Congdon Park runs uphill from London Road along Tischer Creek, with Glensheen at the lake end. Lots are often steep and terraced, and many were blasted out of the hillside when the homes went up, so stone retaining walls are part of the property you are selling.
I start with a walkthrough of the house and the yard. Retaining walls, downspouts and grading get the same attention as the kitchen, because a buyer's inspector will look at them. Then I pull closed sales from the East End that match your home's age, size, view and lot, not just its zip code.
The Duluth sewer inspection (City Code 43-33.4) is booked the week we list. Older East End homes are more likely to have footing drains or a house trap that needs work, and finding that out early keeps it off the closing table.
