Discover the potential in this classic up-and-down duplex, ideally positioned in Duluth’s Central Hillside area with convenient access to downtown, local amenities, and the energy of the city. Built in 1906, the property offers the kind of character that is hard to recreate, including original trim details, tall windows, and the warmth of an established home with a story to tell. With two separate units, a total of 5 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, and approximately 1,850 finished square feet, this property provides flexibility for an investor, owner-occupant, or buyer looking for a project with meaningful upside. Each unit is equipped with its own range and refrigerator, while the partial unfinished basement includes washer and dryer hookups, creating a practical shared laundry setup. Forced-air natural gas heat, city water, city sewer, and vinyl exterior add to the property’s functional foundation. This is not a turnkey property, but it offers a solid base for someone ready to bring fresh vision and care to the next chapter. There is deferred maintenance and cosmetic work to address, yet the home’s layout, existing duplex configuration, and retained architectural details create a compelling canvas for improvement. Whether your plans include updating finishes, improving rental performance, or creating a home while offsetting expenses with rental income, there is room here to make the property your own. The upper unit currently has an active rental license. The lower unit was previously licensed, and that license has lapsed. Buyers should verify licensing requirements and the process for reinstatement with the City of Duluth. With its established two-unit setup, shared laundry potential, and central location, this duplex is a chance to invest in a property with character, utility, and room to grow.
