchcraft Heights neighborhood of Salem close to the schools, Salem Hospital, and all that Salem has to offer. When you enter the home, you come into a room which is currently being used as a den but could also serve as a dining room. Also on the first floor is a bedroom with a full bath. Up just a few stairs are the living room with a fireplace and an eat-in kitchen. Off of the kitchen is a screened in porch overlooking a private back yard. A few steps up from the main level you will find 3 more bedrooms with gleaming hardwood floors, and another full bath.
