Charming farmhouse on 2.26 acres in Howard. Recently updated with new plumbing all the way from the well, new kitchen, new flooring, paint and drywall in 2025. New metal roof 2021, septic system replaced in 2016 and a 1620 square foot two-story workshop built in 2007. The home features a welcoming covered porch for morning sun and afternoon shade, leading into an entryway and a main level with two living areas, bright open kitchen, full bathroom and one bedroom.
