    What's special

    Siding replaced where neededOriginal hardwood floors
    Classic 1906 Edison home blending original character with major recent updates. Inside you'll find original hardwood floors, generous living space across 3-4 bedrooms and 2 full baths, and a main-floor bedroom and full bath for easy single-level living. A large enclosed front porch adds year-round flex space, and a wood-burning fireplace anchors the living area. The big-ticket items are done: new furnace and water heater (2025), plus a new roof -- shingles and underlayment (2024) -- with siding replaced where needed. City water and sewer, copper plumbing, and a 1-car garage round it out. Refrigerator, range, microwave, washer, and dryer included. Set in the heart of Edison with quick access to downtown Kalamazoo and the highways, and eligible for the Kalamazoo Promise. Move-in ready with the major systems already handled -- just unpack.
