About this home
Single Family · Built 1895 · Historic
Location matters. Just minutes from downtown Traverse City, this 4 bedroom, 3 full bathroom home blends charm with meaningful updates, giving you flexibility whether you're looking for a primary residence, investment property, or both. Inside, you'll find natural wood floors, a wood-burning fireplace, and a layout with defined spaces that allow for separate living areas. The home has been thoughtfully improved with major mechanical updates. 2021 updates include a new furnace, heat pump, and water heater. 2022 updates include plumbing, front windows, and sliding door. In 2020, the 'in-law suite' was taken down to the studs. This updated suite presents an opportunity to create rental income, or to utilize it as a guest space. Exterior improvements include gutters (2020) and a French drain system (2021). Enhance in-town livability and lifestyle with the fenced yard and covered porch. This is an opportunity to solidify your Traverse City property with updates in place and room to make it your own.
