Richfield 'Wow!' House: Potential In A Huge Wooded Backyard

RICHFIELD, MN — This 1.5-story house with a white picket fence and huge backyard caught our eye for its potential. Built in 1948, this house is all about the old-fashioned amenities. The upper level and basement are unfinished and the kitchen could use a makeover, which could actually be exactly what some do-it-yourselfer is looking for in a home.

With three bedrooms and one bathroom over 1,374 square feet, walk space and bathroom time are at a premium here. Gravity heating is the time-honored HVAC system of choice, which is fine for a compact house like this one. There is a brick wood-burning fireplace on the main floor and an additional stove upstairs.

The kitchen appliances and cabinets are newer, as are the brick-red exterior paint job, asphalt shingle roof, and windows throughout. Hardwood floors dominate the main level. The $189K price tag is appropriate for this starter or hobby house, but it's an exceptional deal when you check out those giant old trees out back.
