12335 Center Rd, Traverse City, MI 49686

Welcome to your private five-acre estate in the heart of wine country on Old Mission Peninsula, where a long private drive gives way to sweeping sunset views of West Grand Traverse Bay. Designed by architect Ken Richmond to capture the bay from nearly every room, the home was reimagined in 2026 by Burkholder Construction and Murphy & Co. architects, with refined interiors by San Francisco designer Roselle Curwin. The main level now features wide-plank white oak floors, custom Inception Woodworks cabinetry, Carrara marble, and designer lighting, giving the house a warmth that feels both modern and collected over time. A soaring central foyer opens to a quiet study and bright living spaces with coffered ceilings, French doors, and divided-light windows that pull the outdoors in. In the kitchen, a full marble slab rises behind the Wolf range, a large white oak island seats five, and the sink sits beneath a wall of windows facing the bay, so even the dishes come with a view. A bar and coffee station sit just off the kitchen, and the deep green dining room invites long dinners that run late. Five bedrooms and five baths leave room for family and guests. The walkout lower level opens to a sweeping back lawn, with a gym, sauna, wine cellar, and space for billiards or movies. Summer days belong outside. Swim in the heated pool, settle into the hot tub, and end the evening on the patios overlooking the bay. Ideally located minutes from Jolly Pumpkin, Peninsula Grill, The Boathouse, Bowers Harbor, Peninsula Market, Old Mission Peninsula School, and Peninsula Community Library. Furnishings, boat, and Bowers Harbor slip negotiable.

Prepare yourself for a home unlike any other. Nestled aloft the hills of Old Mission Peninsula with unobstructed, sweeping views of West Grand Traverse Bay, this 5 bed/4.5 bath home is truly something special. Designed by acclaimed local architect Ken Richmond, the home blends beauty and function seamlessly with vast cathedral ceilings, light-filled open spaces, and custom woodworking. Adjacent to the foyer is an airy living room bursting with natural light from walls of double-height windows, hosting a stately fireplace focal point. The main level also features a handsome study, a music room with beautiful, gridded beam ceiling, a lovely breakfast nook, and a wet bar. The heart of the home, the island kitchen was designed for a true culinarian with a joy for entertaining. Expansive granite countertops and island contrast against premium appliances and Brazilian Cherry cabinetry. Retrieve a bottle of your favorite vintage from your personal wine cellar and retire to the formal dining room to enjoy a meal with tranquil garden vistas. Rounding out the main level are 2 bathrooms, a mudroom, and a substantial designated laundry. The upper level features 4 sizable guest bedrooms and a hallway bath. The Primary bedroom retreat follows with glorious views, a roomy walk-in closet, and a spa-like en suite bath with jetted tub adorned in Turkish marble. The walk-out lower level of the home hosts the wine cellar, a spacious family game room with a bar and numerous built-ins, the remaining half bath, a home gym, and a relaxing Turkish dry sauna. Exiting into the back courtyard, you are greeted by a capacious in-ground pool and hot tub for ultimate serenity. The attached multi-bay heated garage offers ample space for vehicles and every toy needed to live your Up North lifestyle to its fullest. Just a short drive from downtown TC, this home is situated on 5 breathtaking acres awash in the glow of West Bays brilliant sunsets, amidst Old Mission's celebrated wine region!
