1828 Greenlawn Avenue

A towering architect-designed light-filled contemporary home in the desirable West Main Hill/Kalamazoo College area; a most sought-after location. Built in 1989, this striking home offers an extraordinary blend of iconic modern styling, elegant design, everyday convenience, and top-tier finishes. Set on a private wooded lot, with multiple windows that create a bright, inviting atmosphere while bringing beautiful indoor views of nature into the living spaces, this property is unlike any other. Throughout its 3,269 finished square feet, this home features custom finishes. Such finishes are evident in the custom pottery sink in one of the bathrooms and in the wood lattice that surrounds the central staircase, creating a beautiful piece of architectural art. Uplighting in the main living spaces, numerous windows that allow natural light to stream in, and the vaulted ceilings in the screened porch accentuate the spaces in this home. The primary bedroom shutters overlooking the staircase to let in additional light are equally as distinctive. And for practicality, the built-in bookcase in the family room, the built-in desks in the second & third bedrooms, the spacious pantry, and a massive walk-in storage space affectionately known as the "store.” Designed for memorable gatherings, the main living floor features a large chef's working kitchen with ample counter space and stainless-steel appliances, a family room, formal dining and living rooms, a powder room, and an impressive screened porch and large deck overlooking the peaceful wooded surroundings. The upper level features 4 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, a convenient laundry room with a utility sink, a kids' loft space, and an indoor hot tub room; a unique space to relax & unwind. The spacious primary suite features a large walk-in closet, and a dedicated ensuite. The finished lower level provides even more room to spread out, with a large recreation room, a 3rd full bathroom, and a convenient mudroom entry from the 2-car attached garage. This one-owner home has been exceptionally well maintained, with a roof replaced in 2022 and furnace replaced in 2021. With distinctive architecture, custom features, and exceptional outdoor living spaces, this remarkable property offers a rare combination of privacy, style, and functionality. Come take a tour today!
