This well known historical home was built by JAMES KENT in 1865 and is rich in Kalamazoo history. It's unique roof lines and ornate trimmed window sashes welcome you home. Main floor rooms have stately 10' doors and elegant plaster crown molding. Beautiful craftsmanship was put into the trim. Ceiling to floor front windows give beautiful seasonal views down Kalamazoo Avenue. Hardwood flooring throughout. The house provides great natural light in the 4-5 bedrooms. Attached at the back of the home is a separate office that could easily be converted into a studio apartment or can become part of the main home again by opening up a closed off doorway. In the private rod iron fenced in back yard you will find 2 decks to enjoy and raised gardens. The home has recent updates including kitchen, electrical, new boiler in March 2013, replaced ceilings, in ground sprinkler system and is wired for an alarm system. Large updated concrete driveway provides plenty of room for parking.
