1870 Willmar Farmhouse on a Third-Acre Lot with 24x24 Garage — $134,900

This house was built in 1870, which makes it one of the oldest standing homes in Willmar. That alone is worth pausing on. Most houses from that era are gone. This one is still here on a 0.34-acre lot with a front porch and a detached garage, which tells you something about how it was built even if it also tells you the work ahead won't be small.

It's being sold as-is. The agent says so plainly, and the price reflects it. The roof and vinyl siding are newer, so the envelope is in decent shape, but the interior needs updates and repairs. If you go in expecting a project, you're going in correctly.

The layout is straightforward. Main floor has a full bath, laundry, a large kitchen, and a living room. All three bedrooms are upstairs. At 1,008 square feet it's tight, but the footprint is what it is and the lot around it is generous. 0.34 acres in a city neighborhood gives you real yard, not just a strip of grass. The garage is a proper 24 by 24, two stalls, which means actual storage and workspace, not just a place to park.

Forced air heat. Front porch. That's the picture.

What you're looking at here is a decision. The bones of the exterior are addressed. The interior is the question. Someone willing to work through that gets a house from 1870 on a big lot with good garage space in a price range that makes the math possible. That's a specific kind of buyer, and if you're that buyer, this property is worth seeing in person before you decide anything.
