1934 Montgomery Home, New Roof, Hardwood Floors Throughout — $120,000

The hardwood floors are the first thing. They run through the whole house, and in a 1934 build that has changed hands more than once over nine decades, that kind of continuity matters. Floors like that take refinishing, not replacing, and that is a meaningful distinction when you are looking at what a house will cost you after the purchase.

The house is 1,572 square feet with three bedrooms and one bathroom. At $120,000, that is $76 a square foot, which is low even for Montgomery. The roof was replaced in 2025, so that is done. New roofs on old houses are not glamorous, but they are the kind of thing that can quietly cost you $15,000 to $20,000 if you buy a house that needs one.

The kitchen has newer flooring, which the agent mentions separately from the hardwoods in the rest of the house. That suggests the kitchen was updated at some point, though the listing does not say when or to what extent. Worth looking at in person.

The backyard is fenced. That is useful if you have a dog or kids, or if you just want a defined outdoor space that feels like yours.

The house was built in 1934, and the listing does not say much about what has been done to it beyond the roof and the kitchen floor. One bathroom for three bedrooms is tight by modern standards, though it was the norm for houses of this era. The agent description is thin on specifics, so what you are working with here is: good structure, old construction, one confirmed major update, and a price that leaves room to do more.

This is a house where the work is not finished. Whether that appeals to you depends on what you are looking for. If you want something to move into and leave alone, this probably is not it. If you want a solid older house with a low entry point and room to put your own money into it, this one is worth a look.
