This West Duluth home has all the traditional charm you love, with a few extra touches that make it feel warm, comfortable, and easy to settle into! The large enclosed front porch is a standout feature, a cozy extension of the home that’s perfect for morning coffee, plant lovers, storm watching, or simply relaxing while enjoying the seasons! Step inside and you’re welcomed by a practical entry with closet space to help keep everyday life organized. The living room is bright, spacious, and feels instantly inviting, with plenty of room to gather, relax, or spread out! It flows nicely into the dining room, while the bay window adds character and brings in views of the yard and natural light throughout the day. The galley kitchen makes great use of the space with tons of cabinets and a layout that just works! There’s even room for a small eat-in setup, coffee bar, or extra prep area depending on your style. Upstairs, you’ll find three nicely sized bedrooms with original hardwood floors that add warmth and charm to the home. The full bathroom sits conveniently between the bedrooms, giving a nice sense of privacy and separation. Downstairs offers extra storage space along with a handy 3/4 bathroom. Outside, the double lot is a huge bonus, mostly flat, usable yard space like this can be hard to find! The back deck, right off the kitchen, is ready for grilling, entertaining, or enjoying those perfect Duluth summer evenings. The insulated and heated 2+ stall garage is ideal for storage, projects, parking, or keeping warm in the winter, plus there’s an additional roll-door shed area for even more space. Conveniently located near the Lake Superior Zoo, the Munger Trail, and the Superior Hiking Trail, this home offers a comfortable neighborhood feel with easy access to some of Duluth’s favorite outdoor spots!
