What's special

Mid-century modern inspired homeClean linesBeautiful architecturePrivate backyard oasisThoughtfully updatedTree-lined streetInviting layout

Meet the little blue house on Washington Street. Tucked along one of Traverse City’s most beloved, tree-lined streets, this mid-century modern inspired home is full of personality and thoughtfully updated while keeping the character that makes it special. Clean lines, warm details, and an inviting layout give the home an easy, comfortable feel that fits right into this iconic neighborhood. Washington Street has long been one of Traverse City’s most treasured residential streets, surrounded by beautiful architecture and just minutes from downtown, the bay, parks, beaches, and everything that makes in-town living so desirable. But the real surprise is out back. Step outside and the city seems to disappear into a private backyard oasis made for slow mornings, summer dinners, and evenings spent outside. Quaint, updated, and just a little unexpected, the little blue house is one of those homes that feels distinctly Traverse City and distinctly its own.
