One of a kind, the setting of this 4 bedroom 1 and 1/4 bath home sits on a nearly quarter acre with a wooded backyard, complete with a creek, small footbridge, and adjacent to the Duluth lake walk in a quiet corner of the lakeside community. A turn of the century, traditional home with original woodwork and hardwood floors throughout the large, combined dining and family rooms, as well as 3 upper level bedrooms. The main level also has a remodeled kitchen with updated flooring, cabinetry, countertops and appliances. The breakfast bar seating at the kitchen peninsula looks into the living room, with brick wood burning fireplace, and large windows. The upper level has a separated primary bedroom, and 3 additional bedrooms that share the large, charmingly vintage, bathroom, with linen storage, and separate sink, and seated vanity. Both east and west facing windows in the living room and primary bedroom allow abundant natural light, and the spectacularly lovely view of the wooded creek-bed, a favorite resting place of bedded lakeside deer. The front of the home has a large picture window in the family room, and the living room overlooks a front deck in a fenced front yard, shared with a detached 1 car garage.
