Overview

Located at 505 Second Street in Traverse City, this side-by-side duplex was built as a duplex, not converted from a single-family home. The property offers two units, each featuring a large living room and a front foyer entrance, along with a secondary entrance at the rear. Both units include two bedrooms, a full bath, and built-in bookcases, plus a full basement for additional utility and storage. Unit B also includes arched doorways and a dining room.

The duplex is positioned for walkability, with the seller stating it is within walking distance of beaches and downtown Traverse City. Parking is available off the alley, and there is a garage on site that is currently used for storage.

This configuration can support tenants who value separate rear access while maintaining a straightforward, consistent two-bedroom layout across both units. For owner-occupants or investors seeking a duplex with basements and off-alley parking, the property’s purpose-built design and practical entry/rooming plan provide a clean foundation for day-to-day operation.
