1900 Kokomo with Original Hardwood and Woodwork, Big Garage — $137,000

The woodwork is the thing. In a house this old, 124 years, it usually gets painted over at some point or ripped out entirely. Here it held. The original hardwood floors and trim are still in place, which tells you something about how this house was maintained. When that stuff survives, the rest of the house tends to hold up too.

The layout gives you three bedrooms and two full baths inside 1,087 square feet, which is tight but workable. There is also a bonus room beyond the living room. The agent description does not specify what that room is or how large it is, so take that for what it is, an extra space you would need to see in person to evaluate.

The detached garage is a real asset. Twenty-four by twenty-four feet is a two-car garage with room left over for a workbench or storage. At this price point in Indiana, a garage that size is not something you assume you are getting. It is worth factoring into your thinking.

The yard is fenced. The listing does not say what kind of fence or how the yard is sized beyond that, but fenced means the space has some definition and use, whether you have a dog, kids, or just want the boundary.

The house sits on South Market Street in Kokomo. The listing describes it as a quiet road, which you would want to verify yourself. What the listing does not tell you is condition details beyond the floors and woodwork, so there are questions worth asking about the roof, mechanicals, and what exactly was updated and when.

At $137,000 for a 1900 build with intact original materials, a fenced yard, and a serious detached garage, you are getting a lot of the hard-to-replace stuff. The bones held. Whether the rest of the systems are current is what you would need a good inspector to tell you.
