Description
Tucked into a prime Traverse City location, this sweet 3-bedroom, 1-bathroom ranch offers both move-in-ready comfort and exciting future possibilities. Situated on a .22-acre city lot with exclusive alley access shared by just 10 lots, this home is just blocks from local cafes, a bakery, grocery stores, and restaurants—all in a highly walkable neighborhood with sidewalks connecting you to everything. Inside, you'll find new flooring throughout and a renovated bathroom, creating a fresh and inviting space. The unfinished basement is a blank canvas, ready for additional living space, a home office, or a recreation room. Additionally, the zoning flexibility of this property allows for a garage or an additional dwelling, giving the next owner the potential to create a rental space, guest quarters, or a private studio. Plus, with quick access to the TART Trail, walking or biking around town—or straight to Grand Traverse Bay—is effortless. Schedule a showing today and experience the best of Traverse City living! Seller will be reviewing offers on Monday, March 17th after 4pm.

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWe could not be happier with our time at Traverse Heights, how lucky are we that the neighborhood school is so incredible! The support is unending, the entire staff truly does everything they can to make sure that every students feels loved and safe. There is SUCH school pride, and an amazing "House" system, similar to the Harry Potter books ( but no Slytherins!). Everyone at the school, from pre K to the lunch ladies are apart of a house and it has helped create relationships that go beyond the classroom. I know that my son is being prepared for the the future and not just academically, although the accommodations for both advanced learners and those that take their time is there. They truly look at the whole person and use tools and tricks to ready our tiny humans to be empathetic, caring, curious individuals. Go Roadrunners!Parent Review3y ago
