2,865-Sq-Ft Ranch with Pool and Workshop on Half an Acre — $145,000

Fifty-one dollars a square foot gets you a lot of house in Wagoner. This 1960 ranch sits on a 0.52-acre corner lot with a circle drive, and the first thing you notice is that the scale of it makes sense for the land. It spreads out the way a single-story should when you have room to let it.

Inside you get 2,865 square feet across four bedrooms and three bathrooms, plus two separate living areas. That second living space is worth paying attention to. A lot of houses this size have one big room trying to do everything. Having two means you can actually close a door on the television, or the kids, or whatever you need distance from.

The in-ground pool is in the backyard. On a half-acre corner lot in Oklahoma, that is a reasonable place to spend a summer. The 2-car detached garage with workshop space is separate from the house, which matters if you use a garage for anything beyond parking. You can have music or tools running out there without it being the first thing anyone hears when they walk through the front door.

The house was built in 1960, which means it has been standing for 65 years. What that looks like now depends on what you can see in person. The agent description is thin on condition details, which means the walk-through carries more weight than usual. Come ready to look at the roof, the windows, the mechanicals. A house this size at this price likely has some things that need attention. The question is which things and how much.

The circle drive is a small detail that tends to mean more once you live with it. Not fighting to back out onto a corner lot every morning adds up.

At $145,000, you are buying a lot of square footage and a pool on a good-sized lot. The work required to confirm the price is worth it.
