1900 Leipsic Four-Bedroom, Fully Replumbed and Redone — $129,900

The work on this place goes deeper than paint. That is usually the question with a 124-year-old house: how deep did anyone bother to go? Here the answer is documented. New plumbing throughout. New ductwork. New water heater. Sump pump and vapor barrier put in the crawl space. Downspouts tied into the storm sewer. A lawn drain added on the north side. Someone thought about water carefully, which matters more in an old house than almost anything else.

The surface work is there too. New flooring throughout, new cabinets, new vanities, new lights, new back steps, fresh paint, and most of the interior doors replaced. New refrigerator and range included. That is a long list, and it covers most of what wears out or dates a house this age.

What you get is 1,324 square feet, four bedrooms, one bath, built in 1900 in Leipsic, Ohio. At $129,900, the math on four bedrooms is hard to argue with. The layout is not described in any detail, so you would want to walk it and see how the rooms sit relative to each other. One bathroom serving four bedrooms is a real constraint depending on how you use the house, and nothing in the listing suggests that is changing.

The crawl space work is the part worth paying attention to. Vapor barrier and sump pump installation is not cosmetic. It is the kind of thing that keeps a house dry and keeps the floor above it from moving. The fact that it was done here and documented is a good sign.

This is a small house by bedroom count, tight by square footage, and priced accordingly. The bones are old, the systems are new, and the finish work has been done. If you want a project, this is not it. If you want an old house that someone already put the hard work into, at a price that reflects the town and the size, this one is worth a look.
