1924 Odell Home, Gut-Renovated in 2019-2020, with Heated Pine Sunroom — $149,000

The sunroom is the first thing worth your attention. Tongue-and-groove pine on the walls, heated so you can actually use it past October, and the kind of space that makes a small house feel like it has somewhere to go. That room alone changes the way you'd live in this place.

The rest of the house is 1,224 square feet built in 1924, and the renovation that happened in 2019 and 2020 was thorough. Kitchen, bathroom, electrical, plumbing, vinyl siding, laminate flooring, composite deck, water heater. That is not a cosmetic refresh. Someone went through this house systematically and updated the things that matter. A new water supply line was added in 2026, so the infrastructure is current.

The kitchen has stainless appliances. The bathroom was redone. Select rooms got fresh paint. Three bedrooms, one bath, which is tight but standard for a house this age and this size.

Outside there is a large lot with a partially fenced backyard, shaded, and a composite deck off the back. The garage is deep, one car, which means actual storage room beyond just fitting a vehicle. The basement is full and unfinished, so more storage or a future project depending on what you need.

The listing mentions the property is near a community pool, parks, and schools, and has quick access to I-55. Those are the kinds of facts that matter differently depending on who you are and how you live.

At $122 per square foot for a house that has been this thoroughly updated, the math is reasonable. You are not buying a project. The heavy lifting happened a few years ago and the systems are in good shape. What you are getting is a small, solid, well-renovated 1924 house in Odell with a sunroom that earns its keep.
