🐻🏡 OPEN HOUSE ALERT! 🏡🐻

Word travels fast in the woods…

Two local bear cubs have apparently taken over hosting duties at 7 Albemarle Street and invited all their forest friends to stop by. Deer, foxes, rabbits, raccoons—everyone wants a peek at this beautifully transformed Worcester bungalow.

And honestly, we can’t blame them.

This home has been completely renovated from top to bottom, featuring a stunning designer kitchen with a 9-foot island, gorgeous hardwood floors, energy-efficient upgrades throughout, beautiful tiled baths, and a backyard patio perfect for relaxing after a long day of foraging. 🌲

The bears may not be making an offer, but you just might.

🎥 Watch the video and then come see what all the excitement is about!

The strongest jobs week we’ve seen in a long time was followed by surprisingly strong existing home sales and a relatively mild rise in “core” CPI. The Fed will meet next week to vote on the direction of interest rates, with no change to policy rates expected.

A lot of people who want to move are telling themselves the same thing: "Maybe I'll just wait until later this year once things calm down."

After a long day of being bears...

These three decided to kick back and relax on the beautiful new stone patio at 7 Albemarle Street. 🐻🐻🐻

With recent bear sightings in this part of Worcester, perhaps they've discovered what makes this home so special.

Completely gutted and rebuilt with exceptional attention to detail, this Nelson Place area gem features an incredible chef's kitchen with a 9-foot honed granite island, new LG Energy Star appliances, gorgeous satin-finished hardwood floors, stylish designer baths, a high-efficiency heat pump with central air, and outdoor living spaces designed for relaxing and entertaining.

The bears may have found it first, but it's still available for humans.
