9 Boardman St # 3

A low condo fee sets this top-floor one-bedroom unit apart, the kind of monthly cost that makes ownership in an 1879 Italianate just minutes from Salem Common and Collins Cove attainable. Generously sized for a Salem one-bedroom, it offers a flexible layout: a separate living room, a dining area that could convert easily into a home office, and a kitchen finished with granite counters and a pressed-tin backsplash. Freshly painted, with hardwood floors throughout, built-in storage under the eaves, and a shared garden patio out back. The restaurants and sights of downtown Salem are moments away, and the commuter rail and ferry put Boston within reach without the city price tag.
