1930 Buxton Cabin-Style Home with Workshop Shed — $95,000

The thing that gets your attention here is how small and self-contained this place is. Built in 1930, 881 square feet, one bedroom upstairs, one bath. It has the proportions of a cabin, and apparently that carries through to the way it looks and feels inside. Whether that reads as tight or right-sized depends entirely on what you want from a house.

The kitchen has been updated with newer cabinets and appliances. That matters in a house this old because it means someone already spent money on the part of the house you use every day. The living space is what it is at this square footage. The upstairs bedroom is described as spacious, which is a relative term, but in a house under 900 square feet it probably means the bedroom got the room.

Outside is where the listing gets more interesting. There is a fenced backyard and a shed with enough room to use as a workshop. If you need a place to actually do something with your hands, that shed changes the math on a property like this. A lot at this price point in a small town gives you the shed but not the space inside it. This one seems to have both.

Buxton is about 20 minutes from Grand Forks, which is a university town and the largest city in the region. That distance is close enough to be useful and far enough that you are still in a small town when you come home. Whether that appeals to you depends on why you are looking at a 95,000 dollar house in the first place.

The agent description is light on specifics. No mention of when the kitchen work was done, what the lot size is, or what condition the shed is in. So the picture here is genuinely incomplete. What you have is a 94-year-old house with some updates, a workshop shed, a fenced yard, and a price that reflects all of the above honestly.
