Talk about history: 226 Collins surely has some stories to tell. Originally built in 1890, this 1715 sf home has lived through 130+ years and is still going strong. The home was renovated in 2012 by the current owners and refreshed in 2023, including new quartz countertops, new appliances, fresh paint, updated dimmable lighting and more. High ceilings in the open living room, an extra room off the front bedroom (sitting room, office, play room, studio...), ample closet storage, a great front porch with partial cover and a generously-sized patio around back are all rareties in historic downtown homes, but wait... there's MORE! Check out the GENEROUSLY SIZED outbuilding: a 675 sf 2-car carport and workshop provide plenty of space to dream... opportunity abounds. Bring your imagination...
