Mid-Century Charm in Traverse City’s Beloved “Triangle” neighborhood. Acutely tucked into this geometric block, and in Traverse City’s most coveted elementary school district, Eastern Elementary, this refreshed two-bedroom, one-bath home captures the effortless cool of mid-century design with the comfort of modern living. Potential for a 3rd bedroom where the bonus storage room is now! Outside, the home sits back on its lot, revealing a surprisingly expansive front yard, an open-air extension, with mature oaks, perfect for summer picnics, morning yoga, or simply soaking in the golden Northern Michigan light. Use the side yard to store your air-stream, or camper too! Within walking distance or short ride, you can be at the beach, exploring downtown, catching a flight, or enjoying the Civic Center and Northwestern Michigan College. Ideal as a primary home, investment, or weekend retreat. Updates include, new floors (10/25), a fresh coat of paint on interior walls and trim throughout (9/25), new membrane roof (10/25), new furnace (10/25), new heat pump (10/23).
