Property Description
Classic Traverse City charm meets thoughtful, turnkey renovation in this beautifully updated ranch. Renovated in 2024, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath home offers timeless character with modern updates, all just minutes from downtown. The main level features beautiful real hardwood floors, two generous bedrooms, a full bath and a welcoming kitchen with granite countertops, a central island and cozy breakfast nook. The living room features a gas fireplace surrounded by built-in shelving, bringing warmth and a subtle Craftsman touch to the space. The walkout lower level offers exceptional additional living space with a second living area, bedroom, bath, laundry/storage and mudroom connecting directly to the rare two-stall attached garage. Abundant natural light and a finished, comfortable layout make this feel like true living space rather than a typical lower level. Outside, enjoy a spacious backyard, large level driveway and convenient alley access. Walk or bike the sidewalks to parks, restaurants, West Bay public access, coffee shops and downtown Traverse City within minutes. A unique opportunity to enjoy the convenience of city living with the character, updates and amenities that are so hard to find in a downtown neighborhood! Come experience this special home in person and see what makes it such a unique offering.
