278 Lafayette St #3 · Apartment for Rent

Availabble Noveber 1st! Live in a piece of Salem history. This second-floor 2-bedroom home sits inside a stately 1891 Victorian mansion on Lafayette Street. The street is part of a historic district known for one of the finest collections of Victorian architecture in Salem, and every walk home feels like a stroll through the city's past. Inside, the apartment keeps the period character that makes these homes special, with details you won't find in new construction. Two bedrooms give you room for a guest space, a home office, or a creative studio, and the layout is easy to settle into and make your own. Heat and hot water are included, a real advantage through New England winters. You can stay warm without watching the thermostat or worrying about seasonal utility spikes. Practical comforts round it out: off-street parking, so you skip the hunt for a spot, and on-site laundry (coin-op) in the building. The location connects you to the best of Salem. Salem State University is just minutes away, and Forest River Park is close by for waterfront walks, picnics, and summer afternoons by the ocean. Historic downtown Salem, with its restaurants, cafés, shops, museums, and the waterfront at Salem Maritime National Historic Site, is about a mile away, an easy walk or a quick bike ride.
