Understated elegance abounds in this new-build by Wheelhouse Construction! The architecture & finishes fall into the vein of ‚Å“transitional‚  design - a rare find in Traverse City & exciting departure from more traditional styles. Earthy tones & materials bring warmth & character to every space, with plenty of natural light afforded by the numerous oversized windows. The exterior with dark LP siding & cedar accent around the entryway creates an impactful first impression. Inside the home, the custom steel floating staircase stands as a stunning focal point. Engineered white oak flooring throughout the main level. The house lends itself to entertaining, with an open concept kitchen/dining space & a 12 long kitchen island. The kitchen is a chefs dream, with plentiful counter space, quartz counters, a large butlers pantry, & top of the line appliances (Zline range, Bosch refrigerator & dishwasher). The kitchen flows into the open living/dining area where there is a gas fireplace with floor to ceiling tiled surround. Tucked away down a hallway is the spacious & light-filled primary suite with walk-in closet and spa-like bathroom. Convenient main floor laundry near primary suite. Upstairs is an open landing area that would lend itself well to an office or reading nook space, in addition to two guest bedrooms and a full bathroom. The unfinished lower level provides ample storage space, or could be finished out for additional living space (egress window in place allows for the addition of a 4th bedroom). All of this located just 3 miles from downtown Traverse City & one mile from the nearest TART Trail access point. Multiple public beaches & boat launches located in close proximity, including West End Beach and Cedar Lake boat launch. This is a can't-miss option for the discerning buyer with an eye for clean lines & standout design! Builder will donate $1 for every finished sq.ft. to a local charity of the buyer's choice.
