Welcome to a completely revitalized West Duluth home where nearly everything is brand new—and the lucky new owner will be the very first to use it all. Originally built in 1891, this home has been thoughtfully reimagined from the inside out, blending the charm of its solid bluestone foundation, cedar siding, and metal roof with the peace of mind and comfort of modern systems, finishes, and layout. This is not just an update, it’s a true full-scale renovation designed to fully utilize every square foot. The home features new walls, added bathrooms, and a fully redesigned kitchen, creating a functional, modern layout that lives like new construction. Enjoy the confidence of all-new; natural gas service, electrical panel and wiring throughout, plumbing and water lines, forced-air furnace, hot water heater, electrical baseboard heaters, windows, doors, drywall, flooring, trim, light fixtures, and fresh interior and exterior paint. The stunning new kitchen shines with brand-new cabinetry, countertops, backsplash, and appliances, while the bathrooms are equally impressive with new vanities, tubs/showers, and tile surrounds. Every detail, from finishes to fixtures has been carefully selected so the next owner can simply move in and enjoy. Additional highlights include large closets (many walk-ins), a full unfinished basement with cellar door access to the backyard, perfect for storage or future expansion. Outside, you’ll appreciate the new front porch structure, private balcony off the rear bedroom overlooking the backyard, the concrete pad (approximately 18' X 15') ready for an outbuilding or parking space utilization. This home truly offers a rare opportunity: the feel of a brand-new house without the wait, where everything is fresh, clean, and untouched—no previous wear, no lingering grime, just a clean slate ready for its next chapter. Perfect for first-time homebuyers or anyone looking for a move-in-ready home, just steps from local favorites—including Bailey Builds Studio & Coffee House.
