The sunroom is the first thing worth your attention here. On a 1930 house this small, 871 square feet of living space, a sunroom is extra room that actually changes how the house feels. It pulls light in, gives you somewhere to sit that is not the living room or the bedroom, and on a quiet dead-end street in Narrows, it probably gets used.
The house has two bedrooms and one bath, so the size is what it is. You are not getting a family home. You are getting a small, old house with a sunroom and a private setting. That is a specific thing, and if it fits your life, it fits well. If you need more room, it does not.
What makes 1930 construction worth a second look is that the bones tend to be honest. These houses were built before builders started cutting corners in ways the framing hides. The wiring has been updated, the HVAC has been updated, and the windows are new. Those are the three things that usually turn an old house into a money pit, and here they are already addressed. What remains is cosmetic, which means paint, floors, fixtures, the things you can do at your own pace and on your own budget.
The price is $131,900, which runs about 13 percent above the zip code median. That is a real gap on a house this size. The market here is slow, 257 days on market is the norm for the zip, and there is limited sales data to compare against. The price could stick or it could move, but you are going in with eyes open that the ask is above what the surrounding area typically produces.
What you get for that price is a house that has already cleared its hardest hurdles. The systems work. The location is quiet. The sunroom adds something most houses this price and size do not have. For someone who wants a small, private place to put their own stamp on, this is a workable starting point.
