🌆 One-of-a-Kind Downtown TC Penthouse ➠ 400W
Fantastic Stay!
by Randy
5/5
Our recent stay in this opulent condo in the heart of Downtown Traverse City was nothing short of spectacular. Perfectly positioned to offer breathtaking views of West Bay, the condo is a masterpiece of design and luxury, ideally situated within walking distance to fine dining, chic cafes, vibrant markets, and bustling nightlife.
From the moment we stepped through the majestic mahogany and steel doorway, we were transported into a world of elegance and comfort. The original historic Greilickville brick and spruce beams provide a stunning contrast to the modern luxuries found throughout this beautifully crafted condo. The attention to detail is apparent in every corner, particularly in the kitchen with its sleek hydraulic cocobolo wood cabinets, state-of-the-art Wolf appliances, and a high-end ASKO dishwasher, all set against classic granite countertops. Whether preparing a simple breakfast or a gourmet dinner, the kitchen was a joy to use, enhanced by mesmerizing views of the city and the tranquil Boardman River.
The living area is a haven of relaxation, featuring a cozy fireplace framed by rustic railroad tie accents and equipped with a SONOS sound system and customizable LED lighting, allowing us to set the perfect ambiance for any occasion. Evenings were particularly enjoyable, whether we were sipping wine by the fire or watching a movie on the impressive roll-down projection screen. The hidden wet strategic bar location was perfect for entertaining and crafting evening cocktails.
The bedrooms are sanctuaries of tranquility, each furnished with DreamCloud mattresses to ensure a restful night's sleep. The master suite was a highlight, featuring a luxurious bathroom with sculpted stone tiles, a teak vanity, and a ceiling-mounted shower and tub filler, offering a spa-like experience in the privacy of our room. The hammered copper and nickel soaking jet tub was particularly divine, providing the ultimate relaxation after a day of exploration.
A bonus was the billiards table, which provided hours of entertainment and a touch of sophistication to our stay. And the bathtub too! I loved it!
Thanks, guys! Until next time!

Fantastic place

Our stay at this one-of-a-kind 3-bedroom penthouse in downtown Traverse City was nothing short of spectacular.
The penthouse boasts breathtaking views of the city and river, visible from expansive windows that frame the landscape beautifully. Waking up to such views each morning and watching the sunset over the cityscape was a daily highlight. The location in the heart of downtown meant we were just steps away from fine dining, shopping, and entertainment, which was incredibly convenient.
What I love the most is the living room was the heart of the penthouse, equipped with a cozy fireplace, a state-of-the-art SONOS sound system, customizable LED lighting to set any mood and a wet bar that was perfect for entertaining. The drop-down movie projection screen was a hit among our group, providing cinema-quality movie nights that were a perfect way to wind down after exploring the city.
The kitchen was a dream for us as food enthusiasts. Outfitted with Wolf appliances, it inspired us to cook and enjoy several meals, making our dining experiences both luxurious and intimate. The quality of the appliances and the spacious design of the kitchen added to the overall ease and enjoyment of our stay.
It was really a fantastic place, we loved it! Until next time! Thank you!

We've stayed in luxury spaces all over town and this was by far our favorite. What an exceptional and truly exquisitely designed condo. The location was so perfect, centrally located, there's a spa underneath and the management company True North was so pleasant to deal with.
We'll be back.
