This remodeled ranch sits close to everything Traverse City has to offer, with a layout built for easy single-level living. The main floor holds it all: a primary suite with a walk-in closet, a dedicated laundry room, and a fully remodeled kitchen anchored by stainless steel gas appliances and a chef-style range hood. The roof has recently been replaced, so one of the big-ticket updates is already done. The real surprise is the lot: three city lots' worth of yard, anchored by a detached one-car garage with a connecting breezeway. Out back, a paver patio and a garden shed round out the outdoor space, all wrapped in landscaping that carries the curb appeal from the paved driveway all the way back.
