About This Home

As of May 2026

Just blocks from Petoskey’s coveted Gaslight District and the Little Traverse Bay waterfront, this rare downtown opportunity combines timeless character with the updates buyers want now. Homes in this neighborhood seldom come available—and when they do, they move quickly. This 100-year-old home has been thoughtfully refreshed with fresh paint throughout, creating a bright, clean interior that still honors its original charm. Upstairs, a bedroom offers seasonal bay views, a daily reminder that you’re living in the heart of Northern Michigan. Outside, the private and beautifully maintained backyard is an unexpected retreat—perfect for summer evenings, gardening, or quiet mornings. Major improvements are already done: a new roof in 2021, plus new gutters, front and back screen doors, and a new back door in 2025. With walkability, privacy, and peace of mind all wrapped into one property, this is a home you won’t want to miss.
