On a quiet residential street in Buchanan, the evenings get still and the trees out back take over the view. 940 Chippewa is that kind of place. Your day starts on the enclosed front porch with coffee in hand. Inside, the living room shows real attention to detail: wood trim framing the windows with blinds, plus wallpaper selected with purpose and design in mind. The kitchen and dining space is where everyone ends up. Two large windows bring daylight onto modern cabinets, a butcher block countertop and stainless-steel appliances, including a French door refrigerator. The kitchen's thoughtful design and functionality, right down to the black stainless-steel sink, are what guests always talk about. Two bedrooms with hardwood floors share the main floor with a full bath finished in ceramic tile, including a tile shower surround. Laundry shares space with the main floor bath, saving you trips to the basement and making main level living easy. Take the carpeted staircase up (the patterned runner is worth a second look) and the upper level is a private bedroom with a walk-in closet you'll actually use. Out back, step out onto the deck and you will see the yard keeps going, with a shed for the mower and the bikes. Past the lawn, a line of mature woods gives the backyard a kind of privacy that's hard to find inside city limits. There's even a young willow tree out there, just getting started. The work you can't see has been done too. The mechanicals are newer, with items replaced as needed. The home is also in the Buchanan Community Schools district, home of the Buchanan Promise, through which eligible students can qualify for scholarship money toward college or trade school.
