The price is where to start. At $149,900, this 1909 house in Huron is running about 27% below the zip code's median sale price. For 2,248 square feet, that works out to roughly $67 per square foot. Those numbers together are hard to find anywhere, let alone in a house this size with this much original character still intact.
Built in 1909, the bones here are over a century old, and the house still reads like it. Classic details throughout, the kind of thing that either pulls you in immediately or doesn't, and there's no faking it either way. The enclosed porch off the entry is a real feature, not a converted breezeway or a screen porch someone tacked on. It adds livable square footage and a transition between outside and inside that newer houses skip entirely. The forest green entry door is a small thing that lands.
The kitchen has been remodeled and has an open layout. That's meaningful in a house this age, where original kitchens were typically closed off and small. The main floor includes laundry, which matters practically in a three-bedroom house.
Three bedrooms, one bath. For a family, the bathroom count is worth thinking through honestly. The rest of the square footage gives you room, but one bath in a house this size is a tradeoff that shapes daily life.
Here's what the listing data leaves open: no dates on the roof, HVAC, or windows. A house from 1909 at this price point carries the real possibility that some of those systems are overdue. You'd want to know before you close, and an inspection isn't optional here.
What the price makes possible is a large, historic house in South Dakota for under $150,000, with an updated kitchen already done and enough space for three people to spread out comfortably. The work ahead is an honest unknown. The size and the price together are not.
