This is not a typical ‚Å“big house.‚  Its a property designed for people who regularly host, gather, or need space that actually works under pressure. With over 5,500 square feet across three levels, the scale isnt just about size. Its about how the home actually functions day to day. Large groups can gather without crowding, while multiple living areas allow people to spread out without disconnecting. Conveniently located near schools, shopping, and Downtown Traverse City, this home sits within the sought-after Heritage Estates. The kitchen is positioned at the center of that design. Not just oversized, but built for real use. Between the island, breakfast bars, dining area, and nook, hosting 15-20 people feels natural, not forced. The layout supports flexibility: Six bedrooms plus a den, study, or a bonus bedroom Multiple gathering spaces across three levels Main-level and lower-level living areas, both with gas fireplaces Walkout lower level that functions as a separate hangout zone Additional rooms that can flex for office, fitness, or guest overflow Upstairs, the primary suite is set apart for privacy and includes a walk-in wardrobe. Additional bedrooms are positioned for family or long-term guests, while the lower level adds two more conforming bedrooms, supporting extended stays or multi-generational use. Outside is where the property continues to separate itself. The terraced backyard creates defined outdoor spaces overlooking undeveloped land, adding privacy without isolation. The recently added private pool changes how the home is used in the warmer months, turning the outdoor space into a true extension of the living areas. Between the pool, putting green, and expansive deck, the property is built for full-day use, not just occasional entertaining. Additional features include maple flooring, cherry cabinetry, Corian counters, central air, and a functional mudroom/laundry setup off the garage.
