About This Home

As of September 2025

LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION! Just steps to the Two Harbors Lighthouse, waterfront, harbor, downtown district, & trail to Burlington Bay...and city property across from the back alley giving more privacy and space. Imagine being able to walk out your back door and watch the ore boats coming and going on Lake Superior next to the breakwater and Lighthouse along with having the public boat landing onto the big lake just a few blocks away! This home has everything on the main level for single level living ability yet is big enough for families! Inside the house has many surprising floor plan features and updates that you'll be sure to love! Sellers have loved the open concept eat-in kitchen living room and having a main floor bedroom, 3/4 bath with full shower, along with a main floor laundry! Beyond newer appliances and cosmetic updates...a new roof was installed in 2021, most of the windows have been replaced, and there is 2 zone heating with a designated boiler for the upper level to make the upstairs cozy in the winters unlike many other homes where that part of the house can be very cold in the wintertime! A deck off the back inside a fully fenced in back yard make it a great place for young kids and pets! There is also plenty of off-street parking off of the alley giving you a place to park when Two Harbors winters hit and on street overnight parking is not allowed.
