This charmingly old but updated house is located along the Kalamazoo River across from a small city park. A larger, adjoining city park has walking/biking trails, fantastic playground, athletic fields/courts, sledding hill, band shell for summer concerts, and picnic pavilions. It is within short walking distances of downtown Albion, elementary and middle schools, and the Albion College campus. It has a living room with a fireplace, dining room, family room, recreation room, kitchen, 5 bedrooms (four upstairs and one on the main floor), and 2 bathrooms. All rooms have been recently painted with light colors, plus oak trim for the main floor and walk-out basement. The carpeting is 5 years old. The unique, large garage is a former carriage house that is built partially over the river. The yard is well landscaped with flower gardens and has a patio with a view of the river and park. The vinyl siding and recent roofs require no maintenance. The furnace with air cleaner and humidifier, water heater, and kitchen appliances have all been replaced within the last 3 years, and there is central air conditioning. The address is 406 Linden Avenue in Albion, Michigan. From the stoplight at the south end of downtown Albion, which is Superior Street (M-99), go 2 blocks east on Erie Street and then south on Linden to the second house.
