About This Home

As of October 2021

Own one of Duluth’s most historic homes! Tucked away you find this estate peacefully sitting along Oregon Creek in the middle of Duluth's Congdon neighborhood. This jaw-dropping 9,000 square-foot property was completed in 1910 for General Mills co-founder and millionaire grain baron, George G. Barnum. Enjoy the privacy of this quiet, dead-end drive that concludes at the banks of the creek. Immerse yourself in tranquility as you come up the drive surrounded by the professionally landscaped lot, filled with hard wood trees and gorgeous gardens. This luxurious home has a way of feeling cozy and approachable, while still offering accommodations for all of your family and friends. Entertain your guests on the large upper floor deck with views of Lake Superior and the beautifully manicured lawn below. Your next home offers a 1,100 square foot three season, wrap-around, enclosed front porch; a formal dining room; multiple fireplaces; two spacious living rooms with quarter-sawn oak wainscoting, beamed ceilings; a gourmet chef’s kitchen with granite countertops; a butler’s pantry; custom, original cabinets, and a walk-in cooler. The lower level features the original billiards room that has endless natural lighting which can be used as a third living space or den. Each of the seven bedrooms feature a private bathroom, five of which offer a jacuzzi tub. While being rich in Duluth history, this home boasts updated amenities including a split system air conditioning throughout, remote controlled gas fireplaces, updated kitchen, and a Kinetico soft water system. This timeless estate born of Minnesota’s Great Lakes exportation industry has been featured in the Star Tribune, WCCO radio, MPLS/St. Paul Magazines, Minnesota Monthly and Better Homes and Gardens just to name a few. Do not miss this once in a lifetime opportunity to own a piece of Duluth’s history!
