307 E 1st ST Fairmont, MN 56031

This charming two-story home in the delightful town of Fairmont beautifully blends industrial style with classic charm through its unique and modern updates.
The main level has been opened up to allow the living, dining, and kitchen areas to flow seamlessly. The brick fireplace, updated with a gas insert and modern mantle, serves as a cozy focal point in the living room. New flooring, recessed lighting, and an open stairway enhance the home's contemporary feel.
The kitchen shines with fresh sheetrock, trim, new electrical work, and custom cabinetry, complemented by stainless steel appliances, including a double oven and stylish undercounter fridge drawers. A quartz island with seating and a coffee bar adds both functionality and flair.
Industrial accents like exposed brick and ductwork, steel beams, rustic pipe railing, and modern light fixtures are perfectly balanced with traditional elements such as the original arched front door, paned windows, original hardware, and crisp white trim.
Upstairs, two spacious bedrooms offer comfort and style. The primary bedroom features a newly installed electric fireplace in a cozy window nook and wood look floors. The second bedroom features carpet and ceiling fan.
The full bath has been updated with bold wallpaper and a fresh coat of paint, while the large walk-in closet includes a vanity and a window for natural light.
The lower level is equally impressive, and continues the industrial theme with galvanized walls, an open ceiling, and rustic wood accents. The family room is finished with low-maintenance vinyl flooring and painted open ceiling. An additional partially finished room with cabinets and countertops provides flexibility as an office or hobby space.
The laundry room has been thoughtfully updated to include a 3/4 bathroom with a shower.
Outside, the brick-lined driveway leads to a one-car garage. The expansive backyard is home to a 20x9 outbuilding, and a stunning 15x10 tile patio, partially covered and perfect for relaxation.
The home's updates are extensive, including foam insulation in exterior walls, R50 attic insulation, drain tile, new exterior doors, and landscaping.
Located in a fantastic central location, this home is just four blocks from downtown Fairmont, two blocks from Veterans Park, and half a mile from Lake Sisseton, making it a true gem in the heart of the town.
