At the base of the highly sought-after Old Mission Peninsula, in the coveted Franklin Woods subdivision, you’ll find 80 feet of private West Bay frontage facing due west—perfect for soaking in spectacular sunsets, air shows, fireworks, and all four seasons. Franklin Woods is a neighborhood where community truly matters, featuring shared community land and time-honored traditions, such as a neighborhood Easter egg hunt and other gatherings like trick-or-treating, bringing neighbors together year after year. Built in 1968, this home is rich in character and charm, offering plenty of opportunities to customize it to your liking. Few places can say they have been lovingly owned and cared for by the same family since its construction, and now it stands ready for its next chapter. The home boasts nearly 2, 000 finished square feet, a full unfinished basement, four bedrooms, and 2.5 bathrooms, including a private primary suite. Situated on not one, but two lots, it provides additional privacy, surrounded by mature hardwoods and a peaceful, nature-filled backdrop. All of this just a stones throw from downtown Traverse City and a quick bike ride or an enjoyable walk to Bryant Park, Traverse City Central, and everything the city has to offer. A rare blend of waterfront living, community connection, and unmatched location.
