Built in 1870, this brick farmhouse has stood through 156 Wisconsin winters. Cook in a spacious kitchen, wake up upstairs, and decide what the next 156 years look like. Main level: kitchen, formal dining room, living room, a third bedroom, and laundry hookups. Upstairs: two generously sized bedrooms and the full bath. Partial basement with crawlspace, and an expandable attic. Updates: 2022 sump pump and drain tile, 2010 roof, 2007 gas boiler, and some vinyl replacement windows. Most of the rest is original and needs a lot of work. Small city lot, no garage. Sold as-is; buyer to do their own inspections. A $120,000 brick house is a rare start for DIYers, investors, and first-time homebuyers ready for a project. Cash, conventional, or 203(k) financing.
