Traverse City - MLS# 479037

Live the Old Mission Peninsula dream—without the $2 million waterfront price tag. Perched above East Grand Traverse Bay amid rolling vineyards and award-winning wineries, this beautifully renovated retreat offers an increasingly rare opportunity: the Old Mission lifestyle at an attainable price. Completely rebuilt down to the studs in 2017, the home blends timeless Up North charm with modern luxury and thoughtful craftsmanship. The chef's kitchen features Thermador appliances, quartzite countertops, custom cabinetry, and a large island designed for gathering. Expansive Pella windows flood the home with natural light while capturing beautiful bay views. Heated bathroom floors, premium finishes, and carefully curated living spaces create an atmosphere that is both elegant and inviting. Outdoor living shines with an expansive ipe deck, infrared sauna, Viking hot tub, stone patio, and professionally landscaped grounds. Whether entertaining guests or enjoying a quiet evening, every space embraces the beauty of Northern Michigan. A standout feature is the property's shared East Grand Traverse Bay frontage, offering the potential for a dock, boat slip, or mooring buoy. Enjoy many of the benefits of waterfront ownership without the multi-million-dollar price tag. Spend the day boating, exploring hidden coves, waterfront restaurants, and pristine beaches before returning home for an unforgettable sunset. Located just minutes from downtown Traverse City, you'll enjoy easy access to wineries, farm markets, championship golf, waterfront parks, cycling, dining, and year-round recreation. Additional features include a whole-house Kohler generator, heated and insulated garage, irrigation system, premium mechanicals, and low annual association dues. More than a home, this is an invitation to one of Michigan's most sought-after lifestyles—where luxury isn't measured by the price of the waterfront, but by the life you get to live beside it.
