Renovated, New Roof, Historic, Character Home
Someone went through this place and actually finished the job. New roof, new HVAC, new kitchen, new flooring, fresh paint. That is the whole list, and it covers the things that matter. A lot of renovated houses get one or two of those and call it done. This one got all of them.
The house is a 1940 bungalow on East Scott Street in Kirksville. At 948 square feet, it is small but not cramped in the way that reads as a problem. Two bedrooms, one bath. The layout is what you would expect from a house of that era and size, which means rooms with definition rather than everything bleeding into everything else.
The kitchen is new. The listing does not get specific about what went in there, so the details will be in the photos, but the upgrade is recent and intentional. Same with the flooring throughout. Fresh paint means the walls are clean and ready, which sounds minor until you have moved into a place that needed it.
The front porch is the other thing. It faces the street and it looks usable, the kind of porch you actually sit on rather than walk past. For a house this size, outdoor space like that adds something real.
Kirksville is a college town. Truman State University is there, which shapes the rental market and the general activity level of the area. Whether that matters to you depends on what you are looking for. It is relevant either way.
At $112,000 for a house where the major systems are already done, the math is straightforward. You are not budgeting for a new roof in year two or figuring out what to do about the heat. That work is behind you before you move in. For a first house or a rental, that is a meaningful place to start.
