Listing information updated 8/2/2026 at 6:03am

Full of charm and thoughtful nods to its original 1930s character, this completely restored Peninsula Drive cottage redefines up north elevated simplicity. At 2 bedrooms, 1 bath, and just under 1100 square feet, its footprint may be smaller, but this sweet home is certainly mighty. This cozy cottage on coveted Peninsula Drive makes a lasting impression. Appreciate artistic details and custom finishes throughout, from the gorgeously outfitted kitchen and minibar wallpaper to the exposed beams and totally unique light fixtures. In addition to the thoughtful flair indoors, the outdoor oasis speaks for itself. This extra living space, complete with comfy couch, fire pit, pergola, covered grilling station, and dining table is the ultimate entertaining destination. From here, it's also easy to appreciate the beautifully preserved stone exterior. The unobstructed bay views put the cherry on top of this sweet Old Mission delight. Behind the property, undeveloped conservancy land and a private vineyard brings peace of mind for years to come. Enjoy close proximity to downtown Traverse City for afternoons at the shops or dinner with friends. Whether downsizing or looking for a very special part-time retreat in Traverse City, this cottage is one-of-a-kind.
