About This Home
As of August 2023Welcome to the charming 2-story Bungalow located in the highly sought-after Westwood neighborhood! This home offers a convenient location, situated near restaurants, less than 2 miles to WMU/K College, malls, museums, theaters, and downtown shopping. Not to mention, it qualifies for the renowned Kalamazoo Promise program, providing excellent educational opportunities. This delightful residence boasts numerous updates and upgrades, ensuring modern comfort and style. In June 2023, a brand-new shower was installed on the main level, offering a refreshing bathing experience. Late 2022 saw the addition of a large Samsung washer and dryer in the basement, perfect for handling laundry efficiently. New carpeting installed in the same period provides a cozy feel throughout. The basement has been waterproofed by Great Lakes Waterproofing. Furthermore, a new water heater was installed, guaranteeing a reliable supply of hot water. Late 2022 also witnessed a fresh coat of paint applied to almost the whole house, creating a clean and inviting atmosphere. Additional notable updates include newer windows throughout the house, granite countertops, fresh exterior trim paint, beautiful, refinished wood floors on the main level, fencing, water softener, and R/O drinking water system. The home is equipped with a Nest thermostat for optimal temperature control. The upstairs bathroom has been tastefully remodeled, and a new door leading to the backyard was added, accompanied by an 8'x10' deck—a perfect spot for outdoor relaxation. Vaulted ceilings and fans in both bedrooms enhance the overall ambiance. All appliances, including the new large washer and dryer, are included in the sale, making the transition effortless for the new owners. It's important to note that the current taxes are at 0% non-Homestead, and they should be reduced if the property is owner-occupied, presenting a potential benefit for the buyer. We would prefer to sell fully furnished, negotiated separately.
