The park is the thing. This 1923 house on Kurtz Avenue backs directly to Joannes Park, which means your backyard ends where green space begins. No fence between you and the East River Trail. That's a genuinely unusual setup for a house at this price point, and it's the kind of thing you'd pay a premium for if it were packaged differently.
The house itself is 1,103 square feet, two bedrooms, one bath. A hundred-year-old Green Bay house at that size is tight but workable for two people, or one person who wants a city lot with a real garage. The two-car garage is a meaningful asset here, whether you're using it for vehicles, storage, or a workshop. Older homes in this range often come with one stall or none.
It's an estate sale, and the listing leans hard into "Pinterest canvas" language, which is another way of saying the interior needs work. No system dates are given, which means age of HVAC, roof, and mechanicals is unknown going in. You'd want those answered before closing, not after. The condition score reflects that uncertainty. This is a house you walk into with eyes open and a contractor on speed dial, not one you hand off keys to and call done.
The price is where this gets interesting. At $119,900, it's coming in around $109 per square foot against a zip median closer to $188. That's a real gap. The zip median sale price is pulled up by mixed inventory, but even accounting for that, this house is priced well below what comparable finished homes are moving for. Green Bay's east side has been competitive, with recent sales closing above list. That means the floor here is real and buyers are showing up ready.
For someone willing to spend money on cosmetics and do the due diligence on systems, the park access, the garage, and the price combine into something worth looking at hard.
Originally listed for $119,900, this property sold for $136,000 on October 23, 2026 after 14 days on the market.
