About this home

Charm, character, and years of thoughtful updates come together in this 3-bedroom, 1-bath Cape Cod on a corner lot in one of Traverse City's most walkable neighborhoods. Mature maples, a white arbor entry, and a deck wrapping the back of the home set the scene, with downtown, Munson Medical Center, and the bay an easy walk or bike ride away. Hardwood floors run through the bright, open living and dining areas, connected to the kitchen by a breakfast bar. The kitchen features refinished original hardwood, a butcher-block island, a new LG gas range, microwave, and dishwasher (2025), and fresh paint and wallpaper (2024). The main-floor primary bedroom was refreshed in 2025 with reclaimed hardwood, new windows, and a French door slider opening onto the deck. A second main-floor bedroom with new windows, a laundry room with refinished original hardwood, and a fully remodeled bath (2022) with subway and herringbone tile complete the level. Upstairs, new flooring and paint (2025) extend into the third bedroom, with its closets and built-in drawers, and into a bonus room with built-in shelving, ideal for an office or studio. The partially finished basement (2018-2019) offers a rustic-modern rec room with stone accents, built-in shelving, and a wet bar, plus a flex area and mechanical room. Central air (2018) and electrical updates throughout (2018-2026) round out a move-in-ready home in a location that's hard to beat.
