Originally built in 1916, this character-filled home blends timeless charm with thoughtful updates, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere throughout. Inside, you’ll find 6 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms, providing flexibility for a variety of living arrangements. The main living areas have been refreshed to highlight the home’s natural light, flow, and architectural details. Hickory hardwood floors anchor the living and dining rooms, while large windows frame peaceful views of the surrounding landscape. The updated kitchen offers both functionality and style, complete with a prep sink, drink fridge, and pass-through bar—ideal for everyday living or entertaining. One of the home’s standout features is the 3-season sunroom, surrounded by windows and opening to a wraparound deck—an ideal place to relax, gather, or take in the changing seasons. The spacious rec room adds even more versatility, offering a perfect setting for hosting, recreation, or creating your own dedicated retreat space. Outside, the property continues to impress with a beautiful mix of open space and natural surroundings. Enjoy frequent wildlife sightings, along with an established apple orchard featuring approximately 15 apple trees and a pear tree. With zoning that allows for additional possibilities, this property offers not only a home—but potential. Located near the scenic trails of the Lester River and Amity Creek, and within close proximity to Lake Superior, this property offers a unique combination of privacy, space, and convenience—something that’s increasingly hard to find. This is a compelling opportunity to own one of Duluth’s more unique and spacious properties.
