Quality construction, custom upgrades, and attention to detail is evident throughout this stunning 3 bed/2.5 bath brick home located in Incochee Woods! The bright and airy living room features gorgeous, refinished hardwood floors spanning nearly the entirety of the home, tons of natural light, and an eye-catching fireplace, expertly contrasting against custom-made, first-cut-fir, cherry barrel wood walls- invoking a cozy focal point steeped in local TC history. The recently remodeled island kitchen features stainless-steel appliances and range hood, 2 sinks, quartz countertops, eclectic handmade Italian backsplash, ample cherry cabinets, and bar seating, as well as a walk-in pantry. The adjoining dining area opens onto the secluded rear patio, and a lovely half bath and sizable designated laundry room round out the main level. The upper level features a full hallway bath and all 3 of the home's bedrooms, with the roomy Primary bedroom featuring an attached bathroom suite with en suite bath containing a double vanity and an oversized walk-in closet with an executive-level closet organization system. The Primary bedroom also connects to the above garage bonus room by way of a secret passage. The finished walkout lower level hosts a spacious exercise room with heated floors, ample storage space, and a luxurious cedar Finnish sauna complete with a Dutch door window showcasing the garden views beyond. The manicured .36-acre lot features a lovely rear patio with bay views, secluded by huge mature trees, as well a 2-car attached garage boasting a newly finished, 400+ SF heated, bonus room, currently utilized as artist studio space, but could make a great mother-in-law suite. This incredible home is just 1 mile from Traverse City's best amenities and is quickly walkable/bikeable to Grand Traverse Bay & TART Trail, GT Children's Museum, wineries/breweries, West End Beach, and Tom's Food Market!
