460 Superior St S, Salem, OR 97302

This classic fairmount home has been lived in by families raising children since the 1930s. It boasts 4 bedrooms, 4 baths, an office and room for the whole family. It was completely renovated in 2006 and nearly every surface of the home inside and out has been updated. The home has been warmed by the thoughtful use of great color and the addition of such features as granite and limestone floors in the kitchen. It is located in the heart of a fabulous neighborhood, at the top of Fairmount Hill and just a block or two from the Oregon Governors mansion. Neighborhood Description This is one of Salem's oldest and most desireable neighborhoods. It is very close in to the downtown area, but is laid out with dead end streets to minimize drive through traffic. The homes in Farimount are highly sought after and this is a neighborhood where many homes change hands without ever coming on to the market. The neighborhood boasts many long time residents who raised families here and remain on in their retirement. It also has multiple generations of the same family living near each other, or simply keeping the warm family fires burning in the same home for generation after generation. This neighborhood is home to the Oregon Governors Mansion and the home of the Willamette University Presidents home. Many structures are on the National Historic Registry. The neighborhood is great for walking and has several trails connecting parts of the neighborhood that are only for pedestrians and not well known to those out of the area. Charm abounds.
