    What's special

    Hardwood floorsSemi open-concept designExtra parkingVaulted ceilingsWalkout basementLarge gardenDouble lot
    Perched on a double lot atop Duluth’s iconic Observation Hill, this customized split-entry offers sweeping panoramic views of Lake Superior, the Aerial Lift Bridge, Park Point, the harbor, and the St. Louis River. Thoughtfully positioned to maximize both privacy and sightlines, the home delivers a rare vantage point that lets you enjoy the views Duluth is famous for every single day. Expansive windows throughout the house pull the lake views into the kitchen, dining, and living room, as well as the primary bedroom. Upstairs, the second-story bedroom takes it a step further, offering a truly unforgettable perspective on the lake, passing ships, Enger Tower, and the city. With approximately 2,800 square feet, 5 bedrooms, and 2 bathrooms, the home is suited for both functional everyday living and entertaining. A semi open-concept design, vaulted ceilings, and hardwood floors create a natural flow between the living room, kitchen, dining area, and deck. The lower level includes a spacious rec room, two additional bedrooms, and a walkout basement, giving plenty of room to spread out. Outside, the star of the show is the 35-foot lake-facing deck with access from the kitchen/dining and primary bedroom. Whether enjoying a quiet morning or hosting with friends, the setting is ideal for taking in the views and watching ships move through the harbor. Additional features include the double lot, a 2-stall insulated garage, extra parking, a large garden, and a second-story balcony off the upper bedroom. The dining room includes a gas fireplace, while an easily accessible attic offers generous storage. Recent updates include a new roof on both the house and garage (2026), water heater (2025), new carpet (2026), and a refreshed lower-level bath (2025). Located within easy walking distance to Enger Tower & Golf Course, Twin Ponds, and Lake Superior Hiking Trails, you can enjoy serene views and wildlife all while being just a few minutes’ drive from attractions like Canal Park, Park Point beaches, Mill Hill Mall area, and the Craft District.
