THE TRUE NORTH Presents… 539 Bay St | West Bay Views & Walk to Downtown ➠ 401W
Wake up to unobstructed views of West Grand Traverse Bay from this modern three-bedroom condo, located approximately 300 feet from the water and less than one mile from downtown Traverse City.
Walk to the beach, waterfront trails, Open Space events, and nearby restaurants, then return to your private covered balcony for outdoor dining with a view. A shared lakeside firepit offers another inviting place to gather as the sun sets over the bay.
Perfect For
Families, couples traveling together, festival attendees, and groups seeking beach access with genuine downtown walkability. With three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and room for up to eight guests, the condo provides space to stay together without sacrificing privacy.
The Condo

The open living area is designed for spending time together after beach days, downtown adventures, or festival events. Comfortable seating and expansive views create an inviting setting for relaxed evenings at home.
West Bay Outdoor Living
The private covered balcony offers open views across West Grand Traverse Bay and space for outdoor dining. Begin the morning with coffee overlooking the water or settle in for sunset after a day downtown.
Sandy beach access is approximately 300 feet away, while the shared lakeside firepit provides a comfortable gathering place in the evening. Waterfront trails make it easy to explore the shoreline on foot and continue toward downtown Traverse City.
Kitchen and Dining
The fully equipped kitchen provides everything needed for quick breakfasts, family meals, and longer stays. Prepare dinner at home, gather around the dining area, or take the meal outside to enjoy the bay views from the balcony.
The condo is also within walking distance of downtown dining for evenings when you would rather explore Traverse City’s restaurant scene.
