Tucked into a natural, private setting at the coveted base of Old Mission Peninsula, this 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath home offers a rare combination of space, serenity and convenience. Set on nearly 3/4 of an acre, you’re just moments from downtown Traverse City, yet perfectly positioned to head up the Peninsula for wineries, farm stands, beaches and everything that makes Old Mission so special. Step inside and feel like you’re living in a treehouse! The open living, dining and kitchen area is surrounded by windows and sliding glass doors opening to a wraparound deck, bringing the outdoors into everyday living. The primary suite is its own peaceful retreat with a private slider to the deck—the perfect spot for morning coffee while watching the deer wander through—plus a luxurious bath with soaking tub and convenient laundry. A sun-filled flex room centered around a natural fireplace offers endless possibilities as a family room, home office or potential fourth bedroom. The walkout lower level expands the living space with a generous family room featuring built-in storage, two bedrooms, full bath, abundant storage and direct access to the wooded surroundings. The oversized three-car garage offers a workshop, heated workout area, usable attic storage and room for two vehicles. Recent updates include newer appliances, 70 gallon water heater, refinished floors, brand-new carpeting, fresh paint and portions of new decking. Can be sold fully furnished and turn-key! The eastern lot is county owned, unbuildable and provides added privacy. A special opportunity in a sought-after location near Eastern Elementary, Central High School, Northwestern Michigan College and downtown Traverse City—private, peaceful and full of possibilities.
