A covered front porch, welcoming living spaces, and a backyard designed for gathering set the tone at this thoughtfully updated East Brainerd home. Situated on half an acre, the four-bedroom, three-bath residence offers 2,448 square feet of living space, generous storage, and inviting places to spend time indoors and out. French doors open to a dedicated home office or sitting area, while a custom solid-wood staircase adds character to the interior. Waterproof and dog-proof stone-composite flooring extends throughout the main level, complemented by fresh interior paint and a beautifully remodeled main-level bathroom. The kitchen offers abundant cabinetry and thoughtful storage, with an updated refrigerator and dishwasher. The living room opens to multiple deck areas that create distinct spaces for outdoor dining and lounging. A dedicated grilling area and covered prep station with hot and cold water make the backyard especially well suited to hosting. The rear decks have been refinished, and low-maintenance Trex decking on the front porch provides another spot to settle in and enjoy the surroundings. Practical improvements include HVAC system replaced in 2023, professionally cleaned and sealed ductwork, a HE tankless gas water heater installed in 2021, replacement Champion windows, and upgraded attic insulation with temperature-controlled ventilation fans. Two separately accessed, floored attic storage areas provide additional room for seasonal items. The septic system was serviced in 2025. With professionally cleaned interiors and upstairs carpeting, this home is ready for its next chapter--offering flexible space, established surroundings, and outdoor living in East Brainerd. Select photos have been virtually staged to illustrate furniture placement and potential use of the spaces.
