Description for 225 N 26th Ave E, Duluth, MN, 55812

Imagine waking up in the heart of Congdon, Duluth's most storied neighborhoods, just blocks from the spectacular Lake Superior. Morning light pours through bay windows framed by the neighborhood's towering white pines. This is the kind of address people wait years for. Step inside & the home announces itself immediately. Cedar beams the color of warm honey span the living room ceiling, anchored below by a gorgeous fireplace redesigned with a cedar mantel that draws the eye the moment you enter. A coffee bar with a dual-temperature wine fridge sits ready for whatever the evening demands. The kitchen is straight out of a magazine: rich cabinetry, warm walnut wide-planked countertops, gas cooktop, double wall ovens, plus a nine-foot patio door that dissolves the wall between inside and out, pulling the deck and the tree canopy directly into the room. Every surface on this level has been touched, refined, and finished with care. The primary suite is a genuine retreat, with a fully tiled bath. A second bath off the hall is nothing short of indulgent;a tiled steam shower with a teak bench, a dedicated vanity w/a steam-resistant mirror, infloor heat & finishes that belong in a boutique hotel. Upstairs the mood shifts. A cedar-beamed family room gives way to a corner sitting room wrapped in windows where afternoon light moves slowly across the walls! A dining room catches the western light and opens onto its own private deck. Three bedrooms and a full bath. This floor has everything it needs and nothing it doesn't. Then there is the lower level. Descend the stairs & the Pub Room opens up around you! A warm exposed brick, a black ceiling with raw copper and iron overhead,a live-edge bar top glowing under Edison light, beverage fridge, wine rack, and a media wall built for long winter nights with people you love.The kitchen behind it is fully equipped.The 3/4 bath is unforgettable: cedar planks on every wall and the ceiling, a hammered-copper vessel sink the color of an old penny, and an exposed copper-pipe shower that makes no apologies for what it is. Corner lot is level, the pines are mature, the upper deck looks toward Lake Superior, and the driveway was just seal-coated. A home that has been lived in fully & loved genuinely! Make this one YOURS.
