## Description

### Agent Description
Just four scenic miles from downtown Traverse City, this exceptional Old Mission Peninsula property presents a rare opportunity to own a beautifully maintained home with 103 feet of private East Bay frontage for under $1,000,000. Offering a beautiful shoreline with both sandy and natural rocky areas, remarkably clear turquoise water, and breathtaking sunrises, this is the only active Old Mission Peninsula property with private bay frontage below the million-dollar mark at the time of listing. Meticulously maintained, the 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath home offers more than 2,500 finished square feet designed to capture water views from nearly every room, featuring an inviting open floor plan centered around a striking walk-around fireplace, a relaxing sunroom, and thoughtfully designed indoor and outdoor living spaces perfect for entertaining, enjoying your morning coffee, or simply soaking in Northern Michigan's beauty throughout all four seasons. Situated on nearly an acre, additional highlights include a main-floor primary suite with a private bath, main-floor laundry, natural gas, an attached two-car garage with a workshop, 17 sections of dock, a 6,000-pound boat lift, and numerous updates completed by the current owners, allowing you to move in and immediately enjoy the Old Mission Peninsula waterfront lifestyle. Surrounded by wineries, orchards, parks, and everything that makes Old Mission Peninsula one of Northern Michigan's most desirable destinations, this is an opportunity you won't want to miss.
