Occupying half of a distinguished Federal-style 1802 home built for shipmaster Captain Thomas Whittredge and his wife, Sarah, this gracious three-story, three-bedroom, two-and-a-half bath townhouse exudes refined historic charm and thoughtful modern adaptation.  Meticulously restored by its current owner, a renowned local craftsman with a deep respect for heritage and quality.  Every surface has been carefully revived—original woodwork stripped and refinished, antique hardware restored, the granite foundation and exposed chimney fully repointed. Modern updates include all new electrical and new plumbing systems, 2016 high-efficiency 3-zone hot-water heat, and historically accurate divided-lite windows.  Closed-cell insulation and premium storm windows enhance energy efficiency, resulting in a solid, remarkably airtight home. The interior offers well-proportioned, sun-filled rooms on all three levels, most with dual exposures. The basement, with good ceiling height, offers excellent use for storage, a workshop, or a workout space.  Outside, enjoy a fenced-in private backyard with deck and bluestone patio—ideal for entertaining or quiet relaxation. The property includes off-street parking spaces and easy access to downtown Salem and the train station!
