Property Description
Tucked within the highly sought-after Algonquin community just beyond Cambridge city limits, this exceptional property offers the perfect blend of lifestyle, location, and value-enjoy lower county taxes while benefiting from public water and sewer service. Algonquin is known as one of the area's premier neighborhoods, with mature pine trees, a mix of waterfront and inland homes, and outstanding community amenities including two waterfront lots-one featuring a community pier, boat ramp, and trailer storage for easy access to the water. Designed with outdoor living and entertaining in mind, this home is your private summer retreat. The beautifully appointed, fully fenced backyard showcases a heated in-ground saltwater pool, complete with an adjacent pool house with bath.

The recently updated primary suite is a true sanctuary, featuring a private balcony overlooking the pool and backyard, walk-in closets, and a luxurious spa-inspired bath with dual vanities, bidet, air-jetted tub, and a walk-in shower with body sprayers, handheld, and rain shower. Two additional bedrooms and a full bath-each with hardwood flooring-complete the upper level. The main level welcomes you with a charming foyer featuring wood parquet flooring, leading to a spacious living room, formal dining room, and a kitchen that opens to the inviting family room with a brick fireplace and gas log set. The versatile sunroom with vinyl window system easily converts to a screened porch for summer enjoyment, while a propane gas stove/heater extends its use through the cooler months. A powder room completes the first floor. Additional highlights include a 2-car garage with a separate washer and dryer-perfect for pool towels, outdoor gear, or work clothes-keeping the main living areas pristine.
