Looking for a safe, quite, comfortable place to land in Duluth?

Hi! I’m Ryan. I’m a working professional with a quiet, clean, family-friendly home in the Congdon Park neighborhood, and I’m looking for a roommate. The arrangement would include use of a private bedroom in the basement with its own bathroom and adjacent entry. It also includes use of a room on the main level with a desk and TV, which would serve as a private study space / TV room / living room. The arrangement would cover everything — utilities, Wi-Fi, laundry, and full access to the rest of the home’s amenities. It’s a relaxed, respectful space in a family-style setup (me, my dog, and my teens every other week) — not just a room, but part of a household. Perfect for traveling nurses, grad students, or professionals who want an all-inclusive setup in a great location. Available December 1, 2025.

What is included:

  • All utilities + high-speed Wi-Fi

  • Quiet bedroom in the basement, with private bathroom and adjacent entrance.

  • Cozy main floor den with couch, flat-screen TV and desk (shared scheduling)

  • Updated kitchen with newer appliances, dishwasher, all cookware, food storage shelves, and a high-end espresso machine

  • Breakfast nook + formal dining room

  • Living room with open fireplace (fires allowed)

  • Three-season porch, back patio with Adirondack chairs, and BBQ grill

  • Wood-fired sauna (seats six, available 1–2 times/month by reservation)

  • Full Olympic weight set + pull-up bar + stationary training bike

  • Laundry included (regular clothes use)

  • Upright piano

  • Light storage space in the garage/basement

The ideal roommate is someone who is a working professional or in healthcare, education, or graduate school or medical school — someone used to respectful, mature, quiet living. Someone who values privacy but is okay with cordial shared living.

Why You’ll Love It:

You get a private, comfortable room with all the essentials, plus access to lovely common areas, sauna, and amenities — without the cost or hassle of renting a full apartment. You’ll be in a calm, safe neighborhood but with easy access to everything Duluth offers.

Arrangement 

  • Available December 1, 2025 

  • Background check, interview, and three professional references required.

  • Contribution of $900/month all-inclusive (due $450 on the 1st and 15th of the month)  

  • Security Deposit: $500 

  • Month-to-month w/ 60-day notice

  • Clearly outlined Memo of Understanding:  This is not an official rental, but rather an invitation to join the household, while contributing to share expenses.  

Household expectations:

  • Professional, respectful, clean family environment 

  • Quiet hours: 10 pm–7 am

  • Occasional guests okay (limit of two at a time), especially on weeks I don’t have my kids

  • Cleanliness: clean up after yourself in shared spaces (kitchen, common rooms)

  • No smoking

  • No heavy drinking or parties 

  • Street parking (always available)

  • Occasional flexibility (e.g. kids may use the living room more during their weeks)

  • Weekly household “chores” .
