Tucked among the trees on a beautifully private lot, this updated ranch home with a newly finished walkout lower level offers both comfort and convenience. Located near east side Traverse City Schools, the setting is ideal while still providing a peaceful, secluded feel. The main floor features a spacious primary suite, two additional bedrooms, and convenient main-floor laundry. Numerous updates have been completed within the past few years including a new roof in 2021, as well as a remodeled basement including a 65” LG OLED TV with a Bose home theater entertainment system, new gas fireplace, new bathroom with soaker tub, and a non-conforming bedroom (guest room, office, craft room) making this home truly move-in ready. A kayak/boat rack will also remain with the property, adding to the home’s outdoor appeal.
