Easy, Old Mission living! Just 2 miles from the base of the Peninsula, this fabulous offering is all about the LOCATION. Close to world class wineries and culinary destinations, spectacular countryside and water views, the ever-popular Old Mission State Park, and numerous public beaches, this listing enjoys easy access to the very best of Peninsula Township. Seeking proximity to Traverse City? Here, you're just minutes from Munson Medical Center, the Denos Museum, Northwestern Michigan College, and an endless list of other downtown Traverse City amenities. This charming ranch is on a gently sloping parcel with a delightfully shady backyard, which backs up directly to Pelizzari Natural Area: a 62-acre preserve with hiking trails through former orchards and woodlands, right down to the shores of East Bay. Inside this 3 bed / 2 bath home, the main floor living area overlooks a new back deck toward the preserve beyond. A wood-burning fireplace anchors the main living space which flows into a delightful dining area and updated kitchen with granite counter-tops, ample storage, a built-in bench, and newer stainless-steel appliances. Three bedrooms and one full bath with new walk-in shower round out this functional main floor plan. Downstairs, the walkout basement is partially finished to include a second living room with built-in bookshelves, a non-conforming fourth bedroom, and a 3/4 bath. A brand new electric cedar sauna is an added bonus feature of this residence - enjoy a soothing sauna session in the privacy of your own home after hiking or cross country skiing on more than 3 miles of trails just outside your back door! This wonderful Old Mission listing is the best of many worlds - smart and easy - don't miss out on this opportunity! *Additional features include newer septic field (2018) and a newer AC unit.
