Rarely does a property on Old Mission Peninsula offer this combination of privacy, acreage, panoramic views, and private waterfront. Set on 1.6 secluded acres surrounded by mature hardwoods, this home enjoys sweeping sunset views over West Grand Traverse Bay and Power Island while offering 60 feet of coveted private sugar-sand frontage"”all just minutes from downtown Traverse City. Sited to take full advantage of its commanding elevation and western exposure, expansive walls of glass invite natural light while framing the ever-changing beauty of the bay. The home was designed not simply to overlook the landscape, but to live within it. The completed main and upper levels have been meticulously reimagined through a comprehensive renovation rooted in quiet, intentional design. A restrained material palette and subtle architectural detailing"”including trimless openings and unlacquered brass hardware"”create an interior of quiet sophistication that never distracts from the home's extraordinary setting. A spacious new waterside deck extends the living space outdoors. The main-level primary suite enjoys forest and water views and a spa-inspired bath, while the loft offers flexibility for easy conversion into two separate rooms. The walkout lower level, anchored by a striking floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, remains unfinished, offering an exceptional opportunity to create additional living space, guest accommodations, a wellness studio, wine cellar, or media room. Below the home, private sugar-sand frontage and a waterfront deck invite swimming, boating, paddleboarding, and unforgettable sunsets on West Grand Traverse Bay. Properties that unite an extraordinary setting with thoughtful architecture are seldom available. This is one of them.
