Nature and Serenity, Steps from Downtown Traverse City. On nearly three quarters of an acre bordering the open meadows and rolling terrain of Hickory Meadows, this 2022-built contemporary offers something almost impossible to find: a genuine sense of space and calm, blocks from downtown. A wall of windows at the entry frames the protected natural land beyond, filling the main level with light and long views, with custom electric blinds throughout for effortless control. The open main floor centers on a chef’s kitchen with walk-in pantry, flowing to a large composite deck positioned to take in the landscape. A dedicated home office, a den ideal for a main floor library (or second workstation), and an oversized mud room with built-in lockers and dog wash station handle daily life with ease. Upstairs, three bedrooms include a primary suite with heated tile floors and integrated sound, plus convenient second-floor laundry. The fully finished walkout lower level is a destination of its own: a spacious entertainment room with bar, plus a private guest suite with full bath. Out the back door, deeded access puts more than 200 acres of preserved recreation land at your doorstep. Hike or mountain bike Hickory Meadows in summer before strolling downtown for dinner, and in winter, ski Hickory Hills just down the street. West Bay beaches, Slabtown restaurants, and Munson Medical Center are all minutes away. This is the rare property where new construction quality, land, and location converge, and it will not wait.
