2593 Nelson Rd, Traverse City, MI 49686

A drive onto the Old Mission Peninsula's Center Road shows why this area is one of the most popular vacation destinations in Michigan and sought after places to live. The beauty of rolling hills, dotted with orchards and vineyards, flanked by the indigo waters of the East and West Grand Traverse Bays. At about the seven mile mark there's a high vista wherein there's a panoramic turnoff that affords a 360 degree view of all of this, and just south of there is scenic Nelson Road, home to just a handful of homes and mostly mature and emerging grape vines. This "Not too Big" style ranch home, has classic "hip" rooflines, main level with an open dining/kitchen/living element, generous master bedroom and secondary bedroom, Ikea accented full bathroom, wood burning fireplace with raised, slate hearth, and space for pantry or office. Lower walk out level has spacious family room with second fire place (currently with wood stove insert) and enough area to create an additional office/studio or sleeping space, third non-conforming bedroom, large mechanical/laundry with utility sink, and stylish half bath. Newer upgrades include carpet, boiler, natural gas, bathrooms, foyer entry door, overhead garage door, lighting. Outside there's a circle drive, established garden area, mature trees, and winding pathway to the north where there's a small meandering creek. All these features create a magical setting in between Chateau Grand Traverse Winery and the future Bonobo Winery, beauty to rival California's Napa and Sonoma counties!
