Maybe your house feels like it's shrinking. Movie night, homework, a treadmill and a guest bed are all fighting for the same living room. You don't need a giant house. You need one more level that actually works.
That is what the lower level at 6597 Bela Avenue gives you. When I walked it, the first thing I noticed was the light. It doesn't feel like a basement. It feels like more home.
The fourth bedroom sits just off the rec room, perfect for guests or a quiet home office.
A recreation room with real daylight
The main space downstairs is a wide-open recreation room with daylight windows, recessed lighting and wood-look flooring. It's big enough to set up a sectional and a TV on one end and still have room for a game table, a workout corner or a play area on the other.
Because the lower level is finished, you can furnish it the day you move in. There's no project list standing between you and your first movie night.
A fourth bedroom, set apart from the rest
Off the recreation room is the home's fourth bedroom. It has a daylight window that looks out to the backyard and a ceiling fan. Upstairs you'll find the primary suite with a walk-in closet and private bath, two more bedrooms, a full bath and a loft, so this lower-level bedroom gets some welcome separation.
That separation makes it flexible:
Guest room for visiting family, with their own level to retreat to
Home office away from the main-floor activity
Private bedroom for anyone who wants a little more quiet and independence
Hobby or exercise room right next to the rec room
How the lower level fits the whole home
6597 Bela Avenue is laid out for everyday life on three levels. The main floor has the living room, a dining area that can double as an office or playroom, and a kitchen with stainless appliances and a breakfast bar. The upper level holds the primary suite, two more bedrooms and the loft. Then the lower level adds the fourth bedroom and recreation room.
Outside, the deck overlooks a fully fenced backyard. You also get central air, an attached two-car garage, and city water and sewer on about a quarter acre in Oshtemo Township. The home is in Kalamazoo Public Schools.
A Friday night at 6597 Bela
Picture it. Pizza on the breakfast bar, then everyone heads downstairs. Movie night spreads out in the rec room while visiting family settles into the fourth bedroom for the weekend. Upstairs stays quiet, and nobody is tripping over sleeping bags in the living room. Saturday morning, coffee goes out to the deck while the dog runs the fenced yard.
