1939 Hazel Park Ranch with an Extra Buildable Lot Included — $119,000

The thing that stands out here is the lot. When you buy 41 E Maxlow, you also get 33 E Maxlow, the neighboring parcel, included in the sale. That means you can hold it as yard space, sit on it, or sell it off separately. For $119,000, that is a meaningful wrinkle worth thinking through before you move on.

The house itself is a 1939 ranch, 928 square feet, two bedrooms and one bath. Small but not cramped. The layout has a separate laundry room, which in a house this size shows some thought. The kitchen has counter space and cabinet space that the agent description makes a point of flagging, which in a sub-1,000-square-foot house from the late thirties probably means it was opened up or reworked at some point. The bathroom has been updated and has a walk-in shower.

The mechanical situation is clean. New furnace in 2024, new central air in 2022. Those are recent enough that you have some breathing room before anything big needs attention.

There is a one-car garage out back.

The agent mentions potential for a third bedroom. The floor plan would have to tell you more than the listing does, but with 928 square feet and two existing bedrooms, any third room is going to be small. Take that with some skepticism until you walk it.

What you are looking at is a tidy, well-maintained older ranch with updated systems, a garage, and a bonus parcel of land that could eventually put money back in your pocket. The house on its own is modest. The lot is the thing that makes this listing worth a closer look.
