Charming Cape Cod with an Incredible Heated & Cooled Garage! This move-in-ready 2-bedroom, 1-bath home blends classic charm with thoughtful updates, including newer kitchen cabinetry and stainless-steel appliances, replacement windows, and a welcoming covered front porch. Enjoy the large stamped-concrete back patio and spacious lot on a quiet no-outlet road. The oversized two-car detached garage is a true standout, fully insulated with its own furnace and A/C—perfect for a home gym, office, workshop, hobby space, or additional year-round living space. Recent improvements include a new roof in 2025, furnace (2012), with A/C and most appliances less than 5 years old. Conveniently located near WMU, K College, downtown Kalamazoo, shopping, dining, and everyday amenities. A great combination of character, updates, and versatile space! Front porch could be easily enclosed. Finish-able attic space with original claw foot tub not included in current Sq. footage. Could make a great turn-key rental for someone looking to get into the rental market.
