About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Newly renovated with lots of upgrades.

Newly renovated ranch style duplex unit is conveniently located near the freeways for quick access to the local colleges and universities, local businesses, shopping and dining. Whether your stay is for business or pleasure, you will enjoy the privacy and tranquil environment. The main living area faces the back yard where there are three large maple trees that offer plenty of shade during hot sunny days. The backyard is fenced in for added privacy and security. There is also a fire pit in the back yard for a late evening marshmallow roast or just to relax by an open fire with friends and cold beverages. There's 2200 square feet of living area that includes the basement, which is 1/3 finished. The basement has an egress window that allows for additional sleeping space if needed. There is also a washer and dryer available for guest staying 5 or more nights.

Guest will have access to the entire unit and the back yard. Currently, there will be no access to the garage, but driveway parking is available as well as the parking space that is located on the right side of the driveway. During the summer months, you and/or your guest can also park on the street in front of the house. There is a city ordinance that prohibits street parking beginning November 1st through April 15, from 2am till 6am.

I'm your next door neighbor; however, I travel often for business and pleasure. When I am home, I'm usually just relaxing, watching sports or out and about doing some type of outdoors activity. I welcome you to knock on my door if you need assistance with anything or you can just send me a text message or call. Our interaction is totally up to you. My wish is to make you feel at home.

There is a mailbox in the kitchen that has menus from various local restaurants.
Convenient to freeways, shopping and dining.
KVCC- 10 min drive, Western Michigan University, Kalamazoo College- 15 min drive
The city of Portage offers an extensive bikeway system that allows users to enjoy nature and connects to cultural resources. Most of the roads have designated bicycle lanes and there are separate off-road trails for joint bicycle and pedestrian use.

The neighborhood is fairly quite. All of the homes in the Circle are duplexes, where roughly 40% are owner occupied and the balance are occupied by renters. The area attracts young families with children because of low vehicle traffic. It is not uncommon to see families or kids walking or playing in the streets.
During your stay at this holiday home, you'll be close to Moors Golf Club. Enjoy your stay with amenities like a kitchen and 1.5 bathrooms in the holiday home.
  • Air-conditioned home with kitchen, 1.5 bathrooms and living room
  • Just a 4-minute drive from Westfield Park and a few minutes from Hampton Lake

Three beautiful oaks in the backyard
Overall we had a very good time, we arrived at night and the outside lights were on, and there’s bottles of water in the refrigerator… nice kitchen, well organized with more than necessary dishes and pans. Maybe some hangers in the bathrooms would be good too… Chris was always available and fast in answering the questions. We’re very pleased to stay in the house. Thanks again

Golf weekend
A group of us came for a golf trip. The location was great, right next to the highway and minutes from lots of dining. We had a little trouble with the house code but Chris was able to help us out instantly. The interior was very nice and clean. The beds were comfortable and it was cool to have a grill and pool table there when we were relaxing. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone needing a place near Kalamazoo!

Everything we hoped it would be
The house was clean and nicely decorated. The kitchen had everything we needed to make meals, and the gas / charcoal grill was very handy for the cookout we had with the kids and grand kids. While the 1/2 bath was a bit small it was good to have when the house was full of guests. The back yard was large and great for the grand kids to run around in.Chris was very nice and responded almost immediately when we asked questions .My wife felt very comfortable with the neighborhood and we both slept like babies. The location was very convenient to grocery stores and restaurants. We hope that the property is available on our next visit to Michigan . Thank you Chris for sharing this home with us.
