The price is the first thing worth sitting with. The zip median for sold homes is around $180,000. This one is listed at $130,000 — about 28% below that, and at $98 per square foot against a median closer to $124. For a solid brick ranch on a third of an acre with a detached garage and two carports, that gap is hard to ignore.
The house is 1,334 square feet, three bedrooms, two baths, built in 1960. Brick ranches from this era tend to hold up well structurally. The bones here are the exterior itself: brick does not rot, does not need painting, and does not apologize for its age the way wood siding does. What you are buying is a house that has been standing for 65 years and will likely keep standing.
The agent description leans on phrases like "make your own," which is the polite way of saying there is cosmetic work ahead. No system dates are listed anywhere, which means you need to ask about the roof, HVAC, and water heater before you do anything else. The listing has been sitting for 114 days, and the market here has seen price cuts on a third of listings with a sale-to-list ratio of about 94 cents on the dollar. That is a buyer's market in plain terms, and it gives you room to negotiate.
The lot is 0.33 acres, which is a real backyard. The parking situation is genuinely unusual for a house at this price: an attached one-car carport, a detached garage, and a second carport off the garage. If you have vehicles, tools, a trailer, or hobbies that need covered space, this property handles that in a way most houses twice the price do not.
A family that wants a low-maintenance exterior, room outside to breathe, and covered parking for multiple vehicles can do a lot with this. The cosmetic work is the price of admission, and at $130,000, the admission is low.
Originally listed for $130,000, this property sold for $132,000 on October 22, 2026 after 32 days on the market.
