Traverse City - MLS# 479037
Old Mission Stunner. Perched high atop a private hilltop, where sky meets water, this extraordinary 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath residence captures sweeping, cinematic views of East Grand Traverse Bay—offering a lifestyle defined by tranquility, elegance, and the unmistakable charm of Northern Michigan. From the moment you arrive, the setting feels almost storybook… winding roads, rolling hills, and a sense that you’ve discovered something truly special. With shared beachfront access and just moments from Old Mission’s celebrated wineries, scenic trails, pristine beaches, iconic lighthouse, and vibrant dining—yet only minutes to downtown Traverse City—this is where convenience and escape live in perfect harmony. Reimagined and rebuilt down to the studs in 2017, every inch of this home reflects thoughtful design and uncompromising quality. Sunlight pours through expansive Pella windows, illuminating soaring vaulted ceilings and an open-concept living space crafted for both intimate moments and effortless entertaining. The chef’s kitchen is a centerpiece—featuring natural quartzite surfaces, a generous island, Thermador appliances, Electrolux refrigeration, wine cooler, and custom finishes that elevate everyday living. A true highlight awaits in the main-level guest suite—an inspired recreation of a 5-star suite at the Ritz-Carlton Montreal—offering guests an experience that feels indulgent, refined, and unforgettable. Comfort continues throughout with heated bathroom floors, Kohler fixtures, Baldwin hardware, main suite laundry, a whole-house Kohler generator, and a heated, insulated 2-car garage with matching storage shed. Outdoors, the experience deepens. An IPE hardwood deck and custom stone patio lead to a private wellness retreat—complete with enclosed infrared sauna terrace and hot tub—creating a serene space to unwind beneath northern skies. Thoughtful landscaping, Michigan river rock, mature plantings, Hunter irrigation, and an invisible fence provide beauty and ease.
