About this property
Top of The Peak: Downtown Gem! Steps to Beach
Summary:
Welcome to Top of The Peak! This historical condo is in a prime one-of-a-kind location downtown. One block to the North is the beautiful West End Beach, volleyball courts, and the TART trail that will connect you from Suttons Bay to Elk Rapids. One block to either the East or the South will lead you to amazing restaurants, bars, shopping, art studios, any many unique stops in Downtown Traverse City, with Black Market Coffee, Folgarelli’s, Burritt’s and the Pie Company only steps from your door.
The Space:
The historic building, built originally in 1899 for The Big Daylight Candy Factory, is now home to a select few penthouse condos, office spaces beneath, North Peak Brewery on the main floor, and Kilkenny's Irish Pub in the basement. This location could not be better! Our 2 bedroom / 1 bathroom condo flaunts its historic character amongst luxurious and inviting warmth. Let this be your home away from home!
Our unit will comfortably sleep 6 adults. Our master bedroom offers a king bed and plenty of closet space, with great views of West Grand Traverse Bay! Across the hall is the full bathroom & laundry. After passing through the bright and open living room (that features a queen pull out & a twin convertible) you enter the second bedroom featuring a queen bed.
At booking, you will receive a curated guide to our neighborhood from Bayshore Vacation Rentals!
