Perched high among the hardwoods near the base of Old Mission Peninsula, this custom-built 2014 home offers a rare combination of modern design, exceptional craftsmanship, and an unbeatable location. Throughout the cooler months, enjoy sweeping seasonal views of West Bay. As the trees leaf out, the landscape transforms into a secluded woodland retreat, creating the feeling of living in your own private treehouse surrounded by nature. Designed with today's active family in mind, the home features 4+ bedrooms plus a versatile office with a charming loft and reading nook that could easily serve as a fifth bedroom or creative space. Multiple living areas, including two spacious family rooms and a dedicated fitness room (that could be another bedroom as well) provide flexibility for gathering, working, and relaxing. At the heart of the home, the thoughtfully designed kitchen overlooks the peaceful wooded setting and features an inviting built-in window bench stretching wall to wall—an ideal spot for morning coffee, conversation, homework, or simply enjoying the changing seasons while dinner is being prepared. Everyday living is effortless thanks to the expansive mudroom complete with abundant cubbies and storage for backpacks, boots, sports gear, and everything an Up North lifestyle requires. Step outside and discover a backyard unlike any other, where mature trees create a private oasis complete with a zip line that will delight both kids and the young at heart. Whether entertaining friends or unwinding after a busy day, the setting offers a sense of tranquility that's difficult to find so close to town. Located just minutes from downtown Traverse City at the gateway to Old Mission Peninsula, you'll enjoy quick access to beaches, bike trails, and scenic drives while remaining close to everyday conveniences. Bryant Park is nearby with beautiful waterfront recreation as well as restaurants, shopping, and entertainment all within easy reach.
