Charming, updated, and tucked into the Kids Creek neighborhood near the Grand Traverse Commons, this 2-bedroom, 1-bath Cape Cod packs a lot into a great Traverse City location. Inside you’ll find refinished hardwood floors, an updated kitchen with custom cabinetry, solid-surface countertops, farmhouse sink, subway tile, and stainless steel appliances, plus two nicely sized bedrooms and an updated full bath with heated tile floors upstairs. This home provides a layout that focuses on ease of living, low maintenance, and stress free entertaining. Step outside to a surprisingly expansive backyard, fully fenced and bursting with character: a raspberry patch, native wildflowers, a dedicated garden area, and raised beds, all with Kids Creek flowing just beyond the fence line. It's a rare amount of space this close to downtown, with the potential to become your own downtown oasis, whether that means expanding the gardens, adding a fire pit and seating area, or simply soaking in the sound of the creek. Beyond the yard, you're just steps from Hickory Hills and its network of trails, with Munson Medical Center, downtown Traverse City, and West Bay all just a short drive away. A really cute home with a backyard that feels like its own private retreat, all in a location that makes getting around town effortless.
