This is a “must see to believe” property. Located just 4 miles from Traverse City, this demure ranch opens up to more than 3,400 square feet of living space with 5 bedrooms, 3 baths, and a deeded lot across the street with 125' of private sandy waterfront on West Bay. Spend summer afternoons soaking in the sun, and retreat back up to the house for an evening meal prepped in the chef’s kitchen, complete with Wolf cooktop, convection double ovens, and a view that certainly takes the edge off of doing dishes. Family and friends will never feel unwelcome in this home - with an entire living area, secondary kitchenette, and two spacious bedrooms in the lower level, you might even forget they’re visiting! The primary suite is a spacious and private retreat all on it’s own; a spa tub, gracious walk-in closet and gas fireplace make this home a place any owner will find cozy, warm and inviting in all seasons. The essential Northern Michigan summer toys will be safe and warm through the winter, too - the double deep, drive-through garage leads to a secondary 1-car garage in the backyard with the perfect space for kayaks, paddle boards, bikes and more... This home and location captures it all!
