Tucked on a private lot just removed enough from the heart of Duluth, this 4 bedroom, 3 bath home offers that rare blend of peaceful setting and everyday convenience—with city utilities already in place. The design leans beautifully Scandinavian, with clean lines, warm maple and birch finishes, and an abundance of oversized windows that pull natural light into every corner of the home. The main level is both functional and inviting. A bedroom with an attached Full bath creates the perfect space for guests or one-level living flexibility. The kitchen is thoughtfully designed with high-end appliances, a butcher block center island, and cozy bench seating that naturally becomes the gathering spot. Just off the attached garage, you’ll find a practical mudroom that easily doubles as a home office or drop zone. At the back of the home, a 3-season porch invites quiet mornings and relaxed evenings, while the south-facing deck offers ideal sun exposure and room for a future hot tub. Upstairs, the charm continues with a tucked-away reading nook complete with its own window and ladder—an imaginative and cozy retreat. Two bedrooms share a spacious bath, while the primary suite provides double sinks and a walk-in closet. The lower level is mostly finished (an additional 1328 sq ft are WAITING FOR YOU) with high ceilings, new carpet, fresh sheetrock, and an open layout ready for recreation, workouts, or entertaining. It’s already plumbed for an additional bath and includes exceptional storage for all your seasonal gear. Step outside and you’re moments from Hartley Nature Preserve’s 700+ acres of trails, plus neighborhood paths right from the cul-de-sac. All of this just minutes to shopping, restaurants, and coffee shops—making daily life as easy as it is enjoyable.
