A rare blend of period charm and contemporary finishes, 1880 Fairmount Ave presents a thoughtfully renovated south Salem residence designed for everyday living and entertaining. The main level showcases restored hardwood floors and an open flow between living spaces. The kitchen was upgraded with custom cabinetry, quartz counters, tile backsplashes, a range hood and a dishwasher — details that make daily routines effortless and elegant.
Upstairs you’ll find a flexible bonus room plus three comfortable bedrooms and updated baths featuring quality tile and fixtures. A finished basement expands the usable footprint of the home — ideal for media, home office, or a private hobby area — and is finished to the same standard as the main living spaces. The detached single-car garage is finished for work or storage and complements the well-planned parking and driveway arrangement.
Outside, privacy and entertaining are front-and-center: a large deck flows from the rear of the house and includes a built-in hot tub area, mature plantings, and space for family barbecues. At just under 4,800 sq ft, the lot provides manageable yard space without losing outdoor versatility. Walk to Fairmount City Park within minutes; downtown Salem and regional corridors are easily accessible for commuting or weekend errands.
Practical upgrades and tasteful finishes make this house move-in ready. Whether you’re upgrading from a starter home, relocating to Salem, or seeking a low-turnover rental property, this residence balances immediate comfort and longer-term value.
