Property Description

Back in 1937, the owner of this home was selling their Ford Model T Coupe for $25. Earlier, in 1923, the property was listed for $7,000 — not exactly pocket change at the time. And in 1929, Mrs. Ivan Martin (one of the original residents) hosted the Women’s Club here, because that’s what this home has always been: a gathering place. This 1920 bungalow in Fairmount has stood tall through more than a century of stories — and it’s still got plenty of room for more. 2716 sq feet upstairs and 1942 sq feet in the basement. Inside, you’ll find the kind of natural light that makes every room feel like morning. The layout flows easily, giving you large, livable spaces that work whether you’re having a quiet coffee or hosting a house full of people.The big updates are handled — like the roof, HVAC, sewer line, and even smart touches like a Nest thermostat and Ring doorbell. But the soul of the place? That’s original. From the graceful proportions to the way the sunlight lands on the floors in late afternoon, it’s all here.The home’s been thoughtfully cared for by long-time owners, with key updates including Hardie siding (2003), furnace (2010), and a 2016 kitchen remodel. You’ll also find updated plumbing and electrical, a newer water heater, and bathroom updates in 2020. Bonus points for the solar attic fan, back deck, in-ground sprinklers, and a second sump pump — because history is beautiful, but dry basements are better.This isn’t just a house. It’s a continuation of Salem’s past and a container for your future. Whether it’s your turn to host the book club, grow tomatoes out back, or just take in the way the light hits the porch in the evening — it’s all waiting.
