Nestled on a serene 1.25-acre lot, this delightfully updated 4-bedroom, 2-bath split-level gem blends rustic tranquility with modern convenience. With 1,816 finished sq ft of refreshed living space, you’ll love how this home wraps comfort, functionality, and style into one charming package. Step inside and be wowed by the newly refinished hardwood floors and an open-concept living area that’s both welcoming and airy. The chef in you will appreciate the brand-new kitchen appliances — dishwasher, microwave, fridge, and range oven — while guests will admire the stylish new recessed lighting and ceiling fans throughout. The updates continue with fresh paint throughout the interior, new carpet in the hallway, two bedrooms, and stairs, and new flooring in the kitchen, upper-level bathroom, lower level, and laundry room. You'll also find all-new electrical switches, outlets, and covers, new curtains and rods (both thermal and blackout), and even new closet shelving in all bedrooms and bathroom closets — because who doesn’t love a well-organized closet? Downstairs? Oh, it’s practically brand new! There’s a new ceiling and walls, new sheetrock and trim in the lower-level bedroom, and a vapor barrier added to the crawl space for extra peace of mind. Don’t forget the big-ticket upgrades — brand-new ductwork, new furnace, and a new A/C coil and condenser mean this home is as efficient as it is beautiful. And to top it all off, a pre-listing home inspection has already been completed for your convenience — one less thing to worry about! Outside, enjoy Minnesota evenings on the spacious deck, gather around the firepit, or get creative in the 480 sq ft insulated workshop (which can easily convert back to a 2-car garage). A separate 1-car garage and carport offer additional storage, and the yard is a private, nature-filled oasis with wildflowers, mature trees, and plenty of room to roam. All this, just minutes from the restaurants, shops, and parks of downtown Brainerd and the natural beauty of Northland Arboretum. If you’re looking for updated living with a touch of country charm, this home checks all the boxes — and then some!
