Property Description

Rarely does a property on Old Mission Peninsula offer this exceptional combination of privacy, elevated views, thoughtful design, and private West Bay frontage. Set on 1.6 secluded acres surrounded by mature hardwoods, this beautifully reimagined home captures sweeping western views of West Bay and Power Island, unforgettable sunsets, and a peaceful setting just minutes from downtown Traverse City. Renovated with careful attention to its natural surroundings, the home features Sierra Pacific windows and doors that frame the water views, wide plank white oak flooring, and refined finishes throughout. The living room offers a gas fireplace and stunning bay vistas, while the kitchen is anchored by a large island with a waterfall quartzite countertop and is equipped with a double convection oven, induction cooktop, and hood vent. The main-level primary suite overlooks both woods and water and opens directly to the cedar deck, creating a private retreat for morning coffee and quiet evenings. Its spa-inspired bath includes radiant in-floor heat, a soaking tub, and a spacious walk-in shower. Upstairs, a second bedroom with en suite bath provides comfortable accommodations for guests. A generous cedar deck extends the living space outdoors and makes the most of the home’s western exposure, ideal for entertaining, dining, and taking in dramatic sunsets over West Bay. The walkout lower level is anchored by a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace and remains partially unfinished, offering endless potential for additional living space, guest quarters, a wellness studio, wine cellar, or media room. At the water’s edge, a new composite deck and stairs lead to private sandy shoreline, perfect for swimming, paddle boarding, and boating. With its rare setting, quality materials, extensive updates, and ideal location, this is an opportunity to move in and immediately enjoy the best of Old Mission Peninsula.
