1958 Flasher Five-Bedroom with Two Garages and a Whirlpool Tub — $125,000

At $48 a square foot, you're getting a lot of house. That's the thing that stops you when you look at this one. 2,578 square feet, five bedrooms, two garages, a finished basement, and a deck in Flasher, North Dakota for $125,000. The math is just different here.

The main floor has three bedrooms, all with generous closets, plus a living room off the kitchen. The kitchen has all new appliances and reads as the center of the house. From there you step down to a landing that takes you either out to the 20 by 20 deck and patio or into the attached one-car garage with an opener and backyard access. That's a good flow. The deck is big enough to actually use.

The full bathroom on the main floor has a whirlpool tub, which is either exactly what you want or beside the point depending on where you are in life. Either way, it's there. The house has built-in storage throughout, which tends to matter more than people think until they move somewhere that has none.

Downstairs is a full basement with a large family room, a three-quarter bath with shower, laundry, furnace room, and two additional bedrooms. The agent calls them non-conforming, which typically means egress windows are a question. Worth looking at if the basement bedrooms matter to your count.

Heat is electric with central air. The 1958 build year means you're not in new construction territory, so the inspection will tell you what it tells you. But the bones of the layout are functional and the space is genuinely large for what it costs.

The detached two-car garage is accessible from the alley, so you have parking handled from two directions. One car goes in the attached garage off the kitchen. Two more go in the back. That's three covered spots total on a Main Street address.

Five bedrooms, finished basement, dual garage, deck, and 2,578 square feet. In Flasher. For $125,000.
