Steps from restaurants, close to Winter Island beach and Willows Park. For history lovers, it sits five doors west of Beadles Tavern, where the first accused witches were deposed in 1692. Minutes to the train, with 3 deeded parking spaces. A romantic, enduring homeperfect for those seeking an intact antique home in Salems heart.
