1932 Wintersville Home with Nearly an Acre and Fully Fenced Backyard — $99,500

Under $100,000 and you get 0.88 acres in Wintersville, Ohio. That is the thing to hold onto here.

The house itself is a 1932 build, two bedrooms, one bath, 910 square feet. Small by most standards, but the land around it is not. The backyard is fully fenced, and given the lot size, that fence is enclosing a serious amount of space. Room for a garden, room for animals, room to just have a yard that feels like yours rather than a strip of grass between you and your neighbor.

The 1932 construction means you are probably looking at some original details inside, though the listing describes the interior as updated throughout. What that means specifically is not detailed, but the phrase is consistent with work done to the kitchen and bath rather than just a coat of paint. The agent description calls the condition move-in, which is about as far as the specifics go.

What is documented is that the inside has been freshened with what the listing describes as modern touches. Again, not granular, but the overall picture is a house that has been maintained and updated rather than left alone since Truman was president.

At this price in Jefferson County, you are not usually getting land. You are getting a small lot in a neighborhood where everyone can see your back porch. This property runs almost to a full acre, which is genuinely unusual at this price point in this part of eastern Ohio. The fence means you are not just theoretically sitting on that land. It is usable and contained.

$99,500 for 910 square feet, a full bath, two bedrooms, and 0.88 fenced acres.
