About This Home

Meticulously Maintained One-Level Living on 5 Acres in Esko! Perfectly situated between Cloquet and Esko, and just 15 minutes to Duluth, this well-designed 3-bedroom home offers comfort, convenience, and room to spread out. The floor plan features open concept living and a private master suite on one end of the home, separated from the additional bedrooms for added privacy.

Patio doors off the living room lead to the backyard hot tub—perfect for relaxing evenings. The spacious foyer welcomes you in, and the attached oversized heated garage offers a floor drain, attic storage, and plenty of room for projects. There’s also a 46x30 detached garage with poured slab for all your extra storage or workshop needs. Additional features include in-slab heating, central air, Andersen windows, spray foam insulation, and more. This meticulously maintained home is truly set up for both comfort and efficiency—inside and out! Set up a showing today before it’s gone!
