Live in nature, in history, and in the center of it all in one of Traverse City's original neighborhoods - the beloved Slabtown district. Just moments from award-winning restaurants, boutique shops, fresh water beaches, and recreational trail systems, this address places you in one of the most sought-after pockets of a city consistently recognized among the top places to live in the United States. This 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom ranch embraces main-level living with a layout that feels both open and intimate and is perfectly complemented by a fully finished lower level that offers additional living space ideal for guests, recreation, or a private retreat. At the center of the home, a fully renovated gourmet chef’s kitchen sets the tone, featuring a 48" Thor gas range and a striking butcher block island made of walnut, maple and oak...designed for both everyday cooking and elevated hosting. Enjoy morning coffee, entertaining or a yoga session outside on the expansive, multi-tiered deck where the backdrop is the gentle movement and sounds of Kids Creek. Mature trees line the property creating privacy and charm that feels worlds away — yet you remain just minutes from the energy of downtown. Life feels easier here thanks to the numerous updates including brand new 40-year roof, fresh paint throughout the home as well as the entire outside. Built in 1994, this young downtown home has had many other updates in the last 2 years including, mechanicals, appliances, flooring and more. Immaculate Conception and Willow Hill Elementary schools are within a few blocks as well as Munson Hospital, Hickory Hills Ski Hill and West Grand Traverse Bay. Here, you’re not just buying a home — you’re stepping into the rhythm of the Traverse City lifestyle.
