Have you always dreamed of waking up to the rhythm of waves and the endless horizon of Lake Superior? Architecturally designed and built in 2021 with uncompromising craftsmanship, this lakeside home pairs timeless style with sweeping waterfront views from nearly every room. Perched on over half an acre with 75 feet of Lake Superior shoreline, this rare property sits just minutes from Brighton Beach and the North Shore Scenic Drive. Step inside to an open main level where the living room, dining area, and contemporary chef’s kitchen flow together under soaring vaulted ceilings. The gourmet kitchen features honed granite countertops, premium Café appliances, custom cabinetry, and a large center island. Expansive windows frame the water, while artisan details highlight the care poured into the home, including beautiful Motawi tiles on the fireplace. Above, a versatile loft offers panoramic views of the Greatest of the Great Lakes. The lower walkout level acts as a private lakeside haven with efficient in-floor heat. Here, the primary suite creates a peaceful retreat opening directly to lake views, complete with a walk-in closet and private bath. This level also features a convenient pet-wash station and a secure walk-in vault for added protection of your valuables. Just off the attached garage, a spacious lakeside bonus room offers endless possibilities as an art studio, gym, wood shop, or guest bedroom. Outside, a screened lake room and a custom brick fireplace down by the lake let you fully immerse yourself in the lakeside lifestyle. Homes of this caliber on the legendary shores of Lake Superior are incredibly rare. Schedule your showing today.
Lakeside-Lester Park, located between Lake Superior’s shoreline and the wooded ridges of Lester Park, is a residential and outdoorsy Duluth neighborhood with a lakeside trail culture and a classic corner-commercial feel. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Lakeside business district near E Superior St and 47th Ave E, where small storefronts, cafes, and everyday errands share the sidewalk with trail-bound foot traffic. New Scenic Café and the historic Glensheen Mansion act as local touchstones for dining and culture. Housing leans toward early- to mid-century homes and cottages, often set on sloped lots with big trees and lake air. Lester Park’s creek corridors and ski trails shape daily routines, while the Lakewalk and Brighton Beach keep the horizon in view.
