Listing Description

Picture morning coffee in the dining nook, then stepping out onto 2 acres of mature trees and country views. This updated 1.5-story farmhouse in Collins, IA, pairs that setting with major work already done. Come in through the mudroom/drop zone and leave the day at the door.

The updated kitchen has new flooring, with a half bath just off it. The main floor also holds two bedrooms and a remodeled full bath with a soaker tub and tiled shower, made for slow evenings. On chilly Iowa nights, the stone fireplace with insert anchors the living room.

Upstairs, about 400 sq ft is currently used as the primary bedroom. All 2,274 sq ft is finished above grade, with a full unfinished basement. Outside, you'll find a chicken coop, a 2-car garage, and a large concrete pad for trailers, toys, or equipment.
