Blooming gardens and a peaceful setting welcome you to this inviting Up North home—perfect for a weekend retreat or everyday living. From the moment you arrive, there’s a sense of comfort and ease. Ideally located between Traverse City and Suttons Bay, this well-cared-for home blends timeless charm with thoughtful maintenance. Oversized main-level windows fill the living spaces with natural light and offer glimpses of the bay, while hardwood floors throughout the main level add warmth and timeless appeal—creating a welcoming atmosphere from the moment you step inside. The partially finished lower level adds flexible living space for a rec room, hobby area, or future family room, complete with a convenient half bath. An enclosed porch just off the main living area creates a gentle transition between indoors and out—a cozy spot for morning coffee, rainy-day reading, or watching the seasons change. Outside, the property truly shines. The backyard has been transformed into a peaceful garden sanctuary with flowering and fruit trees, established perennials, and a dedicated garden area. A low-maintenance natural lawn keeps upkeep simple, while a 10x10 heated greenhouse is ready for seasoned gardeners or those inspired to start something new. Even if gardening isn’t your passion, the yard is ideal for evening bonfires, yard games, or quiet relaxation. Porch furniture and outdoor furnishings may remain for added convenience. Practical updates provide peace of mind, including a new septic field installed in 2021 and a whole-house generator. Boughey Park beach is just half a mile away, and nearby wineries, breweries, the TART Trail, and all the dining and shopping of Traverse City are moments from your door. Whether you’re seeking a peaceful escape, a place to grow, or a home ready for its next chapter, this property is ready to welcome new memories.
