1920 Arcadia Corner Lot with Original Hardwood and a Remodeled Kitchen — $149,900

The hardwood floors are original. In a house built in 1920, that means they've been there over a hundred years, and they're still worth keeping. That's the thing that stands out most here. A lot of old houses lose that somewhere along the way, and this one didn't.

The house is 1,084 square feet with two bedrooms and one bath. Small, but the layout uses what it has. Main-floor laundry and a mudroom keep the practical stuff out of the living space, which matters more in a smaller house than a bigger one. The kitchen and bathroom have both been remodeled, and the kitchen has solid surface countertops and updated lighting. The bones of the house are old; the parts you use daily have been brought current.

Upstairs there's a larger open space that could work as a second bedroom or an office. The listing calls it spacious, which with 1,084 total square feet means you should see it yourself before deciding what it means to you.

Outside, there's a large concrete patio and a corner lot, which gives you more usable outdoor space than a typical interior lot. Parking is available both off-street and on-street.

It's in Arcadia, Missouri, in the Arcadia Valley. The town is small. The school, local shops, and parks are close by. There's outdoor recreation in the area, though the listing doesn't say more than that.

At $149,900, you're getting a house with a real history and floors that prove it, updated where it counts, on a lot with some space around it. For someone who wants a small house that feels solid and has kept something worth keeping, this is worth a look.
