It's a couple hundred feet from the marina on the Kalamazoo River. The townhouse has been professionally decorated and offers great interior spaces and amenities and we're always updating our home.

The home is part of an antique colonial structure that also includes our lifestyle mercantile store: The store (see photo) is located at street level at the front of the first floor only and the townhouse is at the rear of the first floor and the townhouse is also on the entire second floor (that's why we call it a townhouse).
