The unfinished walk-out basement is already stubbed and framed for an additional bedroom and bathroom, creating a fantastic opportunity to expand the home's living space with a guest suite, recreation room, workshop, or additional storage. Step outside and discover what truly makes this property special, a nearly half-acre private garden oasis inspired by the charm of an English cottage garden. Mature trees, flowering shrubs, and hundreds of perennial flowers create a peaceful setting filled with birds, butterflies, and seasonal color. A natural creek runs through the back of the property, flowing over large boulders and adding the calming sound of water to the landscape. The established garden includes fruit trees and edible plantings such as figs, pears, strawberries, blueberries, peaches, paw paws, kiwi, and passion fruit, along with asparagus, Jerusalem artichokes, and a variety of herbs including lemon balm, chocolate mint, and perilla. Raised beds, multiple seating areas, and a mini greenhouse allow for year-round gardening, while a 30x30 fenced enclosure provides additional space for gardening, pets, or hobbies. Hampton Place is known for its friendly, walkable atmosphere and active community lifestyle, offering swim and tennis amenities, pickleball groups, fitness classes, book clubs, and neighborhood events throughout the year. The neighborhood backs directly to McDaniel Farm Historical Park, providing easy access to wooded trails, a playground, picnic areas, and a dog park. Conveniently located near Highways 85 and 316, the home is just minutes from Duluth Town Center, where residents enjoy festivals, live music, farmers markets, restaurants, and charming local shops. The property is also located near highly rated schools. Additional inclusions such as refrigerator, washer, dryer, and freezer, garage storage, and workshop bench make this home truly ready for its next chapter. This is a rare opportunity to own a home that combines natural beauty, thoughtful updates, and expansion potential in one of the area's most welcoming communities.
