This historic Morgan Park home boasts original hardwood floors, woodwork and high ceilings throughout. A very spacious and solid concrete home with 2,100 square feet of finished living space over an additional 990 sq. ft. open basement also with high ceilings and walkout door to back yard. As you enter through the front door you are welcomed with a grand wooden staircase leading up to 2nd floor bedrooms and bath, as well as, into the main floor hall with entry into the living room and large formal dining room. Off the dining room is a very wide galley style kitchen featuring a table and wrap around bench nook, breakfast bar and rear entry into the heated mudroom which opens out to a fully fenced yard, the detached garage and off street drive. This updated kitchen also has plenty of cabinet and counter top space and all new stainless steel and black combo appliances. Unlike many homes of this era there is a main floor bedroom and full bath, which can be made private with the closing of a door to make the perfect guest room or mother-in-law suite. Heading up the very wide stairwell to the second floor are three very spacious bedrooms and another full bathroom, all with new windows. The master bedroom boasts a walk-in closet, bayed window area, full nursery or sitting room with a pedestal sink plus a sun porch with private entry to an exterior staircase leading to the back yard. The upstairs also has a quaint den/reading room leading out to an east facing private balcony, perfect for coffee indulged sunrises or evenings watching either the kids play in the large front yard, riding bikes up and down the street or people watching as the neighbors take "Fido" out for a walk. There is so much here for the price! Not only within the home and yard, but the neighborhood is sheltered away from the busyness and cross streets of Duluth, into a quaint community with only two access roads in and out. This home is 1/2 a block from one of the best playgrounds and frisbee golf sites Duluth has to offer, 3 hockey rinks and the community center. Only 4 blocks away in another direction are walking trails to the St. Louis River, another park, plus soccer and baseball fields. In another direction is a convenient small corner store and the public bus line. Just outside Morgan Park is the Willard Munger trail and not too far is the Superior Hiking Trail, Ely's Peak and Spirit Mountain. There are hidden gems in this home and the community.
