2050 Square Feet on a 267x150 Lot in Town — $129,900

Rugby sits at the geographic center of North America, which most people know from the roadside marker and then forget. What they probably don't know is that you can buy a 2,050-square-foot house there on nearly an acre of in-town land for $129,900.

The lot is 267 feet deep and 150 feet wide. That's not a backyard, that's a piece of property that happens to have a house on the front of it. The listing mentions there's already a concrete pad with a gazebo, and enough room left over to put up a shop, a garage, or both without crowding anything. For someone who needs to park equipment, run a small business out of a building, or just wants space that most in-town lots can't give you, this is worth looking at seriously.

Inside, the square footage breaks down across four usable rooms. The listing officially counts two bedrooms, but two additional rooms without closets bring the total to four spaces you could actually use. One of the main-level rooms is described as large enough to function as a primary bedroom if you want it to. The kitchen and dining area run together in one big open stretch, and laundry is on the main floor.

The house is next to the Pierce County Fairgrounds, which is worth knowing. Depending on what you want from a neighborhood, that's either a minor detail or something you'd want to think about.

The year built wasn't listed, so there's no way to know what the house's age is from this data alone. The agent description doesn't say much about the condition of the interior beyond the layout, so you'd want to see it in person and ask specific questions before drawing any conclusions about what shape it's in.

But the math on the land alone is unusual. An in-town lot this size in most markets would eat most of your budget before you got to the house. Here the house comes with it, and it's already over 2,000 square feet.
