This 4 bedroom home is right where you want it: in a quiet, established neighborhood, on a mature wooded lot in Garfield Township, 1 mile from the Traverse City Limits & ready to move into. This is a 1-owner home that has always been smoke-free. I helped build it in 1979 and raised my 3 children here. I can attest to the loving care and maintenance it has received over the years.  

ALL THIS IS LESS THAN 5 YEARS OLD: Kitchen (including stove & microwave-hood,) carpeting in bedrooms, roof, furnace with an ultraviolet air purifier, hot water heater, windows & entry doors, siding, (with an extra layer of Turmax insulation to keep heating & cooling bills down), garage door, & stone facing on the foundation & chimney. The deep 4 inch on-site well is only 5 years old. It has some minerals so I added a water softener for dishes, bathing, & laundry. We are connected to Traverse Citys trouble-free Sanitary Sewer System. The 20 x 20 wood deck with large flower boxes is perfect for even large summer gatherings with plenty of sun or muted shade depending on where you sit. The underground sprinkler system assures your lawn will always look great. 

 
I don't think I can tell you how convenient this house is to everything in town. You are minutes from downtown, the mall, the airport, Lake Michigans endless beaches, exciting recreation & entertainment. Convenience continues to the inside of this lovely home. The cathedral ceiling in the living & dining rooms makes it open, airy, & light, a comfortable place to be. The 4 year old central air conditioning brings perfection on hot summer nights when the breeze fails to cool you down enough. And in winter, enjoy the fully finished lower level with large built in bookshelves & woodstove to keep you nice & toasty.  

The solid oak floors through most of the upstairs made easy maintenance & controlled allergens. We have been blessed to be part of a wonderful neighborhood where people have helped & watched out for each other over the years. Few people leave this wonderful neighborhood but it is time for me to move on and find a family who would give this wonderful home the love and care it has been accustomed to. In return it will bring the new owners great comfort & joy.

Originally appraised at $237.000. Priced to sell at $179.000!!!
