Welcome to Studio 55, a masterfully converted shoe factory transformed into a 1,925 sqft single-family masterpiece. This rare architectural gem perfectly blends industrial grit with luxury living. The versatile first floor features exceptional space for an art studio, workshop, office, or gym, complemented by a rare, heated 2-car garage plus 2 off-street spaces. Head upstairs to a jaw-dropping residential sanctuary defined by, exposed brick, sandblasted timber beams, and red oak floors. The open-concept main level offers seamless flow between the kitchen, dining, and living areas perfect for gatherings with oversized windows. It features 2 spacious bedrooms including a primary with custom storage and a beautifully appointed bath. The crowning jewel is the private rooftop terrace, ideal for entertaining with views toward Salem Harbor.
