Historic Duluth mansion lists for nearly $2 million

DULUTH — A Congdon Park former residence of Edward Congdon is currently listed for $1,950,000. Located at 415 N. Hawthorne Road, the 9,400-square-foot estate is open to new ownership. It is currently jointly owned by Mark and Susan Brown, and Elisabeth and Paul Helstrom, according to the St. Louis County property details report. The property served as a multi-generational safe haven, where up to 11 members of the Brown family stayed at one point during the COVID-19 pandemic. “We figured, if my wife and I, my daughter and her family, another daughter and her family, all sold their houses and moved in together, the net cost would be about the same as living separately,” Mark Brown said. “We fell in love with the property and the house, and decided that we would do it.” Surrounded by a brick privacy wall, a circular driveway leads up to the nine-bed, nine-bath single-family home.
