About 463 Lauderdale County 36

What stands out first at 463 Lauderdale County 36 is the land: nearly 3 acres of level, usable yard with frontage on County Road 36 that opens possibilities for gardening, a workshop, or future additions. This one-story ranch delivers 1,777 square feet of comfortable living with practical updates that reduce near-term maintenance concerns — including a new roof installed in 2024 and new windows and a replaced breaker box completed in 2019.

Inside, the house feels grounded and lived-in. Hardwood floors run through much of the main living area and the updated kitchen and bathrooms reflect thoughtful, modest renovations rather than oversized remodels — making the house move-in ready while still leaving scope for buyers to personalize finishes. The floor plan places three bedrooms and two full baths on a single level, ideal for families who value easy circulation and accessibility.

Systems and utilities are straightforward: public water and municipal electric with central heating and cooling; the property uses a septic system, so buyers should plan for a septic inspection during due diligence. Parking is accommodated by an ample driveway; there is no attached garage, which is one reason the large lot is such an asset — it offers space to add a carport or garage if desired (R1 zoning supports single-family residential uses and potential expansions, subject to permitting).

Location is practical and family-friendly. Brooks High School is approximately 2.5 miles away and both Killen Park and the public library are short drives, making this a solid choice for buyers who want country-like acreage without losing access to town amenities. Florence is a modest drive for shopping, medical services, and broader entertainment. With estimated market value near $300,000 and recent comparable sales across Killen showing steady demand for three-bedroom homes, this property represents both comfortable daily living and an opportunity to capture value by leveraging the large lot.

Key selling points: a strong lot, sensible recent upgrades (roof, windows, electrical), hardwood floors, updated baths and kitchen, and a single-level ranch layout that appeals to a wide range of buyers. Bring a vision for the yard and you’ll find this property is well-positioned for immediate occupancy or incremental improvements to unlock additional equity.

Market Insights

Killen’s residential market is currently balanced — neither strongly favoring buyers nor sellers. Local metrics show roughly 3.5 months of inventory and an average days-on-market near 92, which aligns with a market where listings typically sell within about three months. Median sale price in the area sits around $299,450 with modest year-over-year appreciation of roughly 3.2% and a five-year rise near 15%. Recent comparable sales within 1.5 miles range from the low $180Ks (older, smaller homes) to roughly $320K for newer construction; price per square foot among neighbors varies roughly from $140–$196.

For single-family ranches like this one — 3 beds and about 1,700–1,800 SF on larger lots — demand is steady thanks to family buyers attracted to nearby schools and outdoor space. Inventory is neither tight nor oversupplied, making this a reasonable time for buyers to negotiate on condition items (septic inspection recommended) while still competing with others who target solid-value homes with acreage. Sellers receive fair market offers within a predictable timeframe; buyers who value the lot and recent systems upgrades will find this property a compelling entry in the $275K–$325K band.
