This is an early house! That price is low and interior isn’t too bad. If this were closer to me, I would buy it today. This is known as the John Johnston House. It was built in 1830! It is located in Brownsville, Pennsylvania. Mr. Johnston was born in 1806. He was a prominent Brownsville resident and appears in the town’s 1854 municipal government listing. If you look at the picture from above, it clearly needs a roof. The town’s median listing price is 78-98k. Fully improved houses can sell around 125-170k. Three bedrooms, two bathrooms and 2,166 square feet. $49,000

From the Zillow listing:
This 1830s Colonial offers real estate investors and historic rehabbers a substantial 2,166-square-foot blank canvas on Front Street with major upside potential. The three-story brick structure features high-value architectural bones, including exposed wood beam ceilings and 5 original wood-burning fireplaces, giving you the foundation needed to execute a high-yield flip or a distinctive income-producing rental. With public water and sewer already connected, and a partial walk-out basement, this property minimizes holding costs while maximizing ROI for buyers ready to restore a piece of Brownsville history.
