Some homes offer convenience. Others offer privacy. Very few offer both. Located in Traverse City's highly sought-after Slabtown neighborhood, this beautifully renovated four-bedroom, three-bath home backs to protected woodland and offers a rare combination of natural serenity and downtown accessibility. Walk to restaurants, beaches, parks, and the TART Trail, then return home to a peaceful setting where towering trees create a private backdrop just minutes from the city center, one block from Willow Hill School. Originally built in 1941 and extensively renovated in 2005, with significant additional renovations completed in 2020, the home offers nearly 3,200 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space. Expansive walls of glass fill the home with natural light while framing tranquil woodland views rarely found within the city limits. Rich Cumaru Brazillian Hardwood flooring flows throughout the main living areas, connecting the spacious living room, dining area, chef's kitchen featuring granite countertops, custom cabinetry, premium appliances, beverage refrigerator, double ovens, a large center island with seating, and a fireplace that creates a warm gathering place. The main-floor primary suite features its own fireplace, walk-in closet, private laundry area, and spa-inspired bath with steam shower. Additional bedrooms, flexible living spaces, and a finished lower level provide room for family, guests, hobbies, or remote work. Glass doors open to a private patio and beautifully landscaped backyard where the owners have enjoyed morning coffee and evening sunsets overlooking the protected woods beyond. Additional features include two laundry areas, electric shades on the covered porch, central air conditioning, underground irrigation, and a new roof installed in 2024. Select furnishings are available to transfer with the sale. A rare opportunity to enjoy privacy, nature, and walkable downtown living in one of Traverse City's most desirable neighborhoods.
