Available APPROX. Oct. 15, 2025: This charming one-story ranch-style well-kept 3 bedroom / 1.5 bath home sits on almost a half acre in north Fort Collins, with a country feel on an expansive property. The property is located off of Douglas Road just... east of Terry Lake Rd. / Highway 1, about a 10-minute drive north from Old Town Ft. Collins.

The ~1600 sq. ft. home has a large 2-car attached garage (additional ~730 sq. ft. garage space) + adjacent additional enclosed storage room within the garage.

The property is spacious with a large fully-fenced-in backyard which includes a 20'x14' redwood deck, and has a lovely covered open front porch on the front yard side which looks out over a cat-tail field natural open space area. The yard has plenty of room for a garden, mature trees, a maintained lawn, perennials, and privacy abound.

A refinished large office / studio / all-purpose room includes sliding glass doors opening south to the large cat-tail field, and a south-facing covered front porch with views of the foothills ideal for a couple of rocking chairs. The surrounding area is quiet and peaceful.

The home features stainless steel appliances (fridge, gas range, and dishwasher), and upgrades of granite countertops, newer ceiling fans in all bedrooms, a fully-renovated full-bathroom with tiled shower and floor, a half-bathroom off the master bedroom, and includes newer washer & dryer appliances in good working condition.

New hot water heater (2021), new furnace (2022), and new septic system (2025) installed to bring all major home systems up to current and excellent working condition. The home does not have air conditioning, but tenants may consider window units in bedroom(s) if desired.

A 10'x10' storage shed and a separate 10'x12' greenhouse stand alone in the northeast corner of the yard. Pets will be considered (with an additional non-refundable deposit)- even a dog or cat will appreciate the ample space of the yard and the quiet dirt road that runs around it.

Enjoy the serenity of north Fort Collins on an alluring spacious property, without giving up proximity to down town Ft. Collins. Owners are happy to discuss the property or rental terms further. Must see to fully appreciate!
