Charming downtown Traverse City home located on a rare corner lot with the serene Kids Creek running right through the backyard—an idyllic setting for enjoying your morning coffee or unwinding in the evenings on the back deck. This 3-bedroom, 1.5-bath, two-story home is just a short walk or bike ride to all the best that downtown has to offer, including restaurants, shops, beaches, parks, and the TART Trail. Built in 1881, this home combines classic character with modern updates. Features include low-maintenance aluminum siding, a durable metal shingle roof, Pella windows throughout, and a detached 1-car garage with paved driveway. Inside, you’ll find a generously sized dining room, a cozy living room with large windows that flood the space with natural light, and a functional kitchen that’s move-in ready but would really shine with a few updates. Two of the three bedrooms and a full bath are located upstairs, with the third bedroom conveniently on the main floor. This is a fantastic opportunity to invest in a beloved Traverse City neighborhood and make this home your own. You’ll love the charm, location, and potential this property offers.
