7163 Traverse Avenue

Step onto the front porch with your morning coffee and you'll understand the pull of this beautifully renovated 1920 farmhouse in the Village of Benzonia. Six bedrooms and 3,466 total sq ft of historic charm — tall ceilings, original hardwood floors, and a cozy living room warmed by a wood-burning stove — blend seamlessly with an extensive top-to-bottom renovation and remodel completed in 2025. The main floor offers a private primary suite, office, spacious dining area for comfortable entertaining, and the numerous nooks and crannies that make living in a historic home so unique. Upstairs presents five additional bedrooms and a reading nook, along with fresh paint and new hallway carpet. Much of the work and updating has already been done, allowing you to enjoy the character and craftsmanship of an older home without taking on a long list of immediate renovation projects. Outside, the fenced yard offers garden space and full sun for your green thumb, along with an oversized attached two-car garage and storage shed. With no HOA, you have the freedom to enjoy and maintain the property on your terms. Walk to the library, ball fields, coffee shop, and dinner at the Roadhouse — or head out to Crystal Lake, the Betsie River, and the Heritage Trail. Lake Michigan sunsets are just minutes away. Move-in ready and thoughtfully updated, this is a rare opportunity to own a piece of Benzonia history with the character of original construction and the benefits of extensive modern improvements. Come see it for yourself.
