Nestled on nearly 2 beautifully wooded acres within the city limits, this well maintained 2 bedroom, 1 bath home offers a rare combination of privacy and convenience. Surrounded by mature pines, the property feels like a peaceful retreat just minutes from everyday amenities. Inside you’ll find an updated kitchen with a breakfast nook, comfortable bedrooms, a full main floor bath, and two gas fireplaces. The lower level includes two finished rooms that could easily become additional bedrooms with the installation of egress windows. Outside, enjoy a spacious deck with a hot tub, a barrel sauna, an attached one stall garage, and an approximately 1,350 square foot detached garage.
Kenwood, located between Downtown Duluth and the wooded ridgelines above Chester Park, is a residential and campus-adjacent Duluth neighborhood with hillside streets and a trail-laced greenbelt feel. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Kenwood Shopping Center area near Kenwood Avenue and Arrowhead Road, where small storefronts, everyday services, and steady foot traffic set the tempo. Classic mid-century houses and tidy postwar homes mix with pockets of newer infill along curving, tree-lined blocks. Chester Park’s creek corridor and ski trails shape daily routines more than a main drag. The College of St. Scholastica adds a collegiate rhythm and brick-and-ivy architecture. Nearby, the Tweed Museum of Art and the historic Glensheen Mansion anchor culture and local identity.
