About This Home

This 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom single family at 511 Birchwood Drive in Traverse City, MI is listed for $650,000 ($308 per sqft). Built in 1978, the home offers 2,113 sqft of living space on a 0.27 acres lot.

Agent Description

Perfectly positioned at the base of coveted Old Mission Peninsula, this updated 4 bedroom, 2.5 bathroom home offers one of the most desirable locations in all of Traverse City. Walkable to East Bay Park, Eastern Elementary School, and Traverse City Central High School, while also being just minutes from downtown Traverse City and everything Old Mis

sion Peninsula has to offer, the convenience and long term desirability here is difficult to replicate. Inside, the home has been extensively updated with functionality and comfort in mind. The renovated kitchen anchors the main living space while the layout offers open sight lines with more intentionally defined spaces, a floor plan design that is becoming increasingly desirable compared to fully open concepts.

Multiple living areas throughout the home provide flexibility for entertaining, relaxing, or working from home, including a standout solarium filled with natural light and year round usability. All bathrooms have been renovated including the private primary ensuite featuring a tiled glass surround shower and updated vanity.

Nearly every window throughout the home features high end motorized blinds adding both convenience and a clean modern finish. Outside, the fully landscaped and irrigated yard pairs perfectly with the Trex deck and hot tub creating a private outdoor setting that is difficult to find this close to town.

A rare unfinished lower level offers additional opportunity for future finished living space, storage, fitness area, or media room allowing the next owner flexibility to continue adding value over time. This is the type of location buyers wait for. Updated, move in ready, close to everything, and positioned in one of Traverse City’s most consistently desirable areas.
