2181 N 2nd Street, Kalamazoo, MI 49009

Description

13.3 acres. Open space. Deep woods. Trails. Renovated Executive Home. And an outbuilding that actually matters. This is what acreage property looks like when you don't have to sacrifice the house to get the land. Set well off the road at the end of a long, tree-lined approach, 2181 N 2nd feels removed from everything without actually being far from anything. The property opens into a private clearing with a substantial yard, an extensively remodeled walkout ranch, and a 54'x33' stick-built outbuilding--then keeps going. Beyond the lawn, more the remaining acreage unfolds into mature woods and private trails. Privacy without isolation. Acreage without inheriting a project. Space to work, build, store, explore or simply disappear into your own woods. You can find the house. You can find the land. You can find the outbuilding. Finding all three together is the hard part.The home has undergone extensive improvements designed to make the property as turnkey as its setting is unique. Interior updates include a remodeled kitchen, updated bathrooms, newer flooring and finishes, and nearly all replacement windows. Additional features include a Lutron smart lighting system with voice control and a built-in Polk surround sound system in the finished lower level. The roof was replaced in 2017, and the asphalt driveway was freshly resealed in August 2026. The 54'x33' stick-built auxiliary building adds another dimension to the property. Beyond its large shop/storage area, it includes 220V electrical service, hot water, a 14'x14' finished front office, loft space, and a basement/lower-level workspace with a drain. Outside, the property offers something acreage listings don't always provide: both usable open ground and substantial woods. The home and outbuilding sit within a large private clearing with room to gather, play, garden or simply enjoy the space, while trails extend into the wooded acreage beyond. The result is a property that can serve a lot of different lives: home, recreation, workshop, home business, equipmen
