I grew up in Two Harbors, just 20 miles north of my current home in Duluth. I’m not sure you’ll find anyone that loves this city more than I do, which makes Real Estate an absolute perfect fit! I love that we have so much green space within our city limits; that we have such active and passionate citizens; and
of course, I’m so proud to live next to the largest, most beautiful fresh water lake in the world! On top of being a full-time Realtor, I’m extremely involved in my community, and I’ve dedicated my life to making this area a great place to conduct business, to explore the outdoors, and to raise a family. My wife, Jill, and I have two wonderful daughters – Autumn and Elloise – and we’re so fortunate to call this North Shore area our home! I’m extremely energetic, hard working and dedicated to my career. My 11 years of experience during a challenging Real Estate market has given me a keen sense of the market, which means I can accurately price homes and help you find the best possible price for your dream home. My goal is to provide a “user-friendly” Real Estate experience, and I take pride in offering 5 Star Service while working with buyers and sellers. Nothing makes me more satisfied than a satisfied client. To better serve my clients, as well as to help you save money and the planet, I’ve achieved the designation of a Certified EcoBroker®. What this means is that I provide a better understanding of energy opportunities and environmental issues as they relate to home buying and selling. I’m always looking for the best ways to better highlight green features in homes as well as to offer advice to make green improvements that reduce your energy bills and increase the value of your home. The bottom line? SAVING YOU MONEY! Lastly, I strongly believe in dedication, commitment, loyalty, and honesty in my life and especially in the Real Estate business. My goal is to fully understand your needs and put your interests above all else. I would be absolutely honored to have the opportunity to work with you!

Lakeside is home to this beautiful 4 square traditional that is situated on a lovely lot with a fenced yard and a 24x24 garage. The large front entry welcomes you into this character filled main level which features gorgeous birds eye and tiger stripe maple hardwood floors, a wood burning fireplace, a large bay window, spacious living and dining rooms, and a bright kitchen with lots of storage and a breakfast nook. The dining room features patio doors out to the deck. The hardwoods continue up the stairs and under the carpet in every room and closet. All three bedrooms are a decent size and the full bathroom has wainscoting and a big linen closet. The lower level is partially finished and features a great family room, an updated 3/4 bath, an office area, a workshop, and a laundry room. The Carrier natural gas furnace has been meticulously maintained every year and ducts have been cleaned often as well. The home is very efficient, easy to heat and cool, and features high quality Pella windows on the main floor and some up the upstairs, and the rest of the windows are vinyl framed. The lateral line was re-lined in 2020, the water heater was replaced in 2017, and many more improvements have been made throughout the years. The gardens, large back yard, new concrete parking pad and gate, under deck storage, plus side yards, and large front yard make outside living and entertaining so enjoyable. The gardens amaze from spring to fall with tons of perennials, lillys, tulips, azaleas, poppies, rhubarb, and so much more. The trees on the property include two newer autumn blaze maples that light on fire with color in the fall, two birch trees, cedar bushes, flowering berry trees, a gorgeous lilac bush, and a giant white pine that stands out in the neighborhood and really brings the yard and hammocks together. The detached garage easily fits 2 vehicles along with a motorcyle, snowblower, mower, other toys, and so much more. Located just 8 blocks from Lake Superior, 5 blocks from the Lakewalk, 2 blocks to hockey rinks and mulitple parks, and with the entire North Shore out your door, this home is a gem and a must view.
The listing agent is the owner.
