The oversized insulated and heated 2-car garage is truly a standout feature, offering exceptional space for vehicles, storage, hobbies, or a workshop while providing year-round comfort. A backyard driveway adds valuable off-street parking, making room for guests, trailers, recreational vehicles, or additional toys. The generous yard offers plenty of room for entertaining, gardening, pets, or simply relaxing outdoors, while the updated front and back decks provide the perfect setting for morning coffee or summer evenings with family and friends. Major improvements give buyers confidence for years to come, including a new high-efficiency furnace and central air conditioning (2025), new water heater (2021), professionally waterproofed basement with foundation drainage system (2023), insulated garage with natural gas heat (2019), and a brand-new garage roof scheduled for installation prior to closing. Additional updates include refreshed drop ceiling tiles on the main level and numerous cosmetic improvements that reflect pride of ownership throughout. Conveniently located near schools, parks, shopping, restaurants, and just minutes from Duluth, this home offers small-town charm with easy access to everyday amenities. Whether you're searching for your first home, looking for extra garage space, or simply wanting a property where the major projects have already been completed, this Proctor gem checks all the boxes.

How SODL buyer credits work

When you buy with SODL, the brokerage charges a flat $3,000 platform fee at closing. The remaining buyer-side commission (typically 3% of the purchase price) is credited directly back to you at closing, reducing the cash you bring to the table.

  • Tour homes with SODL’s flexible showing network
  • Submit offers and manage your transaction through the platform
  • Keep more money at closing through transparent flat-fee pricing

A clear, modern way to buy with expert guidance and meaningful savings.
