Set alongside historic cobblestone-laid Eighth St. in the storied Central Neighborhood of Traverse City is this stately yet comfortable home, a shining example of the Victorian-style homes built when this beautiful city was founded. Graced with original woodwork throughout from the molding and doors to the lovely staircase, this home has retained characteristics from it's history while welcoming modern updates. Highlights include a wood-burning fireplace in the living room, a large formal dining room for entertaining, an abundance of cabinet space and a breakfast nook in the kitchen, a built-in storage cabinet and drawers in the spacious upstairs landing, central air, and much more. The large unfinished attic space is ideal for storage. The gem of this property is truly the covered front porch - the perfect spot for morning coffee or evening cocktails. Additional exterior features include underground irrigation, beautiful perennial landscaping, a fenced backyard, and a detached garage off the alley. Located only 1.5 blocks from Central Grade - it's a short walk to school, not to mention all the happenings of downtown Traverse City, from festivals and parades to dining, shopping, beaches and boating.
