Four bedrooms for $135,000 is already worth a second look. The fact that someone just put real money into this 1947 house before listing it makes it genuinely interesting.
The kitchen got the full treatment — new countertops, new sink, new stove, painted cabinets, and a backsplash that ties it together. This isn't a cosmetic flip; it reads like someone was planning to stay. The bathroom has new plumbing, a new vanity, and built-in towel storage. Fresh paint throughout. Updated light fixtures. The primary bedroom has a walk-in closet, which you don't always see in a house this size or this price. The front porch got new support posts. Tinted windows on the front give the living space some privacy from the street.
The detail that stands out most: sewer clean-outs were added in 2026. That's the kind of unglamorous infrastructure work that saves you from a very bad and very expensive day. Someone thought ahead.
At 1,533 square feet, this is a real family house — not a starter cottage. Arkansas City sits in south-central Kansas near the Oklahoma border, a small city with low costs and a straightforward quality of life.
For an investor, a first-time buyer, or someone relocating to the region, this is four bedrooms of updated, livable house at a price that's hard to argue with.
