Description

Recently remodeled studio/efficiency apartment in Traverse City with a smart layout, dedicated kitchen area, and private full bath. This unit is clean, bright, and easy to live in, featuring new vinyl plank flooring, fresh paint, updated lighting, and a functional kitchen with a breakfast bar. A standout feature for a studio is the walk-in closet, giving you real storage space without sacrificing the living area.

Location is a major perk here. You are just minutes from downtown Traverse City, with quick access to Front Street dining and shopping, the Bayfront, and the area's coffee shops, breweries, and everyday conveniences. Commuting and errands are simple with easy access to the main roads, and you are close to grocery, fitness, and the core amenities that make Traverse City easy to enjoy year-round.

Rent is $1,400/month and utilities are included, which makes budgeting simple and predictable. The unit is offered unfurnished. Tenants may also enjoy shared patio and green space outdoors. Guest parking is available, and long-term assigned off-street parking is available for an additional $50/month. Cats and small dogs are welcome. No smoking inside the unit, outdoor smoking permitted. Owner lives on-site, which helps keep the property maintained and responsive.

To apply, reply with your full name, move-in date, desired lease term, number of occupants, pets (if any), and a brief employment and income summary.
