A home with history, heart, and room to grow – just minutes from downtown Traverse City. Nestled on the south side of Traverse City, this 1.5-story gem offers the perfect blend of character, comfort, and location. With roots reaching back to the late 1800s, the home carries a sense of history and warmth—beautifully maintained and thoughtfully updated for modern living. Though it's close to all the energy of Traverse City, this property feels like a quiet oasis tucked away from the downtown rush. The fully fenced backyard is ready for play, peace, and possibility—ideal for both two- and four-legged family members. A well-placed shed adds convenient storage for tools, gear, or hobbies, keeping everything tidy and close at hand. Inside, the space is equally inviting. One of the bedrooms currently makes an excellent office space and the finished lower level includes a 6-foot tall carpeted basement—perfect for a creative workspace, home gym, or cozy hangout zone. It's flexible, functional, and full of potential. The main level layout is comfortable and intuitive, offering an easy flow between rooms and out to the showstopper: a 36x34 deck and patio area, perfect for entertaining or relaxing under the stars. While the home itself is a treasure, its location might be the biggest gift. You're just minutes from downtown Traverse City, beautiful public beaches, the Tart Trail, and beloved local restaurants. The Cherry Festival is right around the corner, and from this charming home, you can stroll down and join the fun with ease. Whether you're starting fresh, scaling down, or simply searching for a place that feels just right, this home offers a rare balance: grounded, modest, and full of heart. A quiet slice of history—close to everything that makes Traverse City so special.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
