Perfectly positioned at the base of Old Mission Peninsula, 7787 East Shore Road offers immediate access to the very best of Traverse City and peninsula living. Traverse City is just minutes away, placing award-winning dining, boutique shopping, marinas, beaches, and year-round events within easy reach, while the vineyards, orchards, and scenic backroads of Old Mission unfold just beyond your doorstep. East Shore Road is one of the peninsula’s most desirable stretches, known for its quiet pace, low traffic, and postcard-worthy views along East Bay. Morning walks, bike rides, and sunset drives are part of everyday life here, with the water always in view and nature setting the tone. Black Star Farms sits just down the road, with numerous wineries, farm markets, and tasting rooms continuing north toward the peninsula’s tip. When adventure calls, the Old Mission Lighthouse and its miles of hiking trails are an easy drive, offering sweeping views of both East and West Bay. The property itself enjoys nearly an acre of land and approximately 85 feet of private East Bay frontage, delivering expansive water views, breathtaking sunrises, and a rare sense of space created by mature trees and surrounding natural landscape. Shore Road also has updates including a new roof, carpet throughout, gutters, steel insulated garage doors, and an updated boiler system. While the home dates back to 1925 and carries the quiet charm of a bygone era, the true value lies in its irreplaceable setting, where bay front living, peninsula culture, and downtown convenience intersect seamlessly. This is an opportunity to own a piece of Old Mission Peninsula at its most accessible, walkable, and livable; a place where the lifestyle comes first and the location speaks for itself.
