Property Description
OPEN HOUSE SATURDAY 4/18 11:30 to 1:30. Welcome to 618 Alger, a solid brick home in the heart of Alger Heights, where character, location, and opportunity come together. From the moment you step inside, you'll feel the warmth of the original details, hardwood floors in the bedrooms (and under the new carpet), a fireplace anchoring the living room, and a dining space with classic built-ins. The main level offers 2 bedrooms and a full bath with vintage charm that's increasingly hard to find. This home is comfortable as-is, but the real value is in the potential. Whether you're looking to make thoughtful updates over time or fully reimagine the space, this is the kind of property that rewards your vision. The basement adds flexibility with egress, a second fireplace, and an additional full bath, creating the opportunity for both a future bedroom (buyer to verify use) and additional living space. A solid Alger Heights home with the kind of potential you can make your own.
