8 Essex St, Salem MA 01970

Commercial Sale

An exceptional opportunity for an owner-occupant, this freestanding office building was renovated to the studs in 2006 by its current owner for their own use, with a level of quality rarely found in typical commercial space. Thoughtfully designed, it is configured with 3 private offices/rooms, reception area, task space, shared workspace, and easily accessible basement storage. Major updates include 200-amp service, open cell insulation in the walls and closed cell insulation in the roof, central air and furnace replaced in 2021, and a 2021 hot water heater. Quality Pella and Andersen windows reflect the care invested throughout. A side entrance provides easy wheelchair access. The location offers an ideal balance—close to everything yet just outside the bustle of downtown Salem. The Beverly Bridge is nearby, Collins Cove less than a minute, and Derby Street and downtown Salem are within walking distance. Easy on-street parking adds convenience for employees and clients. A rare, move-in-ready professional building in a highly accessible Salem location..
