About this House

Welcome to 851 E Eighth Street! A charming 2-bedroom, 1-bath home in downtown Traverse City, just a few blocks from downtown Front Street, within the Eastern Elementary and Central school districts. Now offered at $314,900. With 1,064 square feet of living space, a flexible bonus room, and a huge private backyard, this home gives you room to live comfortably while putting everything downtown Traverse City has to offer right outside your door. The backyard is truly special. Stretching approximately 274 feet deep, the fully fenced lot offers an incredible amount of private outdoor space for entertaining, gardening, pets, kids, bikes, and all your Northern Michigan gear. A storage shed adds convenient space for bikes, beach equipment, and lawn tools. Inside, the layout is practical and comfortable: a main-floor bedroom, a second bedroom upstairs, separate living and dining rooms, a spacious kitchen with concrete countertops, and a large laundry/mudroom. The bonus room adds flexibility for a home office, guest space, playroom, or hobby room. Newer vinyl windows and low-maintenance vinyl siding round out the home's appeal. And then there's the location. Genuinely one of the best in Traverse City. The TART Trail is one block away. The beach is a half-mile walk, and Boardman Lake Loop is about three-quarters of a mile away. Downtown breweries — Filling Station, Tank Space, and Silver Spruce — are all within a safe and easy 5–15 minute walk, along with everyday shopping, dinner spots, and Potter's for fresh cookies. In the summer, you can leave the car parked for days at a time because everything you need is within easy walking or biking distance. With character, an exceptional backyard, and a truly walkable downtown location, 851 E Eighth Street is well worth a visit.
