Sitting on a full lot on N Walnut St in Carthage, this 2-bed, 1-bath single-story offers 1,218 square feet of livable space, a detached garage, and the kind of bones that reward a buyer willing to bring their vision. The math is straightforward: buy below market, build instant equity, own something worth significantly more than what you paid. Built in 1898, the home carries real character - wood construction, a full-width breezeway, and a yard with room to breathe. Central heat and air are in place. Cosmetic updates throughout will unlock the upside, and at this price point, there's meaningful room to do it right and still come out ahead. This is priced for a buyer who sees value where others see work
Charming bungalow with newer furnace and central air. Also newer water heater. Attached tool room, attached carport, detached carport, and storage shed. With a little TLC, this could be lovely. MOTIVATED SELLER WANTS AN OFFER!!!
