Tucked into a wooded .94-acre lot in scenic Elmwood Township, this 5BR/2.5BA ranch-style home offers space, privacy, and exceptional flexibility—all just a short drive from downtown Traverse City. With approximately 1,600 square feet of total finished living space and a detached 2-car garage that includes an office, there’s plenty of room to settle in and stretch out. Zoned R2 (Residential – Two Families), this property has already proven its potential. The lower level has operated as a successful Airbnb, while the main level has been rented long-term. The Airbnb is fully furnished and ready to rent. Whether you’re planning to live on one floor and rent the other, build or expand your investment portfolio, or simply enjoy a flexible layout, this home offers outstanding options. Nature lovers will appreciate the backyard path to the Leelanau Trail—head north for a ride to Suttons Bay, or go south for a quick trip into Traverse City. Plus, downtown TC is just minutes away.

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listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.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.
