A large walk-through closet, fitted with built-in shelving and storage, leads into a spa-like en-suite: tiled shower with glass surround, heated floors, dual vanities, and a private water closet. Six bedrooms fill out the home in total, each oversized, with one currently serving as an office that converts easily back to a bedroom. The walkout lower level shifts the mood entirely. A dedicated space houses an in-home movie theater, a wet bar, a spacious game room, and an in-home sauna, opening directly onto the pool deck below, built for the kind of gathering that lasts all night. The three-stall attached garage covers what a home like this still needs to be practical. The address does more than sit two miles from downtown: Garfield Township offers the same convenience without the property tax burden that comes with city limits. This is what people picture when they say showstopper.

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.
