Maybe you have been scrolling through listings and they all start to blur together. You want a home with a little history in it, and you still want a kitchen and mechanicals you don't have to think about.
That is exactly why I am excited to introduce 2823 Fulford Street. It's a 1942 ranch in the Milwood neighborhood of Kalamazoo, and the minute you walk through the front door you see the arched doorways, the wood floors and a fire going in the fireplace. Here is your first look.
The living room pairs a wood-burning fireplace with a picture window, arched doorways and wood floors.
Classic charm from the front walk
The home sits on a 0.13-acre lot with a sidewalk out front, shutters on the windows, a brick chimney and a stone path leading to the front step. A small covered porch shelters the entry. At dusk, with the lights on inside, the big picture window glows right out onto the street.
A living room built around the fireplace
Inside, the living room is the heart of the house. It measures about 14'10" x 16'3" on the floor plan, with a painted brick wood-burning fireplace on one wall and the picture window on the other. Arched doorways lead out of the room, and wood floors run underfoot. On a cold Michigan night, this is where you'll want to be: fire crackling, blanket on the couch, the street quiet outside.
The living room flows straight into the dining area, so the main floor feels open and easy for having people over.
A bright white kitchen and a dining nook with a built-in bench
The kitchen is bright and white, with white cabinets, a subway-tile backsplash and stainless appliances. The range, microwave, dishwasher and refrigerator are all included. A window over the sink brings in light, and a back door leads out to the deck.
Just off the kitchen is my favorite spot in the house: a dining nook with a built-in bench, blue paneled walls and botanical wallpaper. It's the perfect corner for morning coffee or a Sunday board game.
Two bedrooms and a full bath on one level
Both bedrooms are on the main level, along with the full bath, so everyday living happens on one floor. On the floor plan, the bedrooms measure about 11'3" x 13' and 12' x 10'5", and each has its own closet.
Below the main level, the full basement holds the laundry and gives you room for storage, from holiday bins to bikes and tools.
A fenced backyard, a deck and an oversized garage
Out back, the fenced yard and deck are ready for relaxing, grilling or letting the dog run. A paved driveway leads to the oversized detached two-car garage with an opener, which gives you space for vehicles, hobbies and storage.
The home also has central air, forced-air natural gas heat, replacement windows and city water and sewer.
