1940 Two-Story on Half an Acre in Tionesta Borough — $65,000

Half an acre inside a borough is a real thing. Most borough lots are tight, so 0.52 acres with mature trees gives you actual yard, actual shade, actual separation from the neighbors. That's the part of 210 Dale St worth starting with.

The house is a 1940 two-story, 1480 square feet, three bedrooms and one bathroom. At $65,000, you're paying $43 a square foot, which tells you something before you even walk in the door. The agent description calls it a canvas and talks about potential and vision. That language means the place needs work. How much work isn't clear from what's been provided, but the listing is explicit that it sells as-is, which is the clearest signal you'll get.

The exterior has a rustic look and covered outdoor space. With trees on a lot that size, the outside is probably the strongest thing going for it right now. Inside, the layout is described as spacious, which at 1480 square feet for a two-story tracks fine. Three bedrooms across two floors is a workable configuration. The single bathroom is what it is for a house this age and this price.

Tionesta sits along the Allegheny River in Forest County. The river is genuinely close. If that matters to you, fishing or paddling or just being near moving water, the location delivers on it. The town is small and the listing mentions local shops and dining without naming any, so take that for what it's worth.

The covered outdoor space combined with the lot and the trees is the thing that would make me linger here. A half-acre in town with mature growth takes decades to establish. You can fix a kitchen. You can update a bathroom. You cannot speed-grow a shade tree.

This is a project house at a project price in a quiet river town. If you want something to move into without lifting a finger, keep looking. If you want land and space and a place to work on over time, this is worth a closer look.
