7222 S West Bayshore Drive

Grand Traverse Bay views, blooming gardens, and a peaceful location set the stage for this Up` North home. Whether it's a weekend retreat or everyday living, you'll feel welcome from the moment you arrive. Perfectly positioned between Traverse City and Suttons Bay, this well-cared-for home blends comfort and charm. While it carries the character of its era, it has been faithfully maintained. Oversized main-level windows brighten the space with views of the bay, setting a warm tone throughout the home. The partially finished lower level adds versatile space for a rec room or could be finished into a family room. A convenient half bath completes the area. Just off the main living area, an enclosed porch begins the transition between indoors and out--a quiet perch to enjoy morning coffee, read a book on rainy days, or watch the seasons change. Step outside, and the property takes on a magic of its own. The backyard has been transformed into a garden sanctuary, boasting flowering and fruit trees, perennials, and a dedicated garden area. A low-maintenance natural lawn makes upkeep simple, giving you more time to enjoy the space. A 10x10 heated greenhouse is ready for the gardener--or the one who longs to become one. And if gardening isn't your passion, the yard is just as enjoyable for evening bonfires, yard games, or simple relaxation. For added convenience, the porch furniture and outdoor furnishings can remain with the home. Practical updates offer peace of mind, including a new septic field installed in 2021 and a whole-house generator for when storms roll in. For beach lovers, Boughey Park is just a half mile away--perfect for swimming, building sandcastles, or enjoying a picnic. And when adventure calls, you're moments from wineries, breweries, beaches, hiking and biking on the TART Trail, and all the dining, shopping, and local flavor that Traverse City has to offer. Whether it's a retreat, a place to grow, or your next chapter, this home is ready for new memories.
