Before Westnedge Hill was a neighborhood, this house was already here. Built in the late 1800s, this Italianate Victorian offers a rare combination of historic character, remarkable space, and comfortable everyday living. With 5 bedrooms plus an office and 3 full baths, there's room here for everyone, and then some. The first floor offers an expansive living room, gracious formal dining room, library/den, and dedicated office, complemented by soaring ceilings, tall windows, and beautiful architectural details. Outside, the sprawling, remarkably private yard feels like an unexpected retreat, with multiple flower gardens, raised vegetable beds, and a hot tub tucked into the landscape. Thoughtful updates blend with character worth preserving. In the heart of Westnedge Hill, this is a truly distinctive piece of Kalamazoo history and a wonderful place to call home.
