116 S Saint Marks Avenue

Completely remodeled with real care and a sharp eye for finish, this Brainerd ranch keeps its character where it counts. Mature trees frame the front, the original front porch has been renovated to welcome you in, and refinished original hardwood floors carry through rooms that otherwise feel brand new. The bones got attention too: a new roof and front gutters, updated plumbing, and a 200-amp electrical service upgrade with a new panel. The kitchen is the moment you'll remember. Completely remodeled beneath a soaring vaulted ceiling, it pairs built-in cabinetry with stainless steel appliances, including a Viking dishwasher and a new refrigerator. Built-ins continue into the separate dining room, and a wood-burning fireplace gives the home a natural gathering point on cool evenings. Ceiling fans and central air keep every season comfortable. New tile runs through the kitchen, the laundry room, and both bathrooms. The laundry adds built-in mudroom cubbies for coats, bags, and shoes, and both the kitchen and laundry were insulated with new spray foam. Then there's the primary suite. Its en suite bath is entirely new, centered on a massive microcement shower with dual shower heads, a freestanding soaking tub, built-in shelving, and an arched entrance to a private toilet room. Two more bedrooms share a hall bath with fresh blue tile and a new vanity. Mirrors in both bathrooms light up and include anti-fog settings. Out back, a new rear deck overlooks a large backyard that has been leveled, seeded, and covered with straw. A detached building offers storage and workshop space, with potential for ADU conversion subject to required permits and approvals. A driveway with off-street parking rounds out the practical side. Come see the craftsmanship up close. Improvements at a glance. New: roof, front gutters, rear porch and deck, primary en suite bath, tile flooring in the kitchen, laundry room, and both bathrooms, refrigerator, and lighted anti-fog mirrors in both bathrooms. Upgraded: 200-amp electrical service with a new electrical panel, and new spray foam insulation in the kitchen and laundry. Renovated or refinished: the original front porch and the original hardwood floors. The rear gutter is existing and was kept because it was in good condition. The Kitchen. The remodeled kitchen sits under a vaulted ceiling with built-in cabinetry and stainless steel appliances, including a Viking dishwasher. The dining room carries matching built-in cabinetry. The Grounds. The backyard is large and has been leveled, seeded, and covered with straw. Neighboring fences border portions of the yard; it is not fully enclosed. The detached building is an existing structure currently suited to storage and workshop use. Conversion to an accessory dwelling unit would be subject to required permits and approvals.
