Restraunts, breweries, and speciality shops are all within walking distance, with groceries just a few minutes drive away. Built in the early 1900's as a boarding house, this home is a traverse city origional with 100+ year old quirks and character. It was made for renting. Currently the grass is being re-grown in the front yard and the back yard is thick and rich for enjoying the outdoors.
