Congdon Park, located between Lake Superior’s shoreline and the wooded ridges above Tischer Creek, is a residential and park-rich Duluth neighborhood with a collegiate edge and a trail-laced landscape. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the London Road corridor near the University of Minnesota Duluth, where coffee counters, casual eateries, and campus foot traffic set the daily rhythm. Historic Congdon-era homes and mid-century builds share streets with deep tree cover and steep, scenic grades. Glensheen Mansion anchors the area’s cultural identity, while the Tweed Museum of Art and Marshall W. Alworth Planetarium add a creative, academic pulse. Congdon Park and the Lakewalk frame outdoor time with shoreline views and year-round routes.

Don’t miss this ONCE IN A LIFETIME OPPORTUNITY to own a piece of Duluth’s history. Built in 1916, and owned by Edward Congdon shortly after, this classic brick Tudor sits quietly tucked away on 1.9 meticulously maintained acres in the heart of Congdon and is walking distance to schools, neighborhood amenities, and only minutes away from the Duluth hospitals. As you drive past the impressive brick privacy walls and enter into the circular driveway, you are greeted by a charming fountain and taken back to a place in time where no expense was spared constructing the grandest of homes for living and entertaining. The main level has an abundance of natural light and features a welcoming grand foyer, a gorgeous living room with built-ins, an elegant dining room, multiple fireplaces, an office/library, powder room, a wet-bar/beverage room, and fabulous butler’s pantry leading to completely remodeled kitchen straight out of a designer magazine. The second level includes 5 updated, and en-suite bedrooms. There is a separate wing on this home that is perfect for a live in nanny, parent, or houseguest. The private wing is also a great opportunity for working from home in these modern times. The 3rd level offers more space, which could be used for bedrooms, office space, or storage. Other features include a working elevator, a wine cellar, amazing stained glass, marble, porcelain, and custom crown molding & trim throughout. The outside features a beautiful flagstone courtyard with a functioning fountain overlooking the exceptional grounds. Lastly, there are 6 subway tiled garage stalls, 3 of which are attached, brick constructed, heated with hot and cold water and full drainage so you can wash your car year round! This magnificent home has only had 4 owners in its history. The current owners have lovingly cared for and upgraded the home to its pristine condition, and it is ready to welcome its fifth owner!
