The Space: Welcome to the Blue Water Front Street Retreat. This lovely third-floor 2-bedroom condo is located on Downtown Traverse City's main drag and is just minutes from the epicenter of all things fun in TC! From its lively nightlife and nationally renowned food scene to its stunning family-friendly beaches, park, and hiking and biking trails, the Blue Water Retreat offers guests a prime location with lots of walkability and all the "at home" comfort they could want. Located on the third floor, our guests enjoy limited noise interruptions as there are no floors above our unit. We also do not have an elevator, so this unit is more situated for active families and couples who don't mind taking the stairs. Inside our unit, we boast lots of eastern-facing windows and plenty of natural light throughout the open floorplan. Guests will find the large centrally located living room to be a great space for entertaining or for kicking back and watching a movie on our smart TV. The kitchen is also fully stocked and has everything you need to prepare a gourmet dinner or to cook a simple breakfast. The large primary bedroom features a king-size bed with a full-size ensuite bathroom and a spacious walk-in closet. The second bedroom is off the kitchen and features a queen-size bed with a closet and a laundry room. There is a parking lot at the rear of the building with one parking space designated for this unit. If you park in any other unit’s parking space your vehicle can be towed without your notice. There is additional parking available at Hardy Parking Garage at 303 E State Street. Parking in the alley behind the condo is not allowed.
