216 2nd St SE Orange City, IA 51041 | Residential

Tucked away on an impressive .86-acre lot in the heart of Orange City, 216 2nd St SE is one of the community’s most iconic homes—a private hidden gem where mid-century character, thoughtful updates, and unforgettable spaces come together. Built in 1961, this distinctive ranch rambler offers more than 4,254 finished square feet with 3 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, multiple living areas, a primary suite, and several versatile bonus spaces. From flooring to ceilings to walls to elements of stone, granite, brick, and ceramic, character is woven into nearly every room. A double-sided wood-burning fireplace and additional gas fireplace add warmth, while the show stopping kitchen is truly in a league of its own—featuring THREE islands, a Sub-Zero refrigerator/freezer, Thermador gas cooktop, Dacor double ovens, and an incredible amount of storage. And just when you think you’ve seen it all, the lower-level bathroom reveals an unexpected bonus: a private sauna. Outside, the property is every bit as impressive, designed for both entertaining and retreat with a sprawling 900-square-foot back patio and built-in fire pit, an additional patio off the front garage, landscape lighting, sprinkler system, two separate garages, and a storage shed. Thoughtfully updated over the years while preserving its mid-century modern soul, notable improvements include a rock roof and gutters in 2009, glass garage door and water heater in 2022, and garage opener in 2026. This isn’t simply a home—it’s a property you have to experience to fully appreciate. Avg utilities $350/mo. Seller is also a licensed real estate agent and listing agent is a relative of seller.
