7787 E Shore Rd Traverse City, MI 49686

7787 East Shore Road delivers the kind of Old Mission Peninsula character that only a century of stories can create. Built in 1925 and once featured in Home & Garden, this historic home holds a timeless charm that feels both authentic and enduring. Set on nearly an acre, the home offers 4 bedrooms and 2 baths, balancing historic warmth with everyday livability. What truly sets this property apart is its setting: 85 feet of private East Bay frontage with a stunning 180-degree view of the water, paired with a rare 360-degree natural panorama of mature trees, rolling landscape, and sky. Sunrises over the bay feel especially worth waking up for, while the surrounding views create a sense of immersion in nature from every angle. Located on East Shore Road - one of the most desirable and quiet stretches on Old Mission Peninsula - the setting is ideal for peaceful walks, morning runs, and leisurely bike rides. The road’s calm, low-traffic nature enhances the feeling of privacy and serenity that defines this property. Mature trees frame the home beautifully, providing shade, seclusion, and a sense of permanence. Though it feels tucked into its own private world, downtown Traverse City is just 8 minutes away. For outdoor enthusiasts, the Old Mission Lighthouse is only 15 minutes away, offering over 20 miles of scenic hiking trails, sweeping views of West Bay, and some of the most iconic vistas in northern Michigan. Wineries punctuate the landscape here, with Black Star Farms just beyond the back door, reinforcing the unmistakable Old Mission lifestyle. This is waterfront living with history, character, and a setting that invites you to slow down - naturally.
