Built by the Congdon family in 1971, this 5 bed, 7 bath home is situated on 2 acres and 250 feet of pristine Lake Superior shoreline. Set back from the road and surrounded by dense woods, this “Big Lake” property offers rare privacy along the Duluth section of London Rd. The large, tiled foyer greets you as you enter this unique, well-constructed home. Walk straight into the spacious living room with a cozy gas fireplace and savor the first of many panoramic lake views. Steal away for awhile in the adjacent sunroom with floor-to-ceiling windows. And you won’t be bumping into each other as you prepare a meal in this 400+ square foot kitchen, complete with chic St. Charles cabinetry and a convenient breakfast nook. Enjoy your carefully-crafted dinner in the formal dining room while watching the ships out on the water. Looking for the perfect spot to curl up with your morning coffee and a good book? In addition to the sunroom, the 3-season porch off the kitchen extends a quiet reprieve. There’s also a convenient main-level bathroom. Head up to the second floor where you will discover all five large bedrooms. You’ll want for nothing with a 500+ square foot master suite that features a bathroom, fireplace, walk-in closet, attached sitting area, and yes, another panoramic lake view! The next bedroom, which could also function as a sizable second-floor family room, boasts an attached bath and a bar. Two of the three remaining bedrooms have attached bathrooms as well! Gather with family or friends in your enormous basement rec room with a bar, wood-burning fireplace, kitchen, and bathroom. With three additional fireplaces and 6-car garage capacity, this large, private home on the shores of Gitche Gumee will delight even the most selective buyers!
