Rare downtown Traverse City opportunity: historic character, three legal units, and serious flexibility—all in one exceptional property.Tucked into one of Traverse City’s most desirable downtown neighborhoods, 214 W Tenth Street is a truly uncommon offering: a grandfathered three-unit property that combines the charm of an 1880 home with the flexibility and income potential of multiple independent living spaces. Whether you're looking for an investment property, a multigenerational home, a live-in-and-rent opportunity, or a distinctive downtown retreat, this property gives you options that are increasingly difficult to find in Traverse City. The main-floor residence welcomes you with a gracious foyer, original woodwork, doors and hardware, hardwood floors, grand front windows, and a spacious living/dining area. The kitchen includes a comfortable breakfast nook, while two generously sized bedrooms and a full bath complete the main level. Upstairs, two separate private residences provide additional flexibility. The front apartment features hardwood floors, a spacious bedroom, full kitchen, living area, and bath. The rear apartment enjoys its own entrance along with hardwood floors, an updated kitchen, living space, large bedroom, walk-in closet, and full bath. A lower-level bonus area with both front and rear access provides valuable storage and flexible finished space, including laundry, built-in cabinetry, a large closet, and room that can serve as a den, hobby space, library, or guest overflow. Outside, the property becomes even more compelling. A detached three-car garage, professionally landscaped grounds, covered porch, and fully fenced backyard are rare amenities this close to downtown. Enjoy immediate proximity to the freshwater beaches on Grand Traverse Bay, the acclaimed vineyards of the Old Mission and Leelanau Peninsulas, and the breathtaking Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore.
