Welcome to this beautifully maintained 3-bedroom, 1-bath ranch built by Gordon Weber Construction on a half-acre lot in the sought-after Maplewood Forest neighborhood. Quiet, wooded, and wonderfully walkable, this is the kind of neighborhood where evening strolls under mature Maple and Oak trees are part of daily life. The location is truly central, close to downtown Traverse City and even closer to lakes, parks, and trails, giving you convenience and outdoor recreation without sacrificing either. Public-maintained asphalt roads keep things easy year-round, and there are no HOA fees. Inside, a bright living room flows into an adjacent dining area and out onto the back deck, effortless for everyday living and entertaining. The fully functional kitchen is ready for your personal touch, and all three bedrooms sit conveniently on the main level. The bathroom has been refreshed with a new vanity, mirror, lighting, fixtures, toilet, and shower door. This home has been thoughtfully updated over the years for real peace of mind. Most recently, in 2026, it was freshly painted, the driveway was resurfaced, the septic was pumped, and the front and back decks were reinforced and stained. A new water heater was installed in 2024. In 2022, the roof was completely replaced, new carpet was added in two bedrooms. A new washer was installed in 2021. The dryer followed in 2020, and 2019 brought a new pressure tank and water softener. A full unfinished basement adds storage or future finishing potential, backed by forced-air heat, central AC, and natural gas. Outside, two decks offer serene living, with tiger lilies framing the back deck and Lily of the Valley and myrtle lining the north and west sides of the home. With immediate possession available, this move-in-ready gem combines solid construction, a generous lot, a 2-car garage, and walkable charm in a location that puts you between downtown and nature, BOTH within easy reach.
