The price is where you start. Coffeyville's median sale price in this zip is around $179,000. This one is listed at $140,000, which puts it roughly $39,000 below that line. For a 4-bedroom, 3-bath house with 1,868 square feet, a fireplace, and a pool in the backyard, that gap is the whole story.
The pool is above-ground, which some people cross their arms at, but this one has a raised wood deck built around it, which changes the feel considerably. It becomes a place you actually use, not just a liner you have to maintain. The backyard with that setup could carry a summer.
Inside, you have a fireplace in the main living area, three full bathrooms across four bedrooms, and enough square footage that people are not on top of each other. The agent mentions 2,352 total square feet when you include the attached garage, so there is storage and parking built in. For a family of four, or close to it, the layout works without asking anyone to sacrifice.
What you do not get is clarity on condition. The house was built in 1988 and the listing says almost nothing about systems, updates, or what has been touched and when. No roof date, no HVAC info, no kitchen or bath renovation history. At 36 years old, none of that is automatically a problem, but it is a real unknown. A thorough inspection matters here more than usual.
Location is pretty straightforward. A few blocks from LeClere Park, a country club, and an elementary school. That is a practical cluster of amenities, and for a family with kids it would get daily use.
The market in this zip is slow right now. This listing has been sitting 71 days, and about 39% of active listings have taken a price drop. That context gives a buyer room to negotiate. The price is already below market. With the unknowns around condition, there may be more movement available.
What $140,000 gets you here is real square footage, three bathrooms, a fireplace, and a pool setup that is genuinely usable. The due diligence is on you, but the price gives you a cushion to work with if something comes up.
