Property Description

Some properties simply offer a beautiful home, others offer a way of life. Set on 1.67 acres of private, beautifully positioned land, this exceptional Traverse City property offers an uncommon blend of expansive water views, generous living spaces, extraordinary storage, and a sense of privacy rarely found so close to downtown Traverse City. From nearly every room, windows frame views toward Power Island and the surrounding waters, bringing Northern Michigan’s natural beauty into the home. Just one mile from the water and approximately two miles from downtown Traverse City, the setting feels wonderfully secluded while remaining remarkably convenient. Designed with an emphasis on both elegance and livability, the main level provides true one-level living, with a spacious primary en-suite and a dedicated home office. The vaulted living room creates an inviting sense of volume and light, anchored by a fireplace and surrounded by views. At the heart of the home, the expansive kitchen is equally suited to intimate mornings and memorable gatherings, featuring double islands, abundant cabinetry, and generous workspace. The adjoining dining room is wrapped in windows, creating an extraordinary setting for everything from casual dinners to holiday entertaining—with the landscape serving as the backdrop. The walkout lower level extends the living experience with full daylight windows and abundant natural light, offering two additional bedrooms, a study, and a spacious living room with its own fireplace. A private sauna adds another layer of comfort, creating the perfect place to unwind after a day on the water, trails, or slopes. The property’s garage and storage accommodations are exceptional. An oversized attached 43' x 24' three-car garage is complemented by a separate 30' x 26' detached garage with oversized doors, providing substantial room for vehicles, boats, recreational equipment, and workshop space. Enjoy the best of both worlds-secluded serenity just mins from town
