1392 Valley Drive

There’s something special about finding a home that gives you the privacy and slower pace of Northern Michigan living without putting you far from everything Traverse City has to offer. Tucked into a private hillside setting just six miles from downtown, this 2-bedroom, 1-bath ranch is an easy place to settle in and enjoy. New flooring and a new roof take care of some of the big-ticket updates, while the full unfinished basement gives you the flexibility to add more living space in the future. The best part may be what happens once you step outside. A large front deck overlooks the peaceful setting, and just beyond the home you’ll find 50 feet of shared sandy-bottom frontage on Silver Lake. Whether it’s a morning swim, an afternoon on the water, or simply having a place to enjoy a Northern Michigan summer, the lake adds a lifestyle component that’s hard to recreate. You can move in and enjoy the home as it is, then take your time deciding how you want to use the lower level. It’s a property that offers something valuable in both directions, a home you can enjoy today and the opportunity to make it your own over time, all within a short walk to useable waterfront and an easy drive to downtown Traverse City.
