Where the hillside meets the bay, a limited collection of modern homes is taking shape. Villa Grand Traverse offers sweeping views, refined design and a location just minutes from the heart of Traverse City. Each home is designed with its owner through a guided design process before construction begins, so you choose the homesite, floor plan, finishes, and deck, rooftop terrace and view options. You'll be close to everything that makes Traverse City one of Michigan's most desirable places to live: downtown dining and entertainment, Munson Healthcare, the YMCA, shopping, parks and trails, excellent schools, and Grand Traverse Bay's four-season outdoor life. This plan has an open, light-filled main level made for gathering and taking in the view. Past the covered entry, the kitchen, dining and living areas flow together as one space. The chef's kitchen is anchored by a long center island and a pantry. The living room opens to a private deck for morning coffee and evening sunsets. A powder room for guests, plus a laundry room and mudroom off the two-car garage, keep daily life easy. Upstairs is a private retreat. The primary suite has a spacious bedroom, a walk-in closet, and a spa-inspired bath with double vanity and walk-in shower. Two more bedrooms share a full bath, and a dedicated office gives you a quiet place to work with a view. Outside, vertical cedar, natural stone and a low-slung modern profile let the home settle into the hillside instead of sitting on top of it. 1,940 square feet. Three bedrooms, two and a half baths, plus an office. Attached two-car garage. Base price from $995,000. Fully refundable soft reservations are now being accepted.
