Step into this thoughtfully maintained mid-century rambler and be surprised by its spacious 2,392 sq ft of finished living space. Nestled on a quiet no-outlet street in Brainerd's beloved Shady Brook neighborhood, the home combines timeless design with modern updates. Begin your mornings in the oversized 17x16 screened porch-elevated among mature trees-perfect for sipping coffee or winding down in the evening with a glass of wine.
A 2018 roof, maintenance-free stucco exterior, and an oversized attached garage ensure peace of mind. Inside, natural light floods the living room where original hardwood floors and plaster walls surround a classic brick fireplace. Two main-level bedrooms share a full bath, while the updated kitchen with brand new appliances is a chef's delight.
The finished lower level offers remarkable flexibility: a family room with an egress window makes for an ideal third bedroom, guest space, or creative studio. A second fireplace brings warmth and character, while the laundry and utility areas offer ample storage and workspace.
Whether you're dreaming of a cozy primary residence, launching your next investment property, or simply craving a peaceful lifestyle, 517 Cedar Street delivers comfort, charm, and convenience just minutes from parks, shops, and Hwy 210.
