1014 Alger Street SE

Welcome to Alger Heights, where the sidewalks lead to some of the best food, drink, & community vibes in Grand Rapids. Brass Ring Brewing pours English ales that make you forget you were supposed to mow the lawn, The Old Goat serves scratch-made meals with live jazz (because why shouldn't your Sunday eggs have a soundtrack?), Ken's Fruit Market has produce so fresh it makes your fridge look lazy, & Real Food Café might just be holding the title belt for 'Best Breakfast in GR.' Don't even get us started on Heights & Cream — you'll find yourself inventing excuses for ice cream walks. As for the house? Cute doesn't cut it. It's downright charming. The espresso-stained hardwood floors look like they were refinished by someone who would rather be called an artist than a contractor. A wood-burning fireplace anchors the living room, just begging for marshmallow experiments. The screened-in 3-season porch feels like an extra living room, while the back deck & fully fenced-in backyard make outdoor living easy. The layout? It actually makes sense (yes, that's rarer than you'd think). Upstairs you'll find 3 bedrooms & a full bath, while the main floor offers a living room, dining room, kitchen, half bath, &the clincheran office/den space that feels built for today's work-from-home life. The flow is comfortable, intuitive, & ready to go. With a detached garage, curb appeal that flirts with perfection, & absolutely nothing on the to-do list, this home shows as good as it lives. Offers held until Tuesday, the 26th @ 11am.
