South Salem's Colonial-style homes, built around 1972, often benefit from opening up kitchens to modern open-concept layouts.

Colonial homes in South Salem typically have enclosed, galley-style kitchens. Homes from the 1972s era usually have load-bearing walls separating the kitchen from dining areas, so opening up the floor plan requires an engineer's sign-off and a properly sized header beam ($2,000-$5,000 for the structural work alone). Popular upgrades include quartz countertops ($50-$120/sqft installed), soft-close cabinetry, and under-cabinet LED lighting.
