Tucked into a prime Traverse City location, this sweet 3-bedroom, 1-bathroom ranch offers both move-in-ready comfort and exciting future possibilities. Situated on a .22-acre city lot with exclusive alley access shared by just 10 lots, this home is just blocks from local cafes, a bakery, grocery stores, and restaurants—all in a highly walkable neighborhood with sidewalks connecting you to everything. Inside, you'll find new flooring throughout and a renovated bathroom, creating a fresh and inviting space. The unfinished basement is a blank canvas, ready for additional living space, a home office, or a recreation room. Additionally, the zoning flexibility of this property allows for a garage or an additional dwelling, giving the next owner the potential to create a rental space, guest quarters, or a private studio. Plus, with quick access to the TART Trail, walking or biking around town—or straight to Grand Traverse Bay—is effortless. Schedule a showing today and experience the best of Traverse City living! Seller will be reviewing offers on Monday, March 17th after 4pm.
