Matterport 3D Tour

Located in the West Duluth neighborhood of Duluth, MN, this three-bedroom, one-bathroom single-story home offers a comfortable and characterful living experience. Throughout the space, light hardwood floors and soft gray walls create a clean, consistent aesthetic, while rich wood window trim adds warmth and a nod to the building's historic character. The open living area features a classic pendant light fixture and large wood-framed windows that flood the room with natural light and provide views of the surrounding neighborhood. Baseboard heating runs beneath the windows in several rooms, ensuring year-round comfort. The kitchen is well-appointed with warm wood cabinetry, white countertops, a double sink, stainless steel refrigerator with ice maker, dishwasher, and an electric range. Diamond-paned windows lend the kitchen a distinctive, timeless charm. The three bedrooms vary in layout and character. The primary bedroom offers generous proportions, while one standout bedroom features soaring ceilings, a built-in chalkboard with wood trim — a unique architectural detail — and a double closet. Each bedroom benefits from natural light through large wood-trimmed windows. The bathroom is neatly finished with a white vanity, granite-style countertop, mirror with overhead lighting, and tile flooring. A connecting hallway ties the layout together efficiently.
