The land is the story here. Three and a half acres of untimbered ground in Huntington, across two parcels, selling for $65,000. That is the number you need to sit with for a moment. Comparable homes in this zip code are trading at $108 per square foot. This one is at $34. Even accounting for unknown condition, that gap is hard to explain away.
The house itself is a 1951 build, 1,896 square feet, three bedrooms and two full baths. The upper level runs on a gas furnace. The lower level has its own wood-burning heat source, a full bath, and flex space that could work as a bedroom, office, or a room for guests who need some separation from the rest of the house. That lower level setup makes this a workable home for an extended family or for someone who needs dedicated space for work or a tenant.
What the listing does not tell you is anything about the systems. No mention of roof age, HVAC condition, plumbing, or electrical. The phrase "bring your ideas" is agent shorthand for "we are not going to make any representations about what you are walking into." That is the plain version of what this listing is. You are buying a house that needs work, on land that is priced well below where it should be, in a neighborhood close to the VA Medical Center and Spring Valley High School.
The 3.7 acres matters. Untimbered land in that quantity, across two parcels, gives you options that a standard city lot never would. You could keep the second parcel, build on it eventually, or sell it. You could expand. You could just have that much privacy and green space around you. In a dense market that is hard to find at any price, let alone this one.
The condition is the variable you cannot price from a listing page. Budget for surprises. But the land alone, at this number, makes it worth going to look.
