Built in 1925 and meticulously brought back to life, 2144 Alger Rd delivers the architectural character Lakewood buyers compete for - pristine original hardwood floors throughout, craftsman built-ins, arched doorways - paired with modern upgrades that make a home genuinely livable. The kitchen, dining room, and bathroom have all been thoughtfully updated - not to erase the home's age, but to honor it. Every choice adds character rather than covering it up. The crown jewel is the finished attic suite - a light-filled space with recessed lighting and natural light from all four exposures, equally compelling as a home office, creative studio, or private retreat. The big-ticket work is already done: fully updated electrical (2017), new hot water heater (2019), roof largely rebuilt during the 2020 attic renovation, and a new driveway (2023). Out back, a fully irrigated organic potager garden with raised steel beds, installed in 2024, is already waking up for spring. Out front, a covered porch is the perfect place to slow down and catch the morning sunrise. Walk to Lakewood's restaurants, coffee shops, and parks. Lake Erie is less than two miles away. This is the dream home you've been waiting for in one of the most sought-after areas in Cleveland.
