for $440,000 with 2 bedrooms and 2 full baths. This 977 square foot home was built in 1896 on a lot size of 0.05.
Rare opportunity to own a fully renovated, income-producing duplex in the heart of Traverse City, steps from downtown, fully furnished, and operating as a short-term rental since 2019. Both units are actively permitted and generating approximately $60,000 combined annually, with upside potential. Commercial zoning requires STR permits to remain active to preserve them both, making this a true turnkey investment with the infrastructure already in place. The lower unit offers 500 sq ft of thoughtfully designed living space with a 1 bedroom, 1 bath layout, fully equipped kitchen (stove/oven, dishwasher, microwave, refrigerator), king bed, and twin trundle beds sleeping up to 4 guests. The upper unit is 477 sq ft, also 1 bed/1 bath, with a kitchenette (no stove), queen bed, twin trundle beds, and the same modern mid-century aesthetic. Both units feature mini-split heating and cooling, flat-screen TVs, WiFi, and plush contemporary finishes throughout. The full renovation was completed in 2019. This property works two ways: run both units as short-term rentals for maximum cash flow, or house hack by living in one unit while offsetting your mortgage with the other. Peak season nightly rates regularly exceed $300 per unit, with strong shoulder-season performance as well. The permits are active, the units are furnished, and the guests are already coming. Full-service property manager in place for a true turn-key opportunity. Walking distance to downtown restaurants, breweries, and the waterfront. Near Potter's Bakery, Oakwood Proper, and Common Good Bakery.
