About This Home
As of June 2020Enjoy the convenience of main floor living with the flexibility of a beautifully finished walkout basement in this clean country home with many updates. Natural light brings out the warm tones of hardwood flooring and exposed beams in the spacious open concept living/dining area. The large master bedroom has double closets, with the laundry room, a second bedroom and two full baths close by. The kitchen features an ample amount of hardwood cabinets and a pass-through window to the dining area. A third bedroom on the main floor has large windows and could also make a great office or studio space. Sip your coffee in peace as you observe the wildlife from the screened-in porch overlooking your picturesque wooded acreage. In colder months, you can curl up next to the woodstove and watch the snow come down in comfort. Living space has been greatly expanded with the recently finished walkout basement. The spacious family room and fourth bedroom are brightened by windows facing the back, a generously sized room around the corner would make a great den or office, and another room is waiting to be turned into a third bathroom. Recent updates include a new roof with 50-year shingles, new gutters with leaf guards, electrical and plumbing upgrades. The property features ample room for parking and storage, with a 3-car garage and a 30x40 machine shed. The garage has new vinyl siding, new windows, and new overhead doors. A variety of mature hardwood and evergreen trees create a perfect environment for both wildlife and outdoor enthusiasts. Use the deer blind at the back of the property for hunting or taking great nature photos. Beautiful park-like back yard has plenty of room to plant a garden.This is ideally located on a quiet road just a short distance from M-43 and many outdoor attractions like lakes, golfing, and fruit farms. Easy access to US131 and only 15 minutes from Kalamazoo and the WMU campus for great shopping, dining, and entertainment. 40 minutes from South Haven and Lake Michigan, and 45 minutes from Grand Rapids.
