At $44 a square foot, this house is priced more like a teardown than a 2,516-square-foot three-story with original hardwood floors and a brick fireplace. The zip median sits at $149 per square foot. That gap is wide enough to pay attention to.
The house was built in 1900 and it reads like it. Three stories, four bedrooms, two full baths plus a half bath on the third floor, an attached garage, and a double lot on a dead-end street. That combination, at this price, would be unusual in most markets. In South Range, where over half of active listings have taken a price cut, it still stands out.
The main floor has a living room with the brick fireplace, a separate family room, a kitchen, and a full bath. Four bedrooms sit on the second floor with another full bath. The third floor is finished and has a half bath, so it works as a fifth sleeping space, a home office, or just a room for a kid who wants to pretend they have their own apartment. The hardwood floors run through much of the house and appear to be original, which means they have character and probably need attention in equal measure.
The condition score reflects the honest situation. The listing says updates and work are needed, and there are no dates on any of the systems, which means you go in without knowing how old the furnace, the roof, or the wiring is. That is the main risk here, and it is a real one. A house this old with no disclosed system ages could have one expensive surprise behind every wall, or it could be fine. You would need to find out before committing.
What the price makes possible is a large, structurally interesting old house that a family could actually grow into. Four bedrooms plus a finished third floor. A garage. Room on the double lot to do something with outside. At $109,700, there is meaningful room between the purchase price and what the work might cost, and still come out well below what comparable space sells for in the area.
