The price is the first thing to sit with. At $86 per square foot, this is 27% below the zip code median, in a market where homes are selling in four days at over asking. Something priced this far under tends to be rough, or small, or in a location that explains it. This one is none of those things. It's a fully remodeled 1920 bungalow in good condition, with a two-car garage and a dry basement, and it sold fast enough that you'd need to have been watching closely to catch it.
The remodel appears thorough. New furnace and central air in 2023, new water service and meter in 2025, professionally insulated throughout. Those are the unglamorous line items that matter most in a house this age — the stuff that keeps you warm, keeps your pipes reliable, and keeps your utility bills from being a surprise every month. Someone did this work properly before listing, which is the difference between a 1920 house that's a project and one that's ready to live in.
The layout gives you 1,100 square feet across two bedrooms and one bath. There's a front porch with screening and a porch swing that stays. The laundry room is 11 by 9 feet, which is genuinely large for a house this size — that's not a closet with a washer hookup, that's actual laundry room. The basement is dry. All appliances convey: stove, refrigerator, washer, dryer.
The two-car garage has finished walls and an opener. For a bungalow at this price, that's a real asset. Storage, workspace, parking for two — it adds daily utility that a detached single-car doesn't.
The honest limit here is size. Two bedrooms and one bath works for one person, a couple, or a small family, and that's the ceiling. If you need more room than that, this house won't grow with you. But at $94,500, fully updated, with a garage and a yard and appliances included, what you're getting is a house you can walk into and actually live in — without a renovation budget sitting behind it.
