Property Description

VIEW VIEW VIEW- Experience a rare “two-in-one” opportunity perched atop coveted Observation Hill in Duluth — just moments from downtown and everything the city has to offer. This striking 6-bedroom, 4-bath brick residence pairs timeless character with unmatched panoramic views of Lake Superior and the shipping canal. Designed for flexibility and high-capacity living, the thoughtfully crafted floor plan allows for seamless single-family living or a fully integrated upper-level residence ideal for multigenerational use or additional income potential. Main-Level Residence: A spacious front foyer welcomes you into an expansive chef’s kitchen featuring rich cherry cabinetry and generous eat-in space. The adjoining living and dining areas are anchored by a classic wood-burning brick fireplace and framed by breathtaking Lake Superior vistas. Privately situated at the rear, the primary suite offers a tiled bath, while two additional bedrooms and a full bath complete this level. Upper-Level Residence: Accessible via the front entrance or internally from the main floor, the upper 3-bedroom living space offers a central kitchen, open living and dining areas, and spectacular views from both the interior and deck. Open it up as one grand home — or maintain separation for short-term rental or extended family living. The Ultimate Wow Factor: A dramatic spiral staircase leads to a third-floor observation loft delivering sweeping 360-degree views of Lake Superior and the Duluth harbor —an extraordinary vantage point few properties can claim. Lower-Level Amenities: A welcoming family room, dedicated office, hot tub space, generous sauna with shower, additional bath, and laundry create a retreat-like atmosphere. This level conveniently walks out to the rear 3 stall garage. Three fireplaces, multiple decks, dedicated workspaces, in-floor heat, and solid brick construction further elevate this remarkable offering. Whether you’re seeking a distinguished family estate or a strategic investment with iconic views, this Observation Hill property delivers on every level.
