Some homes just feel like home.
Tucked away in the heart of Alger Heights, this charming 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom Cape Cod blends character, comfort, and thoughtful updates. Picture Saturday mornings beginning with brunch nearby, afternoons spent exploring the neighborhood farmers market, and lunch featuring one of the best sandwiches in town before heading home.
Out back, you'll find your own private retreat complete with a gazebo and hot tub, creating the perfect space to unwind, entertain, or enjoy quiet evenings under the stars.
Full of warmth, character, and inviting spaces both inside and out, this is the kind of home you'll want to experience in person.
She's a cutie, and I can't wait for you to meet her!
