The workshop with electricity is the first thing worth sitting with. On a 0.29-acre fenced lot in a small Texas Panhandle town, you get a separate structure wired and ready, a two-car garage, and a backyard with room to actually use. That combination at $150,000 is harder to find than the price suggests.
The house itself is a 1966 brick, 1,512 square feet, three bedrooms and two baths. Brick construction in this part of Texas means it has held up through a lot of weather, and the Class 4 metal roof means the next owner gets real hail protection without having to budget for it immediately. New vinyl plank through the living areas and new carpet in the bedrooms mean the interior presents clean. Systems age is unknown, so budget accordingly before you close.
Inside, the main living room has a brick fireplace and opens to the kitchen, which has a breakfast bar, double ovens, and cabinet space that reads as more than adequate for a working kitchen. There is a bonus room beyond the standard layout, large enough to function as a formal dining room, second sitting area, or something else depending on what you need. For a family that wants a dedicated space for work or a hobby that stays indoors, that extra room is genuinely useful.
The price per square foot runs about $99, which is well above the zip median of $36, though that median comes from a single comparable sale and should be treated loosely. The $150,000 asking price lands roughly 30 percent below the broader area median, though that figure is pulled upward by farm and acreage sales. Two-thirds of active listings in this market have seen price reductions, and this one has been on the market eight days against a median of twenty-six. That pace suggests it is moving, not sitting.
Groom sits just off I-40 with Amarillo about forty-five minutes west. If you need town but prefer to live outside it, the location works. The house is brick, the roof is done, the lot has room, and the workshop is wired. For someone who builds things, repairs things, or just needs space, the setup at this price makes sense.
