About This Home
Property Id: 2836491 Set at the end of a quiet, low-traffic cul-de-sac just 10 minutes from Traverse City, this 2,267 sq ft home offers 3 bedrooms, 3 full baths (one on each level), and far more usable space than the bedroom count suggests. Beautiful hickory hardwood floors run through the main living areas, and cathedral ceilings in the primary bedroom and main-floor office give both rooms an open, elevated feel. The main-floor office has a window over the backyard and makes working from home easy. A finished basement adds a den for a second office, plus a family/game room, and a bonus room that works well as a home gym or playroom. The 1.3-acre lot is where the home really stands out. Mature trees and the property's own apple orchard line the property, blocking view of neighbors, while the rear of the backyard opens up to rolling hills and farmland. The covered front porch is a cozy spot for morning coffee, and the back deck and fire pit are perfect for cool northern-Michigan evenings. The HOA neighborhood is well maintained and perfect for long walks. You're a short drive from the beaches, wineries, and downtown Traverse City. Additional features include a kitchen with a new fridge (not pictured), new range, microwave, and dishwasher, an attached 2-car garage, central air conditioning, gas heat, in-unit laundry, a fully irrigated yard, and a private well with no monthly water bill. Offered unfurnished on a 12-month lease, available December 1, with some flexibility on an earlier move-in. Trash removal and HOA fees included. The tenant pays electric, gas, & internet. Qualifications: household income 3x the rent, solid credit, a clear background and eviction history, and positive rental references. All adults 18+ apply and screen through TurboTenant. Space, privacy, and quiet this close to town is hard to find. Apply early if you're interested. View virtual tour and additional photos here:

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
