Now offered at an improved price, 136 Shore Drive in Salem is a beautifully updated Cape with open-concept living in a desirable Arlington Pond neighborhood. The brand-new kitchen features a Thermador 6-burner gas range and hood, and the nearby laundry room includes a handy pet washing station. Natural light fills the home, and glimpses of the water can be enjoyed from several rooms. A private guest suite includes its own bath and balcony overlooking the backyard. The partially finished walkout lower level offers the potential for an additional 840 sq ft of living space and is pre-plumbed for a full bathroom. Additional highlights include central A/C, standby generator, new driveway, and freshly seeded lawn. Just a short walk away, the optional Griffin Beach Association offers access to a sandy beach and boat launch for only $40/year. While the home offers spacious and flexible living areas, it is approved for a 2-bedroom septic due to lot size. Located minutes from Tuscan Village, Canobie Lake Park, and commuter routes.
