Einfamilienhaus In Traverse City

8871 Birchview Drive | Traverse City – Where East Grand Traverse Bay becomes your backyard. Set on a half-acre in Birchview Shores, this 2018 residence offers 100 feet of private, sandy-bottom frontage on one of Northern Michigan’s most sought-after all-sports waters. Sweeping bay views greet you the moment you step inside. The story of this home begins at the upper-level foyer, where the first glimpse of the bay sets the tone for what’s to come. Here, the primary suite is a private retreat, complete with a walk-in closet and en-suite bath, joined by more bedrooms and baths for family and guests. Descend to the main level and the home opens up. Vaulted ceilings rise overhead, floor-to-ceiling windows frame the bay like a living painting, and a living, dining, and kitchen space nearly 22 feet wide unfolds before you. At its heart, a large center island invites everyone to gather while the gas fireplace sets a warm glow on cool Northern Michigan evenings. Light pours in from every angle, and the entire space flows out to the patio and down to the water’s edge. A flexible bonus room offers a den, media room, or quiet perch to watch the light change over the bay, while a main-level bedroom gives guests their own retreat just steps from the shoreline. With five bedrooms and five baths, including three en-suite bedrooms, this is a home made for family and friends: long summer weekends, sunset dinners on the patio, and private space for everyone to gather and stay. Spend your days minutes from the Petobego sandbar, the horse show, luxury golf, and the shops and dining of Elk Rapids. Clad in low-maintenance cement board and paired with a detached two-car garage, this is refined East Bay waterfront living, ready to welcome you home.
