1738, ayyI'm like, ''hey, what's up, hello''Seen this pretty house soon as I hopped on Zillow- Fetty Wap (probably)Y'allllllll... this cape cod cutie is bursting onto the market and looking for new owners that will make her feel just as loved as she is now! She's got a brand new metal roof (with a 50 year transferable warranty- hubba hubba), brand new dishwasher, and also a brand spankin' new washer and dryer set. She has two bedrooms on the main floor, with potential to finish off the attic for a third bedroom. The basement is partially finished, with ample space to add a bathroom, or a bar, or a custom storage rack for the black and yellow totes you impulsively bought at Costco (we've all been there, sister)- you name it. Sandwiched right between Alger Heights andBoston Square, you're centrally located to, well, basically everything. The Old Goat is literally only a five minute drive away- you'd be FIVE MINUTES away from a Rhett Butler sandwich, hand cut fries, and a draft rootbeer. THAT is the American Dream (well it's mine, anyway, so let me live vicariously through you). Schedule a tour and make this cutie yours today!

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
