    BOAT SLIP IS OPEN AND AVAILABLE! Surrounded by the crystal-clear turquoise waters of East and West Grand Traverse Bay, Old Mission Peninsula remains one of the most coveted addresses in Northern Michigan. Known for its breathtaking scenery, rolling vineyards, and world-class wineries, this exceptional location offers a lifestyle that feels like a year-round retreat. Tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac street, this beautifully maintained home offers privacy, comfort, and an unbeatable location. Residents enjoy access to nearly 400 feet of shared East Grand Traverse Bay frontage. Whether your vision includes morning paddleboard sessions, sunset beach visits, or securing a boat slip and spending your summers on the water, this is a rare opportunity to embrace waterfront living without the waterfront price tag. Adding even more appeal, there is no HOA and no monthly association fees—providing freedom and flexibility that is increasingly difficult to find on the Peninsula. Inside, thoughtful updates have elevated the home including new in the last 4 years - furnace, a/c, hot water heater, kitchen appliances, basement flooring/in-law apartment, leaf guard gutters, fencing and even more! A beautifully remodeled kitchen serves as the heart of the home, complemented by an open-concept floor plan designed for everyday living and effortless entertaining. The walkout lower level has also been updated, creating additional functional living space for guests, hobbies, recreation, or relaxation. Outside, the setting is equally impressive. Mature landscaping, outdoor entertainment spaces, a highly private yard, and a spacious three-car garage, provide both beauty and practicality. Enjoy effortless access to highly sought-after Eastern Elementary School, dining, shopping, healthcare, and year-round events.
