House hunting in Duluth












I've been down in Duluth for about 10 days now Julie and I spent several days checking out open houses and an assortment of listed homes in different parts of the city. Her agent just happened to know of a home that was across the back lane from her house that was being re-furbished and thought it mite appeal to Jewels. Well, my girl fell in love with the house and has drawn up an offer which will be presented later this week to the owner. The house is small - just the right size for an "older" couple with no full time kid boarders. It has been totally gutted and re constructed using high end windows, water heaters, insulation, appliances, a huge deck and whatever else you can think of. We both really love the house and are anticipating that the offer will be accepted... maybe with a few minor changes but we are anticipating moving her into the new home for November 15.

The view of Lake Superior is.. well, downright SUPERIOR, to say the least. It's located on Fern street which is high up on the hill above the Skyline parkway and pretty well straight north of Canal Park. Jewels is so very happy with her almost new home and we can't wait to move her stuff into the house and of course, buy a whole bunch of new furniture!!!!

The photos showing the view from the deck do not do justice to the actual view of the Lake which, on a sunny clear day is outstanding and will always be one of the highlights of this home.

Life is Good!
