At $59,900, this house is selling for roughly half what houses in this zip code typically sell for. That number is worth sitting with. The median sale price in the area is around $130,000. This one is at $59,900. The price per square foot is $56 against a zip median of $76. You are getting 1,080 square feet of 1948 ranch house in the historic Guyandotte neighborhood, and you are getting there at a real discount.
The river boat ramp is close. If you fish, kayak, or just want water access without owning waterfront property outright, that proximity matters in a practical way. The covered deck looks out over the back of the lot, and there are two outbuildings for storage, tools, a workshop, whatever you need to put somewhere. The lot is level and backs to an alley, which helps with access. A pull-down attic adds a little more storage above.
Inside, you have two bedrooms, one bathroom, a kitchen with a stove and refrigerator that stay, a formal dining room, and a laundry room described as big. The metal roof is a real asset. Tilt-in windows make cleaning easier and suggest some updating has happened at some point. What you do not have is any information on the HVAC system or its age. That is the question mark here. The cosmetic condition of the interior is also an unknown from the listing. This is a house that needs to be walked before you commit.
The Guyandotte neighborhood has been around long enough to have its own identity inside Huntington, and Hagan Street sits close to a church and a school. The listing has been on the market 52 days in a market where prices are dropping, which means there is room to negotiate if you want it.
For someone who wants to own instead of rent, wants water nearby, and can handle some unknowns on condition, $59,900 is a number that makes this worth looking at seriously.
