About this property
Historic Top-Floor Condo in Downtown Traverse City – Walk to Beaches & Dining
This charming 2-bed, 2-bath condo, with an additional sleeping loft, is nestled within a revitalized historic building dating back to 1885. The space showcases a striking 3-story spiral staircase, exposed brick walls & breathtaking views. Just 1 mile from downtown & the beach, it offers easy access to the vibrant area. Nestled on a 480-acre estate, you'll find miles of scenic trails at your doorstep. Additionally, an elevator ride away, you'll discover coffee shops, boutiques, and restaurants.
THE SPACE:
We have one master bedroom with a comfortable king-sized bed, a TV and an en-suite master bathroom. The second bedroom located on the main floor includes two twin beds, with additional space for a pack-n-play. The upstairs loft bedroom is open to the downstairs common area and features another comfortable king-sized bed.
During your stay, explore the charming village, located a mere mile from the bay and downtown. The garden level boasts a variety of on-site amenities, including restaurants and shops that cater to both fine dining and quick bites.
Within the Grand Traverse Commons building or its scenic grounds, you'll find:
- PepeNero
- Spanglish
- Pleasanton Bakery
- Higher Grounds
- Red Spire
- Earth & Ales
- S2S (Salt to Sugar)
- Left Foot Charlie
- Trattoria Stella
- Cuppa Joe
- Seasonal Farmers Market
- Unique boutique shops
Consider enhancing your stay with a guided tour of The Village:

- Asylum Twilight Tour
- *NEW* Golf Cart Tour

For your convenience, the condo features an in-unit washer and dryer; common space laundry facilities are also available.
LISTING ACCESS:
Guests have full access to the condo. There are two shared balconies on the 3rd floor.
Convenience and security are paramount, with smart locks granting easy access to the condo. We remain readily available to you throughout your stay via VRBO messaging, with an average response rate of under 1 hour. Our phone number is also provided to you during check-in for any urgent requests or emergencies.
NEIGHBORHOOD:
This historical location has been reimagined into a vibrant community of locally-owned shops, eateries, and condos. The condos are all on private access floors above the shops. Nearby, you will also find multiple hiking and biking trails that can lead you to natural springs and rivers, the renowned "hippie tree" of Traverse City, and breathtaking scenic views.
NOTES:
**NO pets allowed unless proper service pet documentation has been provided and approved BEFORE check-in. If you have an unauthorized pet, you will be asked to leave immediately and will not be refunded for your stay. This is an association rule.**

Why they chose this property
This is my absolute favorite property to have a girls trip at. It is in the most unique building. Hard to beat being an elevator ride away from great restaurants and shops.
