102 9th St Cloquet, MN 55720

Cloquet burned in the Great Fire of 1918; homes like this are what the city built back. Built in the early 1920s by Cloquet's Kaner family, a 47-year schoolteacher and a 1930s mayor among them, and held by one owner since 1990, this two-story preserves main-level woodwork that rarely reaches the market. A brick fireplace with vintage electric log set, flanked by glass-front bookcases, anchors the living room, open to the dining room's showpieces: a built-in buffet with mirrored back and glass-front cabinets, a bay window seat, and stained glass. The butler's pantry is the one buyers remember: floor-to-ceiling original cabinetry, frosted glass uppers, and the Kaner children's penciled height marks still climbing a door frame. The kitchen: double-drainboard cast iron sink, stained glass transom, all-new stainless appliances. Refinished original maple floors span both levels' principal rooms; new vinyl plank in kitchen, pantry, and rear entry. Front and back staircases lead to three bedrooms plus a bonus room with walkout patio and access to the walkup attic's expansion potential. A renovated full bath with clawfoot tub and marble-look tile; basement laundry, half bath, and painted, usable space. Modern where it counts: 200-amp electrical service, updated plumbing, on-demand water heater, hot water radiator heat, and new 30-year architectural shingles on house and garage, approximately 2024. The original covered porch and bench swing overlook the corner of 9th Street and Avenue F; out back, a deck. The 2-stall garage adds a covered carport and floored, windowed loft with expansion potential. Walking distance to downtown Cloquet, less than a mile from Pinehurst Park, and about 20 minutes to Duluth or Hermantown.
