Slabtown homes don't turn over often, and a true two-residence property here turns over even less. This is a rare opportunity to let a second residence help offset the mortgage while putting you in one of Traverse City’s most walkable, sought after locations. The neighborhood lives up to the reputation, with multiple parks, the TART Trail and a beach just blocks away. Local staples like Slabtown Burgers, Tom's Food Markets, and Dairy Lodge are all within easy reach, so plenty of errands turn into a walk instead of a drive. The home offers two distinct living spaces, each with its own entrance, kitchen, and bath. Use the secondary living quarters as a rental to help offset the mortgage, create a comfortable mother-in-law suite, give adult kids their own space when they move back home, accommodate a caretaker, host long-term guests, or simply keep a separate space for work or hobbies. The main home features refinished hardwood floors and an updated bathroom, while the three-stall garage brings serious utility, including one bay with a raised door built for a boat. A large concrete parking pad alongside the garage provides even more room for vehicles or a trailer. Out back, a generous yard framed by mature trees leads to a patio to catch the afternoon sun. There’s plenty of room to spread out, entertain, garden, or simply enjoy having outdoor space of your own. Income, family, guests, caregiving, or just more room to live, this is a property that can evolve with you. In a neighborhood where opportunities like this rarely come along, the flexibility is already built in. This is Slabtown living, ready for its next owner.
