1942 birchview

Situated on the scenic coast of Grand Traverse Bay, this waterfront property offers breathtaking sunset panoramas and a sandy shoreline that stretches over 91 feet. Stroll along the mulched path by the meandering brook or find solace in the enclosed three-season gazebo, which has electricity and a heater. The expansive perennial garden presents a continuous display of hydrangeas, boxwoods, hostas, lilies, butterfly bushes, and towering 12-foot grasses, providing ample privacy for the home. The wrap-around deck welcomes you inside, where the bay view captures almost every space on the main level. Discover a thoughtfully crafted kitchen designed by @Home Interiors, featuring a double oven, abundant cabinetry, and Petoskey Stone pulls. Two wood-burning fireplaces add warmth to the home, creating a cozy ambiance as you listen to the crackling fire while gazing at the incoming waves. The primary bedroom is conveniently located on the main level, while three additional bedrooms and a bathroom occupy the upper level. One of the upper-level bedrooms boasts additional bay views and a private balcony. The lower level underwent a renovation in 2024, providing a versatile flex space ideal for accommodating guests or pursuing hobbies. Additional features include motorized blinds by Douglas Hunter, an oversized garage with expansion potential for a bunk house on the upper level, a generator, 2015 doors and some windows replaced by Old Mission Windows, a 2016 septic system replacement, and ample storage space. These updates and the meticulous care of the homeowners are evident throughout the property. This rare opportunity offers the chance to create a life on the shores of Grand Traverse Bay.
