Wake up just across the road from Grand Traverse Bay, with beach access waiting just at the end of the sub, down the bluff, where morning coffee by the water becomes the ordinary way you start a day up here. Set on half an acre in a quiet Kewadin subdivision, this home puts you a short distance from some of the most sought-after water in Northern Michigan. Torch Lake access and its public boat launch sit less than a mile away, and the rest of the region falls easily into reach: Charlevoix twenty minutes north, Elk Rapids fifteen minutes south, and Traverse City about thirty minutes down the shoreline. You get the seclusion of a smaller community without losing a single thing you'd drive into town for. Inside, it's move-in ready with new engineered hardwood flooring throughout the lower level and the main level laundry room, newer stainless steel appliances, and new paint in the primary bedroom. A Culligan reverse osmosis system and water softener handle the water so you never have to think about it. Then there's the room to grow into. The unfinished loft is a blank slate, ready to become the office, the bunk room, the guest suite, or the storage you actually need. Downstairs, the lower level is set up to stand on its own, with plumbing already in place for a kitchen, plus a private walkout, its own driveway, and a garage. Finish it as a suite for family who visit often or a fully separate living space. The framework is already there, and the possibilities are close to endless. Half an acre, moments from the Bay, and a mile from Torch Lake, with this much flexibility built in, this is a home you won't want to leave.
