About This Home

As of August 2025

Contemporary charm! This open concept features a luxurious wooden staircase as the central focal point. The living space, dining space and kitchen surround this visual anchor to create an airy and welcoming space. Enjoy the convenience of two main-level bedrooms and a full bathroom with laundry. The blue bedroom is the biggest with peek-a-boo views of the lake, and the yellow bedroom overlooks the private fenced yard. Need extra space? Follow the wooden staircase to the finished loft space that functions well as an office, play-space or den, and then to the flexible room upstairs. There are generous entryways from both the front and side door leading to the large, private, and fenced backyard with plenty of room for entertaining around the custom fire pit. Parking is easy with an off-street parking spot and 1-stall tuck-under garage. Don't miss the newer 200 amp electrical and cute little potting room in the basement! Located just moments from Twin Ponds, Duluth Traverse, Superior Hiking Trail, Enger Tower, and Skyline Parkway, you'll have easy access to Duluth's natural beauty, including hiking and mountain biking trails around the corner. Enjoy contemporary living in this Observation Hill beauty! Open House on Friday July 25th from 4-6pm!
