Hobart 1962 Ranch on 0.41 Acres with Hardwood and a 2.5-Car Garage — $129,899

The lot is what you notice first. At 0.41 acres, it includes the house parcel and the adjacent vacant lot to the south, which comes with the sale. That's a lot of room for a Hobart property at this price. What you do with the extra land is your business, but having it means you have options that a standard city lot doesn't give you.

The detached garage is 2.5 cars wide. That's useful space, and it's separate from the house, which some people prefer.

Inside, the house is 1,068 square feet with three bedrooms and one bath, built in 1962 on a crawl space. The layout is straightforward. Hardwood floors run through the living room, hallway, and all three bedrooms. They need refinishing, the agent said so plainly, but the wood is there. That's better than pulling up carpet and finding nothing worth keeping underneath.

The mechanicals have been touched relatively recently. Windows, central AC, and water heater are all around five years old. Nobody knows the exact age, per the agent, but they're updated. That matters when you're buying a house from 1962. The things that typically need replacing first have already been replaced.

One bathroom for three bedrooms is tight if multiple people are getting ready at the same time. That's the layout. The house doesn't have a second bath.

The city water hookup is confirmed. The agent also mentions this as a candidate for a rental or a flip, and the math probably works one of those ways. But it's also just a house with hardwood floors and a generous lot for under $130,000 in a real town with real infrastructure. If you want to live in it, refinish the floors and start there.

The agent description is thin on interior detail beyond the floors and mechanicals, so what the kitchen and bath actually look like is unclear without seeing it in person.
