This lovingly-maintained 3 bed/1.5 bath ranch with shared frontage on sparkling Silver Lake has been in the same hands for 30 years, and it shows in all the right ways. Thoughtfully updated and cared for over the decades, it now features a full kitchen remodel, new flooring throughout, fresh interior paint, new windows, and new appliances. Situated on a generous half-acre lot in a quiet neighborhood just a short distance from Silver Lake. Residents here enjoy shared access to a private community beach and park, making summer days easy and fun. An insulated pole barn on the property offers additional storage or space for your boat or projects. The location is the best of both worlds: tucked away, but just 6 miles from downtown Traverse City. A solid, move-in-ready option with space to stretch out, inside and out.
