1013 S Park Street, Kalamazoo, Michigan 49001

Step into a piece of Kalamazoo history with this beautifully restored Victorian inspired home in the Historic Vine District, where timeless craftsmanship meets thoughtful modern updates. Lovingly restored, this exceptional home showcases soaring ceilings, refinished hardwood floors, period-appropriate lighting, and remarkable original architectural details throughout. A stately foyer welcomes you inside, featuring the home’s original curved walkway, an added antique lamp, and elegant spiral staircase. Just off the foyer, the parlor/bedroom is separated by custom antique French doors that open into the spacious living room, creating an ideal setting for entertaining. With the doors open, the home can comfortably accommodate gatherings of up to 40 guests. A charming dining room, illuminated by an original 1800s light fixture, connects the living room, kitchen, and bath. The beautifully remodeled kitchen was designed to honor the home’s history while providing modern convenience. Custom cabinetry replicates the original millwork, complemented by durable wall coverings and unique antique accents, including a glass-front cabinet salvaged from the historic 1908 Gilmore House on South Street. A door from the kitchen leads directly to the backyard and porch. The fully renovated bathroom is a true showpiece, thoughtfully designed with period-inspired finishes while incorporating today’s comforts. Features include heated tile floors, a vintage soaking tub, shower, a custom Morisco glass pocket door crafted to match the original windows, and an oversized laundry closet concealed behind solid wood doors reclaimed from a former nunnery. Upstairs, you’ll find two bedrooms, including one with a private dressing room and stunning cathedral-style windows that fill the space with natural light. Extensive improvements provide peace of mind, including all new plumbing, a new furnace and central air (2020), on-demand water heater (2020), storm windows, roof replacement (approximately 2009), and a professionally sealed and waterproofed basement with custom replacement windows, abundant shelving, and exceptional storage. The exterior is every bit as impressive. Recent improvements include freshly painted siding, repaired sidewalks, decorative aluminum fencing enclosing the front yard, and a new deck. The meticulously maintained landscaping offers blooms through much of the year, creating a picturesque setting from every angle. The adjacent 4, 480-square-foot parcel, acquired by the current owner, expands the outdoor space with an urban orchard, a butterfly garden, native plants, and established perennial plantings. Additional conveniences include exterior electrical outlets in both the front and rear yards for seasonal decorating, two new outdoor spigots, and motion-activated lighting. A rare opportunity to own a lovingly preserved historic home where every update has been made with careful attention to its original character and enduring beauty.
