Salem house carved from old shoe factory drops for $549,000

The current owner—and now would-be seller—of the approximately 2,500-square-foot house at 55 Perkins Street in Salem bought the old shoe factory in 2003, and converted it into its current brick-and-beam splendor.

That splendor can be yours through Paul Santucci for $549,000.

Touches include red oak floors, a gas-fired Franklin stove, and those aforementioned bricks and beams. There’s also plenty of room, plus parking—1,925 square feet of the two-story, two-bedroom house is living space, with the rest garage.

Plus, it’s the perfect time of year to be in Salem anyway.
