Looking for a place in the country? Then here's your opportunity! Perched atop a hill on Strand Road, this unique property sits on a private 3.3 acre parcel in Lakewood Township. Enjoy the best of both worlds with being a quick 20 minute drive to downtown Duluth, only 1 mile from Lakewood Elementary School and short 3 miles to recrational opportunites in Lester Park and Hawk Ridge! As you pull in, you'll appreciate the privacy of the backyard, surrounded by a beautiful mix of mature maple, white pine, poplar, and other tree species. You'll love the newer 24x24 detached garage, complete with a separate insulated and heated 10x24 workshop, built in 2006. The yard also features a fire pit, apple trees, and plenty of space for gardening, playing, or simply relaxing after a long day. Step inside to find a functional main level featuring the living room, dining area, kitchen, and a ¾ bath. Upstairs are the two bedrooms. The former attached garage has been converted into a spacious finished recreation room with a laundry area, adding valuable living space. The home also includes a full basement, but has lower 5 foot ceilings, making it ideal use for utilities and storage. This is a great opportunity to own a home with room to add your own personal style and updates over time. Major improvements include a septic system installed in 2001, a new shingle roof in 2011, a furnace replaced in 2022, and additional updates to plumbing, electrical, and PEX water lines and bathroom remodel.
