Overview

Description

Is there a 2-bed townhome on North Long Lake that offers lakefront living and short-term rental income? Yes—and it’s available now in the heart of the Brainerd Lakes Area. Imagine waking up to calm water views, stepping onto your lakeside deck with coffee in hand, and heading down to your private dock for a quiet paddle or swim. This cheerful 2-bed, 2-bath walkout townhome delivers a true lake lifestyle with 209 feet of shared south-facing shoreline, a sandy beach, and room to relax around a wood-burning fire pit after a day on the water. Inside, the open concept design invites connection and ease. The skylit kitchen and bright living space flow toward the lake, framed by large windows and a retractable awning over the deck. Two ground-level patios offer the perfect spot to grill, gather, or unwind. Comfort is year-round thanks to central heat and A/C, ceiling fans, an attached insulated garage, and a second detached two-stall garage for gear and storage. The HOA covers lawn care and snow removal—so you can focus on the moments that matter, not the maintenance. Whether you're here to unplug or turn key and cash flow, this home is already operating as a successful short-term rental with great reviews, giving you flexibility and value. Tucked off Ojibwa Road with quick access to Hwy 371, you're just a short drive to Costco in Baxter (10–15 mins), Gull Lake's boat launch (7 miles), Paul Bunyan Trail, BIR, and downtown Brainerd. Fishing, boating, snowmobiling, or just soaking in the view—this 2-bed townhome on North Long Lake delivers a lifestyle worth living, and sharing.
