324-328 Essex St # 2

Grand 2 BR 2 1/2 bath duplex located in the historic 1818 Loring-Emmerton House in Salem's McIntire District. This mansion, elegantly subdivided into 4 condos, gets its name from the diplomat & statesman, George P Loring and the great philanthropist & preservationist Caroline Emmerton, under whose leadership the House of Seven Gables museum was established. Large & beautifully proportioned rooms with windows running the length of the front facade on two floors, suffusing the space with abundant natural light. On the living level, the sense of tradition remains with all the fabulous detail intact, but interpreted in a modern way with a house-scaled kitchen and an open flow across the whole floor. Upstairs are 2 large bedrooms, each with its own spa-like bath, & conveniently located laundry. Above is a real bonus, a skylight lit finished attic which could be an office or a studio/art space. 2 car parking , lovely shared outdoor space, and moments to downtown Salem and the train station.
