723 Washington St, Traverse City, MI 49686

Description

Downtown, beaches, and parks, oh my! Taken to the studs and rebuilt, this is not a cosmetic flip; all work permitted and inspected. Roughly 85% of this classic Traverse City home was gutted between 2019 and 2022, then rebuilt with intention: all-new electrical (knob-and-tube fully removed), on-demand hot water, central air, and new ductwork throughout. Hickory hardwood runs the open main level, where the kitchen anchors it all with high-gloss cabinetry, quartz counters, and a deep blue island seating six. Iridescent tile rises to the hood, floating oak shelves flank French doors to the deck, and the built-in microwave doubles as a convection oven. Custom built-ins separate the living and dining spaces, the latter under a beamed beadboard ceiling with a slider to the yard. An open-tread staircase with glass railings turns circulation into architecture, with a library nook tucked beneath. Each bedroom has a walk-in closet and a dedicated bath, two of them en suite. A combined bath-and-laundry suite with built-in shelving replaces what were once three cramped main-floor rooms, and upstairs, the original oak floors have been restored after decades of carpet and paint. The lower level adds unfinished flex space. The primary suite occupies what used to be the attic: a vaulted ceiling, a linear fireplace, and French doors to a private balcony. Its spa bath features chevron-laid stone tile, a freestanding soaking tub in a four-window bay, a frameless glass shower with a ceiling rain panel and dual wall heads, dual vanities with art-glass vessel sinks, a heated towel rack, a private water closet, and a custom walk-in closet. Outside: a fenced yard, a tiled sports court with a hoop (tiles are removable if not needed), and a multi-level deck built for entertaining or unwinding by the fire pit. Raised garden beds sit near a pond fed by a natural spring. New siding, a new front deck, and a new roof over the addition round things out. Walkable to downtown Traverse City.
