15 First St

A low-rise condominium complex dating to 1986, the Cloisters in Salem is a single-story, garden-style community of multi-bedroom units arranged around wooded conservation edges. Units are large two-bedroom layouts with cathedral ceilings and loft spaces created by open plans; many feature central vacuum systems, in-unit laundry hookups, walk-in closets, and access to a walk-up attic. Exterior character leans residential and rustic — private covered balconies or decks, covered patios, and individual storage deliveries at grade. Common comforts include oversized detached or under-building two-car garages, efficient gas heating, and central air in updated homes. Interiors show a mix of original and renovated finishes across the complex, from hardwood floors and updated galley kitchens with granite and stainless steel to recently replaced HVAC and water heaters. On-site parking is ample with garage bays and driveways; small pets are typically permitted with association approval. The setting emphasizes a wooded, country-like feel with views over Salem Woods and proximity to shopping corridors, commuter rail, medical centers, downtown Salem attractions and ferry access, offering a suburban-convenient lifestyle within short drives of local transit.
