Downtown, beaches, and parks, oh my!!! Taken to the studs and rebuilt, this is not a cosmetic flip; all work permitted and inspected. Roughly 85% of this classic Traverse City home was gutted between 2019 and 2022, then rebuilt with intention: all-new electrical (knob-and-tube fully removed), on-demand hot water, central air, and substantial new ductwork throughout. Hickory hardwood runs the open main level, where the kitchen anchors it all with high-gloss cabinetry, quartz counters, and a deep blue island seating six. A built-in microwave doubles as a convection oven, an iridescent tile rises to the hood, and floating oak shelves flank French doors to the deck. Custom built-ins separate the living and dining spaces, the latter under a beamed beadboard ceiling with a slider to the yard. An open-tread staircase with glass railings turns circulation into architecture, with a library nook tucked beneath. Every bedroom has its own bath and walk-in closet (two had no closet at all before, one is not an en suite). A combined bath-and-laundry suite with built-in shelving now replaces what were once three cramped main-floor rooms. Upstairs, the original oak floors have been restored after decades of carpet and paint. The primary suite occupies what used to be the attic: a vaulted ceiling, a linear fireplace, and French doors to a private balcony. Its spa bath features chevron-laid stone tile, a freestanding soaking tub in a four-window bay, a frameless glass shower with a ceiling rain panel and dual wall heads, dual vanities with art-glass vessel sinks, a heated towel rack, a private water closet, and a custom walk-in closet. Outside: a fenced yard, a tiled sports court with a hoop (tiles are removable if not needed), and a multi-level deck built for entertaining or unwinding by the fire pit. Raised garden beds sit near a pond fed by a natural spring: new siding, a new front deck, and a new roof over the addition round things out. Walkable to downtown Traverse City. No
