221 Boardman Avenue Traverse City, MI 49684

This historic home has been thoughtfully renovated, retaining much of the original wood work, hardware, and 19th century charm while creating an open floor plan with fine, modern finishes. The stunning chef's kitchen and bath were designed by Michelle Cerny of Lakeview interior design with the goal of opening the spaces, bringing in more natural light and creating additional storage. The results are stunning. Cabinetry by Wolverine, luxury Cambria quarts tops, Cafe appliances by G.E., custom hutch and wine storage, brushed gold hardware, curated lighting and a classic farm sink create the kitchen dreams are made of. The space is now completely open through the dining and living rooms. The main floor primary suite is roomy and bright with a completely renovated bathroom. From the impressive foyer entrance, wander up the masterfully crafted staircase to three additional bedrooms and an office/craft space upstairs. One bedroom offers a convenient private stairway entrance from the east end of the home. The current owner also took care of many issues common with downtown homes. The sewer lines have been replaced, the Michigan basement has been insulated with spray foam to the sill plate, and the crawl space was lined with foam board. A whole house humidifier was added and a Mitsubishi split added comfort to the upstairs bedroom. The back yard has a private courtyard feel and the newer two car garage provides space to keep vehicles out of the weather. Just 1 1/2 blocks from Front Street, this is as close to downtown as you can get without feeling you're in a commercial district. The Boardman River and West Bay are visible at the end of the street and it's an easy stroll to all the most popular shops, restaurants, beaches and Clinch Marina.
