A rare opportunity to own a true unicorn in the heart of Salem, New Hampshire. Tucked at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac and set on 1.45 private acres, this executive ranch offers the ease of single-level living without sacrificing space or privacy. While the community is 55+, these homes are not condominiums, giving you the freedom of standalone homeownership with generous land and peaceful surroundings. Inside, the open concept layout is ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. The spacious kitchen with dining area flows seamlessly into the large family room with vaulted ceilings and a cozy gas fireplace, all overlooking the tranquil back porch. A bright and sunny sunroom off the kitchen adds the perfect spot to relax and enjoy the serene setting. A separate formal dining room with vaulted ceilings and French doors offers flexibility—perfect for elegant gatherings or easily used as a private home office. The main level also features first-floor laundry, two bedrooms, and two full bathrooms. The primary suite impresses with vaulted ceilings, a walk-in closet, and a spa-like bathroom complete with soaking tub and separate shower. The beautifully finished walkout basement expands your living space with a welcoming entertainment area featuring a custom built-in bar and rustic touches, plus a convenient half bath. Need storage? You'll also find an additional 960 square feet of unfinished basement space—ideal for all your storage needs. Additional highlights include a two-car garage, town water and sewer, and a prime location just off sidewalk-lined Main Street—only minutes from shopping, dining, cafes, and entertainment at Tuscan Village, as well as the library and all that Salem has to offer. Homes like this rarely come to market—the perfect downsizing option without compromise.
