About this property
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.

Chris was very accommodating for our stay (family coming in at different times) and was very helpful. It is somewhat small but perfect for what we needed as we used it as a home base for visiting area family and friends. Great location!
This place was great for our stay for a family graduation party. The yard and pool table were a nice bonus for our kids. The place was clean, well stocked kitchen & amenities. Easy to communicate with & quick to respond.
had a group of 5 stay for the night. the house easily accommodated all of us. House was great, the neighborhood seemed safe. will definitely rent again!
This was a lovely decorated place. Had everything we needed~ except a wine opener that we went and bought and left there. Nice owner greeted us as we were leaving.
Thank you, Chris. Your home was just what we needed. Perfect location for our visit to the Kalamazoo area and WMU. House was decorated beautifully and everything we needed was available to us. Definitely would rent again.

Smaller than I thought it would be. Small master bathroom. Not a lot of room to walk around the bed in the Master. Nice to have 3 bedrooms
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
