Location: 3328 E Superior Street, Duluth, Minnesota

Year Built: 1959

Footprint: 2,452 square feet (three bedrooms, three baths)

Lot Size: 0.34 acres

From the agent: "This home speaks to the heart of what we mean when we say a ‘once in a lifetime opportunity.’ The midcentury-modern home, known as the Erickson House, is built on top of a steel bridge spanning a creek that flows through the Congdon Estate to Lake Superior. Built of steel, concrete, and slate in 1959, this time capsule is ready to be restored and polished. The wall of windows in the open-concept living room and primary bedroom looks into the trees, suspended in nature. This engineering feat has stood solid through its 60 years, and is ready to once again shine."
