1920 Village Home. Walk-Out Basement with Fireplace. $135,000.

You are getting 1,824 square feet for under $75 a square foot. In a house built in 1920, in a small Ohio village a few minutes from two lakes.

The place has some genuine spatial variety to it. The family room has two sliding glass doors, which means the back of the house gets real light and you can walk straight out to the yard. The dining room opens to a patio. One of the bedrooms has its own deck with a view of the backyard. That is three separate ways to get outside without going through the front door, which is not something you find in most houses at this price or this size.

Then there is the walk-out basement. It has a wood-burning fireplace down there, so you are not looking at unfinished storage space. You are looking at a room people actually used, and could again.

The kitchen was updated within the last few years. The agent description does not get more specific than that, but it is the most used room in the house and it has been addressed.

The listing does mention the house shows some cosmetic wear from recent tenants. That is worth knowing going in.

What you are close to matters here. Clendening Lake is about ten miles away. Piedmont Lake is nearby as well. Both have boat ramps, fishing, and trails around them. Freeport itself is a small village in Harrison County, quiet, the kind of place where the pace is slower and the land is not expensive.

A hundred-year-old house with a walk-out basement, a wood-burning fireplace, outdoor access from three points, a modernized kitchen, and more than 1,800 square feet. $135,000.
