Welcome to a thoughtfully upgraded, move-in-ready contemporary home in the highly desirable Norman Downes community of Duluth. Set on an elevated lot with views of the treetops and the quiet, walkable neighborhood, this home offers modern style, classic character, and unbeatable value.

The heart of the home is a gourmet kitchen with gray soft-close cabinetry, quartz countertops, and new stainless steel appliances, seamlessly connecting to the dining area and spacious living room, all enhanced by recessed lighting.
A separate dining, family room and a flexible oversized laundry room (ideal for a 5th bedroom or home office conversion) add functionality and flow to the layout. Upstairs, the primary suite includes new flooring, a beautifully updated ensuite bath with a frameless glass shower, new tile, double-sink vanity, and ample closet space. Three additional bedrooms offer plush carpet and plenty of room for family or guests.
Out back, a fenced yard and concrete patio provide privacy and potential for expanded outdoor living, entertaining, or play. The large 0.42-acre lot gives you space to breathe, while the fresh concrete and brick steps with railings add curb appeal.
