About 3878 Forest Lakes Dr

This bi-level home has hosted a family daycare for decades, but the time has arrived for a new owner. Set back from the road on a spacious lot in a quiet neighborhood on Traverse City's east side, close to lakes, state land and parks, this home has lots to offer. Three bedrooms and two full baths with loads of storage space and downstairs bonus rooms, even a "man cave!" New vinyl flooring in the living room and bedrooms adds durability. Updates include a new Bosch dishwasher in 2019, new washer and dryer in 2020, new metal roof in 2020 and a new oven and refrigerator in 2022. Detached garage offers extra workspace area and an expanded 2.5 car garage width. Large fenced backyard on a half-acre lot.
