Port of Old Mission Condo, Traverse City.

OPEN SAT., 8/31, 12-2 PM. 6592 Mission Ridge, Traverse City. Enjoy carefree condo living in Port of Old Mission, two miles north of US-31 (aka East Front Street) via M-37 on the peninsula. Old Mission Peninsula divides West Grand Traverse and East Grand Traverse bays and offers a scenic, rolling landscape of farmland, vineyards, wineries, multiple bay views and park-like shorelines. The historic Mission Point Lighthouse at its tip, with a gift shop and trails, is a favorite destination.

This delightful two-level, 2+ bedroom, 2.5-bath unit is air conditioned, and the sunny yard is bordered by woods for privacy. Park your vehicle in the attached, oversized, one-car garage and store your motor toys in the detached 24’ x 14’ garage.

The main level of the 2,700+ square-foot condo features the living area with a vaulted ceiling and a cozy fireplace with a brick hearth. Also on this level are the primary bedroom with a private bath and a custom walk-in closet; the well-lit kitchen with updated appliances, plentiful cupboards and peninsula seating; and an open dining area with sliding glass doors to the upper deck. Here, you can sit outside among the treetops and enjoy the distant view. The views from inside are wooded, yet there is natural light from a well-placed living room skylight and sunshine through the windows. Flooring includes updated wood in the living and dining rooms and Italian tile in the kitchen and laundry/mudroom. The latter features more cupboards and closet space, too.

In the finished, walkout, lower level you will find a second escape – a family room with a gas fireplace able to heat the entire condo in a pinch. This level also includes an additional guest bedroom with two closets and a third nonconforming bedroom with a walk-in closet. Transform a finished storage area into a workshop, studio or craft room. Another storage area in the utility room helps you keep your work spaces tidy.

Need more reasons to take a second look? How about the new A/C, low utility costs, a beautiful Old Mission Peninsula location, and the short drive to Traverse City amenities. See many more photos HERE
