1920 Hutchinson Home with Floor-to-Ceiling Stone Fireplace — $99,900

Two fireplaces in a 1920 house for under $100,000, and one of them goes floor to ceiling in stone.

That fireplace is the first thing you notice in the living room, and it earns the attention. The second space, which works as a sitting room or dining room depending on how you want to use it, has a brick hearth with a freestanding wood stove. So you have two separate heat sources beyond whatever the main system is doing, which matters in a Kansas winter. The 1,222 square feet is modest but the layout gives you distinct rooms rather than one undivided space, which is how a 1920 house typically works.

The kitchen has an eat-in area with room for a table, and the appliances stay. Stainless refrigerator and dishwasher are included.

Outside is where this property separates itself from other houses at this price. You get an attached covered carport, a second detached carport, and a metal shop and outbuilding. The alley runs along the property and there is a double gate, so you can pull a boat or an RV straight in off the alley without doing anything complicated. On a corner lot with mature trees, partial privacy fencing, and a storm shelter on the exterior. That shelter is not an afterthought in central Kansas.

The listing does not specify recent mechanical updates, so if that matters to you, those are the questions worth asking before you get too far in. What the listing does make clear is that you are getting a hundred-year-old house with a lot of physical character and a serious amount of covered storage and parking for a town like Hutchinson.

Hutchinson is about 50 miles northwest of Wichita and sits at around 37,000 people. It has a downtown, a community college, and a salt mine that is also a national landmark. It is a real town, not a rural outpost.

At $99,900, you are getting three bedrooms, two baths, two fireplaces, a metal shop, two carports, alley access, and a corner lot.
