Experience the perfect blend of modern convenience and historic charm in this 4BR/2BA home, located on an iconic brick-lined street in Traverse City’s sought-after Central Neighborhood. Original Craftsman character permeates this home including wood trim, newly refinished hardwood floors, and original light fixtures. With only two owners in nearly one hundred years, this home is both well preserved and thoughtfully updated. The main floor features high ceilings throughout with an expanded and renovated eat-in kitchen including island and pantry, a spacious living room with wood-burning fireplace, a large dining room for easy entertaining, a sun-filled den, and a main-floor bedroom with adjacent full bath. Upstairs, discover three additional bedrooms—including an option for a second primary—plus a full bath, all with abundant closet and storage space rarely found in older homes. The spacious lower level is well-suited for hobbies, workouts, play space, laundry, and storage. Step outside to a private brick patio and 43.5 X 22 garage with two parking spaces plus gardening room with sink, plenty of extra space for hobbies, bikes, kayaks, and a solid foundation for possible ADU. Additional perks include a driveway for off-street parking and an efficient cold roof system, eliminating cold-weather issues found in older homes (see features sheet). Walk to downtown, West End Beach, Munson Medical Center, as well as the shops, restaurants and trails at Grand Traverse Commons. This home offers a rarely found combination of character, function, and location.
