Handyman's Dream on a Treed Corner Lot — Bring Your Vision! Calling all DIYers, investors, and renovation enthusiasts! This solid-bones fixer-upper is loaded with value-packed updates and rare features you won't find in every listing. Updates to know: Newer Roof — replaced within the last 2 years, 200 Amp Electrical Service — ready for today's power needs, Extended Basement Garage — a workshop dream, with room to tinker, build, and store, Main Floor Laundry — no more hauling baskets up and down stairs, Original Hardwood Floors — throughout the home, ready to be refinished and shine again, Corner Lot and Beautifully Treed — irregular shape adds character and privacy. The bathroom keeps it simple with a shower (no tub), and the dehumidifier and window A/C unit both stay with the home — one less thing to buy after closing. This is a rare opportunity to add sweat equity and make this house your own. Seller financing may also be available with a substantial down payment.
Harrison, located between the Independence Square and the Truman Library & Museum, is a historic and residential Independence neighborhood with a courthouse-centered downtown edge and leafy, gridded streets. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Independence Square, where coffee counters, antique galleries, and locally run eateries line the sidewalks under classic storefront cornices. The Truman Courthouse anchors the skyline, while the National Frontier Trails Museum adds a distinctly regional lens. Nearby, the Bingham-Waggoner Estate and the Truman Home bring preserved architecture into everyday view. Housing reads as early-20th-century, with porches, mature trees, and walkable blocks that connect to pocket parks and civic buildings.
