WATER ACCESS & VIEWS: The rare and quite desirable traditional "ready-to-build" property is part of a private circle drive consisting of 13 homes, 8 of which are directly on the water. It offers associated lake access for those living within the enclave.
DOWNTOWN CONVENIENCE: It is exceptionally well-located for urban access, situated just a 1-mile walk, bike, or kayak ride from downtown Traverse City.
IMMEDIATE RECREATION: The property is steps away from the Boardman Lake Loop Trail, providing easy access to sailing and scenic walking or Traverse Area Recreation Trail (TART) biking paths.
NEIGHBORHOOD VIBE: Residents in this area frequently cite the dog-friendly atmosphere, well-kept yards, and a strong sense of community spirit as top features. The neighborhood is often described as a quiet "hideaway" that manages to stay connected to all the culture and dining of Traverse City.
NEIGHBORHOOD AMENITIES: Within a short distance, you'll find local favorites like Traverse City Whiskey Co. and Right Brain Brewery, both located less than a quarter mile away.
DAILY ESSENTIALS: High-quality local grocery options such as Oryana Community Co-op and Deering's Meat Market are both roughly 0.4 miles from the address.
