1200 River Dr, Traverse City, MI 49696

This property was designed to fully enjoy river living. A generation ago, the broad open riverside yard was the family's horse pasture and now provides outstanding views and enjoyment of the Boardman. The well designed and impeccably maintained home offers large rooms and living spaces, including a sizeable laundry right off the heated garage with epoxy floors. The kitchen boasts plenty of cabinet space and countertop room adjacent to the riverside dining room. A spacious living area also brings the river inside with wonderful views across the yard. A large main floor bedroom is currently being purposed as a sewing room but would be perfect as a bedroom for someone looking to avoid stairs. Three other bedrooms are upstairs, two of which share a Jack and Jill bathroom. A detached garage provides work shop space and storage for toys and equipment. A charming sauna is a great way to warm up after a cold dip in the river. There's even a well appointed outhouse that gets a lot of use with so much time being spent outside. The property is the true showpiece here with 5 acres and 642' of frontage on both sides of the river. Trees planted a generation ago now provide a spectacular canopy of shade over the yard and along the river bank. Multiple seating areas along the river will make it tough to go inside at the end of the day. Just two miles from Chum's Corners and a few more to downtown put you within easy reach of Traverse City's amenities. Fishing and paddling are world class on The Boardman with a steady but easily navigated flow and cold clean water all year long.
