The firstfixer upper is located at 3117 Avenue I in Dickinson and lists for $60,000. This three bedroom, one bath home was built in 1960, and is less thatn 1,000 square feet, but it also sits on a 5,502 sqauare-foot lot, which means there is plenty of room to expand, and add a fourth bedroom, extra bathroom or any other room you may need.
