About this home
This quintessential Norman F. Carver, Jr. classic mid-century modern home, built in 1970 for the original owners, integrates his signature adaptations of Japanese design elements throughout, orchestrating a minimalist simplicity, an airy geometry, and a uniquely harmonious and tranquil atmosphere. The home features characteristic built-ins, wood beams, iconic wood slats, natural materials throughout, and floor-to-ceiling windows. The 2,697 square foot multi-level home has four bedrooms, two baths, an office/library, and a finished basement with an open floor plan for entertaining or family gatherings. Set back on a private drive, this beautiful home with views throughout is nestled in a one-of -a-kind 6+ acre area of woodlands, providing privacy and sanctuary, as well the unique opportunity for both preservation and investment. The property also offers ample space for creating outdoor entertainment areas such as kitchens, putting greens, or courts. Intentionally sited to serve as a platform for the changing seasons, the home and its surroundings are architectural gems and historic treasures.
Conveniently located within Kalamazoo city limits, minutes from championship golf at the newly expanded premier Kalamazoo Country Club, and just a short drive to the shops, cultural amenities, and future Kalamazoo Event Center in the downtown area, this property offers a rare kind of idyllic quietude and nourishing serenity hidden within the city.
