601 Washington St Brainerd, MN 56401

A historic corner mixed-use building located at the intersection of Washington Street (Highway 210) and South 6th Street, directly across from a white water tower, with frontage on Washington Street. The property is configured with a lower-level restaurant space designed for food and beverage use and includes existing commercial kitchen infrastructure, along with an extensive inventory of commercial equipment and fixtures that were previously included with the restaurant area. The upper levels provide residential rental units totaling 8 apartments, and an additional commercial rental space fronts Washington Street. Access is supported by both on-street parking and a large off-street parking lot. The building’s historical use evolved from an office for the Brainerd Sawmill to later service connected to the Northern Pacific railroad depot, and it was subsequently used as Van’s Cafe and later the Sawmill Inn. It has benefited from corridor improvements associated with major MnDOT reconstruction of the Washington Street corridor, including streetscape, sidewalk, and trail connection work.
