1900 Marshall Four-Bedroom with Two-Car Garage — $139,900

The house is 125 years old and still has four bedrooms and two full baths inside 1,300 square feet. That is a reasonable amount of space organized in a way that actually works for daily life, which is not a given in a house this age.

The main floor carries two bedrooms, a full bath, and laundry. That setup matters if stairs are a problem for anyone in the house, or if you just want the option to keep everything on one level. The living room faces south, so it gets good light through the day. The kitchen has an eat-in area, which means you have a place to sit and have coffee without needing a separate dining room.

Upstairs are two more bedrooms. One of them has its own bathroom attached, which gives whoever sleeps up there some privacy from the rest of the house.

Outside, there is a large concrete pad between the house and the detached two-car garage. Parking a couple of cars off the street and still having room to move around is a practical thing in a neighborhood like this. There is also a grassy area that could take a garden or give kids somewhere to be.

The roof was replaced about four years ago. On a house from 1900, knowing the roof is recent takes one variable off the table.

The agent description is thin, so there is not much detail on the interior finishes, the condition of the original woodwork, or what shape the basement is in. Those are worth asking about before you go see it. At $139,900 for four bedrooms in Marshall, the price is low enough that it earns a closer look, but you want eyes on the details a listing this spare tends to leave out.
