This potentially seven-bedroom, 2.5-bath, circa-1900 Colonial is located in the historic town of Salem, NJ—surrounded by some of the area’s most beautiful and significant period homes. With over a century of character and architectural detail, this property offers incredible potential to bring it back to its original grandeur.
The home requires renovations and is being sold strictly as-is. The seller has priced it accordingly and will make no repairs. As you arrive, the brick front sidewalk guides you to the covered front porch, showcasing original architectural woodwork—truly a beautiful, inviting space perfect for your morning coffee. Imagine how this magnificent home once stood among the grand historic residences lining the street. Step through the front doors into a dramatic entry foyer featuring 10-foot ceilings, inlaid hardwood floors, stunning original staircase and railing leading to the 2nd and 3rd floors, original trim work throughout, transom window above the double doors opening into the living room and a convenient powder room.
