This 1870’s Mansard Roof Home in Salem is gorgeous and thought it was worthy of going Wild. Bonus that there is a secret door/hidden room in the library!
Let’s take a look inside the Mansard home!
But first, let’s take a look outside! The exterior is so pretty? I never thought i’d like a mustard color home but this one is gorgeous!
Step in and the foyer hits you with wallpaper that boldly captures your attention, featuring intricate patterns and vibrant colors that seem to dance across the walls. It creates an inviting atmosphere, drawing you further into the space, where the warm hues envelop you in a cozy embrace, hinting at the stories and warmth that await within this charming home.
Here’s the living room.
Here’s the dining room.
Here’s the kitchen and family room. Love the skylights and natural light they bring!
Here’s the moment we’ve all been waiting for! The little library with hidden door. It also has a little reading spot.
Now you see it?
And now you don’t!
The primary suite is nice as well, featuring spacious dimensions that create an inviting atmosphere, abundant natural light streaming through large windows, and tasteful decor that enhances its charm, making it an ideal retreat for relaxation after a long day.
