Inside, you'll find warm, inviting living spaces filled with natural light, updated finishes, and a layout that blends everyday comfort with practical living.

Additional finished basement space provides flexibility for a family room, home office, workout area, or playroom.
The oversized insulated and heated 2-car garage is truly a standout feature, offering exceptional space for vehicles, storage, hobbies, or a workshop while providing year-round comfort. A backyard driveway adds valuable off-street parking, making room for guests, trailers, recreational vehicles, or additional toys. The generous yard offers plenty of room for entertaining, gardening, pets, or simply relaxing outdoors, while the updated front and back decks provide the perfect setting for morning coffee or summer evenings with family and friends.
Major improvements give buyers confidence for years to come, including a new high-efficiency furnace and central air conditioning (2025), new water heater (2021), professionally waterproofed basement with foundation drainage system
(2023), insulated garage with natural gas heat (2019), and a brand-new garage roof scheduled for installation prior to closing. Additional updates include refreshed drop ceiling tiles on the main level and numerous cosmetic improvements that reflect pride of ownership throughout.
Conveniently located near schools, parks, shopping, restaurants, and just minutes from Duluth, this home offers
small-town charm with easy access to everyday amenities.
