About this House

What's unique:Fenced front yardWooded backyardHardwood floors throughoutBrick wood burning fireplaceOriginal woodworkLarge windows
One of a kind, the setting of this 4 bedroom 1 and 1/4 bath home sits on a nearly quarter acre with a wooded backyard, complete with a creek, small footbridge, and adjacent to the Duluth lake walk in a quiet corner of the lakeside community. A turn of the century, traditional home with original woodwork and hardwood floors throughout the large, combined dining and family rooms, as well as 3 upper level bedrooms. The main level also has a remodeled kitchen with updated flooring, cabinetry, countertops and appliances. The breakfast bar seating at the kitchen peninsula looks into the living room, with brick wood burning fireplace, and large windows. The upper level has a separated primary bedroom, and 3 additional bedrooms that share the large, charmingly vintage, bathroom, with linen storage, and separate sink, and seated vanity. Both east and west facing windows in the living room and primary bedroom allow abundant natural light, and the spectacularly lovely view of the wooded creek-bed, a favorite resting place of bedded lakeside deer. The front of the home has a large picture window in the family room, and the living room overlooks a front deck in a fenced front yard, shared with a detached 1 car garage.

    "People of all ages live here. Also wealthy people and low income people live here. I would love to see it more diverse though"
  • Lisa Sturm
    "Lots of dog walking in Duluth. There are also dog parks. Trails to walk on, lakes to swim in. My neighborhood nearly every house has a dog."
  • Stacy M.
    "Access to public transportation if needed, feels a lot more like a neighborhood and not part of the larger city. Plenty of access to the lake, hiking and biking trails, parks. Excellent place to live regardless of what stage of life you are in. "
  • dghergich
    "The sidewalks are well maintained and you will see people out walking dogs most times of the day. It is a friendly neighborhood where most people clean up after their pets and don’t leave messes. "
  • Trulia User
    "The Halloween trick or treating experience was picture perfect for our little ones. So many houses were decked out and giving out treats. It was also a very safe and walkable neighborhood to be out in the dark."
  • Trulia User

  • Sarahrochel
    "There are lots of other dogs here! I don’t know anyone on my street who doesn’t have at least one dog. "
  • Jroselipka
    "Lake walk is close by and city buses stop across the road many times a day so you wouldn’t necessarily need a car for transportation. Grocery store 1 mile away from my home and 3 gas stations, Coffee shop, post office, couple restaurants, snap fitness, parks, doctors office, chiropractor and dentist all within a mile but mostly within a couple blocks! Very convenient place to live!"
  • Sue W. A.

  • Belangerpope
    "Nice and Quiet. Great place for kids and animals. Beats living in the Central Hillside. Also very convenient when it comes to places."
