441 Woodward Ave

Located halfway between downtown Kzoo and the universities in the historic Stuart neighborhood, this fun loft is inside a Victorian built in 1900 with lush green gardens minutes to downtown and local universities. The loft unit features an open living room with many built in closets and shelves, an open kitchen with microwave, range and refrigerator, bathroom with claw foot tub/shower, and a private attached sky deck with seating and grill. A spiral staircase leads to the bedroom area on the second floor features bleached gray pine plank flooring and walk in closet. The property only has 4 units and so it is a very comfortable and quiet living experience with fully updated amenities and finishes in all common areas. The brand new radiant steam heating system keeps the unit very warm and toasty during the winter and the unit is fully air conditioned during the summer. Some of the shared amenities include a large swimming pool, stately wrap around porch, brand new laundry room, Amazon lockbox, green gardens everywhere with seating areas, grilling area and picnic table. High speed fiber internet is available at address via AT&T Fiber. A large park perfect for kids & dogs is a one minute walk away and features a running track. The Stuart neighborhood is the first neighborhood outside of downtown that was built by the prosperous locals at the beginning of the 1900s and is much quieter than other nearby areas such as Vine. These large homes were mostly converted to multi family units during the Great Depression almost 100 years ago. Today it's a mix of mostly graduate students, families and working professionals that live in Stuart.
