## Description

### Agent Description
At the base of Old Mission Peninsula, where the shoreline softens and East Bay opens wide, this 4-bedroom, 2-bath home settles naturally into its surroundings on nearly an acre of land, 85 feet of private frontage, and views that shift with the light from morning through dusk. Life here leans outward. Layered outdoor spaces create an easy rhythm for gathering, unwinding, and taking in the water-unforced, unhurried. Coffee at sunrise, long evenings with friends, the subtle soundtrack of waves in the background. It all feels as it should. Inside, the home reflects its 1925 roots; simple, grounded, and full of quiet character. Recent updates, including a new roof, updated boiler system, new carpet throughout, gutters, and steel insulated garage doors offer a solid foundation for what comes next, whether that’s enjoying it as it stands or shaping it over time. The location carries its own kind of balance. Traverse City sits just minutes away, close enough for dinner reservations, market runs, and marina days. Head north, and the peninsula unfolds with vineyards, farm stands, and winding roads that slow you down in the best way. East Shore Road itself is known for its quieter pace, where traffic fades and the bay remains in view. This is a place where the edges blur a bit between town and retreat, between everyday living and something that feels more considered. Homes like this don’t rely on explanation. The setting does the talking. Old Mission, at its most honest.
