## Description

### Agent Description
Offering flexibility for year-round living, a Northern Michigan getaway, or something in between, this home puts one of Traverse City's most desirable destinations within reach. Enjoy 390 feet of shared East Grand Traverse Bay frontage where kayak, paddle boarding, jet skis, boats and beach fun are all options. The thoughtfully designed split-level floor plan creates a natural separation between living spaces, offering both connection and privacy throughout the home. Spend summer days along the sandy-bottom, crystal-clear waters of East Bay, then come home to the privacy of a quiet cul-de-sac surrounded by mature trees. Evenings are made for gathering around the fire pit, soaking in the hot tub, and enjoying the peaceful setting that makes life on the Peninsula feel like a retreat. Inside, thoughtful improvements make the home easy to step into and enjoy. Within the last four years, updates include a new furnace, air conditioning, hot water heater, kitchen appliances, LeafGuard gutters, fencing, and more. Beyond the property itself, you're surrounded by the wineries, beaches, trails, and natural beauty that define Old Mission Peninsula, while remaining convenient to Traverse City. The location also provides easy access to Old Mission Peninsula School, Eastern Elementary, Traverse City Central High School, and Northwestern Michigan College. The owners are ready to hand this special property over to its next chapter-bringing together waterfront access, privacy, location, and lifestyle in a way that's increasingly difficult to find.
