Listing Detail

Description:

Better than condo living! Discover a rare opportunity where the convenience of in-town life blends seamlessly with the peaceful beauty of nature. Tucked along the trout-filled banks of Mitchell Creek, this classic 1968 stick-built ranch home rests on a serene, wooded parcel—an unexpected retreat just minutes from the turquoise waters of East Bay, world-class shopping, and the vibrant heart of downtown Traverse City. Thoughtfully maintained and built to stand the test of time, this home offers privacy, space, and a connection to nature that condos simply can't match. Enjoy morning coffee on the back deck, wander through lush perennial gardens, cast a line in the creek, or unwind in the shade of mature hardwoods. Well cared for and updated over the years with Central AC, hook up and municipal sewer. With sun-filled living spaces, timeless craftsmanship, and the ease of single-level living, this home also features an attached two-car garage and room to expand or personalize. Finish the lower level and unlock up to 3,012 square feet of living space. From raised garden beds to the cheerful song of backyard birds, every element reflects a life in harmony with the land. Whether you're searching for a full-time residence, a seasonal getaway, or a smarter alternative to condo life, this one-of-a-kind property offers the perfect blend of town and country—just moments from beaches, trails, markets, and everything that makes Traverse City so special. Note: Fourth bedroom is located in the lower level and features a non-conforming window. NOTE: Bathroom configuration is a full bath off the bedrooms with shower over tub, then a 1/2 bath off the kitchen currently has a stacker washer and dryer in it. Can be converted.
