138 E 16th Street

Welcome to your perfect investment opportunity in the SOFO district of Traverse City! This home started its life in 1947 as a cottage for what was just a lakeside city. Now Traverse City has bloomed to a food-city, brew-city, beach-city mecca! In fact, from this location SOuth of FOurteenth St - hence the SOFO label - you are within walking distance to Right Brain Brewery and the Traverse City Whiskey Company. For outdoor enthusiasts there is Hull Park and the Boardman Lake Trail Loop! The attic was finished to create an additional living space and is included in the tax assessment even though it is non-conforming. The original knotty pine is all still there. Most of the home needs considerable restoration. A huge covered porch area could be transformed into an amazing outdoor living space. Even the garage was converted into a seasonal living space (think: studio!). Beyond that is the remainder of the .23 acre yard for more living and parking space off the alley.
