The ceiling is what gets you. In a 1,014-square-foot house built in 1956, you don't expect to walk into a living room with a vaulted wood ceiling and exposed beams, but that's what this one has. It makes the space feel bigger than the square footage suggests, and it gives the house a personality that most renovated small homes don't bother with.
The kitchen follows through. Wood cabinetry, butcher block countertops, stainless appliances, and a large island with seating. For a house this size, that's a real kitchen. Someone thought about how the space would actually get used.
The renovation is thorough. New roof, new mini-split, fully remodeled bathroom, new flooring, new carpet in the bedrooms, fresh paint throughout, new fixtures in the kitchen and bath. The bedrooms have ceiling fans. The exterior has dark trim against a lighter body, which works. This house has been redone properly, not patched.
The lot is 0.41 acres, which gives you real outdoor space for Drumright. Room for a garden, a dog, a shed, whatever you need land for.
Three bedrooms, one bath. 1,014 square feet. That's the constraint here, and it's a real one. A couple or a small family can live comfortably in this, but you won't have room to grow into it. If you need a second bathroom or a fourth bedroom somewhere down the line, this property doesn't have an obvious path to that.
The price is the other thing worth sitting with. At $150,000, you're paying about $148 per square foot. The zip code median runs around $80 per square foot, and the median sale price in the area is closer to $129,000. This house is priced above both. The condition justifies some premium over a fixer, but the gap is wide. In a market where 36 percent of listings have taken price cuts, there's room to negotiate. The asking price is a starting point, and the data suggests sellers here know it.
What the price actually buys you is a fully finished, move-in house with a ceiling you'll still be pointing out to guests years from now.
