Built in 1791 by Thomas Rowell this home reflects Salem’s rich maritime heritage. Every hand-hewn beam, wide pine floor, and period fireplace tells a story. Situated in the coveted Derby Street neighborhood, steps from Salem Maritime National Historic Park, Salem Common, and Downtown, this home combines 18th-century craftsmanship-exposed beams, dual staircases, six fireplaces, and a beehive oven—with modern comforts like quartz countertops, top-of-the-line appliances, and updated marble and porcelain finishes. Recent upgrades include central air, a new furnace and hot water tank, fresh exterior paint, and a redone brick driveway. Perennial gardens, peonies, dogwood, and lilac grace the yards, with a Trex deck for entertaining. The floor plan offers 3 bedrooms, including a primary suite with vaulted ceiling and walk-in closet, plus a third floor home office/bedroom. Two off-street parking spaces and easy access to the commuter rail and Salem ferry complete this exceptional home
