324-328 Essex St # 3

Erected in 1818, this grand home now elegantly parceled into 4 condos, gets its name from the diplomat and statesman, George P Loring and the great philanthropist and preservationist Caroline Emmerton, under whose leadership the House of Seven Gables museum was established. Enter this sprawling condo to the serene open living areas overlooking the Ropes Garden. The custom kitchen has floor to ceiling cabinets & durable quartz counters providing plenty of room to spread-out. BR 1 delights with a gently arched ceiling, Miss Emmerton's ornately carved meditation room, and a glamorous bath with a five-sided bay window offering panoramic views of an array of 19th century houses and gardens. The multifunctional 2nd BR offers the dramatic surprise of a groin-vault ceiling, cantilevered bay window (used as an exercise space), side room (used as an office), a fabulous paneling, and spa like marble mosaic bath. Parking for 2 cars, lovely grounds, and best of all...30 seconds downtown Salem!
