Here's an affordable, needs work, old NJ house

6 bedrooms and 1.5 baths! That's a chunk of change to add a bathroom or two.

Beautiful bones.

My bet is the buyer will tear it down and put up a McMansion which is sad. That house has so much potential

It has a lot of potential, if someone has the money necessary to completely renovate, add bathrooms, update the kitchen.

I love the exposed brick walls inside the home.
I like the amount of land.
I like the outside buildings.

Personally, it's not open floor plan enough, for me. 

This could be an outstanding home, but it is going to need a heavy duty redo.  There is a couple that have a website about a gorgeous old home in Northern California that was in aged condition, but nowhere near this bad.  They bought it and posted photos and blogged about the process of redoing it. They did all the work themselves, despite having full-time jobs.  It was fun to see the house undergoing all the changes and some of the furniture they found for it.

Probably at least 2x that, but on 5.5 acres and 4000 sf? Still a bargain. 

To me, it looks like most of the ghost-inhabited houses on those TV re-enactments shows. The new owner always falls in love with its "potential."

Drew Barrymore's movie "Grey Gables" came to my mind.

6 bedrooms and 1.5 bathrooms?!?!?

Potential? Maybe, now with all the remote work.

But Salem us a sort of depressed area with few jobs. Whom ever could has moved to DE since Salem nearly there already why pay NJ taxes?

It’s a really beautiful area nature wise.

I like it and if I had the knowledge and my youth back.. and money.. I think I would love to restore something like this. As long as the bones are good. Needs some bathrooms of course.

I can't imagine people actually living in it!! kinda scary to me.. at night.
