About This Home

As of October 2024

Welcome to this stunning Oshtemo Township property, a Kalamazoo Promise eligible home! The sellers have already taken the initiative to have the home professionally inspected, ensuring complete transparency. All three recommended improvements have been completed, giving you peace of mind and a truly move-in-ready home. The beautiful home has been meticulously renovated to blend modern luxury with practical living. Set on 2.4 wooded acres, this 5-bedroom, 4-full bathroom home offers low-maintenance living and is conveniently close to parks, restaurants, and schools, including Kalamazoo College, KVCC, and WMU. For outdoor enthusiasts, the location is a dream. Within a 10-mile radius, you'll find a plethora of options like Kal-Haven Trail State Park, Oshtemo Township Park, Kalamazoo Nature Center, Markin Glen Park, and Prairie View Park perfect for hiking, biking, and exploring nature.

No detail has been overlooked. The sellers have thoughtfully brought this home up to modern building codes, including a new roof, siding, windows, electrical, HVAC system, plumbing (with connections to city sewer and water), light fixtures, and flooring, as well as fresh paint throughout.

Upon entering, the main floor greets you with a spacious, open layout where the living room, dining area, and kitchen seamlessly flow together. The brand-new kitchen features granite countertops and stainless steel appliances, with a nearby full bathroom, laundry area, and storage closet for added convenience. The primary bedroom suite, located on the main floor, is a peaceful retreat boasting two large closets and a beautifully updated en-suite bathroom. You can access a private patio directly from the suite or the kitchen, making it the perfect spot to enjoy your morning coffee or unwind by a cozy evening bonfire. Next to the primary suite is another bedroom, perfect for use as an office or guest space. Upstairs, you'll discover two more bedrooms, a large open area perfect for a second living room, a third full bathroom, and a fun hidden bonus room with additional storage.

For those seeking a blend of luxury living and financial savvy, this home offers an exceptional opportunity. With two fully equipped living spaces, you can enjoy the main house while renting out the guest quarters in the lower level, making it an ideal setup for house hacking! The separate one-bedroom, one-bathroom living space, complete with its own kitchen, living area, and private entrance, is perfect for multi-generational living, hosting guests, or creating a steady income stream. This home adapts effortlessly to your lifestyle, offering flexibility and value that make it a truly strategic investment.

Beyond the home, nature takes center stage on this sprawling property. A detached garage, cozy bonfire pit, and thoughtfully designed boulder landscaping create an inviting space for relaxation and gatherings. The expansive backyard provides the perfect setting for outdoor entertainment, while 70% of the land remains untouched, serving as an ecologically diverse haven covered with mature trees. Whether you envision quiet moments of exploration or the creation of your own private trails, this natural sanctuary is yours to discover.

This beautifully renovated home is ready for you to move in and enjoy. With all the updates complete and every detail thoughtfully considered and modernized, you can simply relax and relish in the space, nature, and community that make this Oshtemo Township property truly one-of-a-kind.
