Built with character and filled with potential, this charming vintage Brainerd home offers a rare opportunity for investors, renovators, or buyers looking to build sweat equity in a desirable in-town location. Situated on a generous .35-acre lot with alley access, this 1.5-story home is just minutes from downtown Brainerd, the high school, shopping, restaurants, and everyday conveniences.
Inside, you’ll find over 2,235 finished square feet featuring 4 bedrooms plus a dedicated office/den, providing flexibility for remote work, hobbies, or additional guest space. The spacious main floor primary suite is a standout feature rarely found in homes of this era, while the wood-burning fireplace creates a warm focal point in the family room. Original hardwood floors add timeless character throughout portions of the home, complemented by a mix of carpeting and vintage charm waiting to be restored.
Built in 1946 with an addition completed in 1960, the home includes 1.75 bathrooms, two forced-air furnaces, city water and sewer, a full unfinished basement, and a detached 22’ x 24’ garage.
This property does need updates and TLC and is being sold as-is, but the bones, size, location, and character create an incredible opportunity for the right buyer to bring new life into a classic home.
Whether you’re searching for your next renovation project, investment property, or a chance to create your dream home with instant equity potential, this property is packed with possibilities. Schedule your showing today and imagine the transformation waiting at 1016 S. 6th Street in Brainerd!
