Seventy dollars a square foot for a four-bedroom house with a metal roof, a new furnace, an updated electrical panel, a finished basement, and a two-stall attached garage. That's the number that stops you. For context, the median in this zip runs around $246 per square foot. The gap is wide enough that you have to slow down and look twice.
The house is an 1940 build on a corner lot in Harvey, and someone has put real work into it. The mechanical stuff that matters most has been addressed: forced-air furnace replaced, breaker panel updated, metal roof on top. Those three items together would run serious money as a to-do list. Here they're already done.
The layout gives you the main floor with a kitchen, dining area, living room, a full bathroom, and two bedrooms. The kitchen comes with appliances. Upstairs there are two more bedrooms and a bonus living space that could work as a family room, a playroom, or an office. The open staircase connects the levels. Flooring throughout most of the house is luxury vinyl plank, with carpet in the bedrooms.
The breezeway is the detail worth lingering on. It connects the house to the two-stall garage, and it has a wood-burning stove in it. That's a real room in a North Dakota winter, not just a pass-through. A heated connection between your house and your garage, with space to sit, is something you'd miss immediately if you didn't have it.
The basement has a renovated bathroom and a large recreation room with a window that opens. Washer and dryer hookups are down there too.
Outside, the backyard and side yard are fenced, there's mature tree cover, and you're walkable to stores and restaurants in town.
The market in Harvey moves with some uncertainty. Nineteen percent of listings have seen price drops, and the zip median is likely skewed by rural land comps. At $119,000, the downside is the market itself, not the house.
For a family that needs four bedrooms and a garage in North Dakota, this is a lot of house for the money, already fixed up and ready.
