A 1900 traditional with modern practicality: 704 North Linn Street sits on a level 0.14-acre lot with 59 feet of street frontage, a fully fenced backyard, and a one-car detached garage. The house’s 1,486 square feet are arranged across two stories and deliver room-for-everyday living — three bedrooms, a single well-appointed bath, and a full unfinished basement that expands possibilities for storage, workshop space, or future finished living area.
Step inside to find a recently updated kitchen that gives this turn-of-the-century home an immediate sense of renewed purpose. The seller has also installed several newer windows and a new water heater, updates that help reduce near-term maintenance needs. Original wood framing and period proportions remain apparent in the home’s footprint, yet practical systems like forced-air gas heating bring contemporary comfort. Note: there is currently no central air conditioning.
Outdoors is where this property really stretches out: the fenced yard is ideal for pets and weekend projects, and the detached garage plus driveway provide parking and utility. The full basement offers mechanical access and abundant storage; its unfinished condition is an open invitation for a buyer who wants to add value through measured improvements. Overall condition is described as average with targeted updates already completed.
This address sits in West Bay City on a quiet residential block with straightforward access to schools, neighborhood parks, and local errands. Buyers who prioritize value will notice the pricing context — recent local comparables and a sales-comparison valuation put fair market value in the $85K–$95K band, with a midpoint near $90,000. With modest appreciation in the corridor and an average days-on-market near three weeks, this property represents a sensible buy for an owner-occupant, investor, or a small household seeking a stable community base.
Serious buyers should verify roof age, confirm renovation permits, and schedule a professional inspection; these are standard steps for a home of this vintage. With a mix of preservation and practical updates, 704 North Linn blends historical character with functional upgrades — a pragmatic option in a steady, neighborhood-focused market.
West Bay City is a stable, residential neighborhood of turn-of-the-century homes and modest streetscapes. Families and working professionals appreciate proximity to Kolb Elementary, Handy Middle, and Bay City Central High, while Veterans Memorial Park and Bay City State Park provide nearby outdoor recreation. The area’s local businesses and short commutes to downtown Bay City create a balanced lifestyle of neighborhood calm with convenient access to services and transit corridors. Community-minded residents value practical updates and long-term stability.
West Bay City currently reflects a balanced residential market that slightly favors sellers on affordable, move-in-ready single-family homes. Median sale price for the broader area sits near $172,000, but this pocket of West Bay City shows strong activity at lower price points: recent comparables within a half-mile sold in the $95k–$120k range, and analysis places this 3BR home in an $85K–$95K band with a midpoint of $90,000. Inventory in the corridor is tight—about 2.5 months supply—and homes typically close in roughly 22 days, indicating that competitively priced, maintained homes move quickly. One-year appreciation is modest (+3%), while five-year appreciation has been healthier (+15%), reflecting steady long-term demand.
For this property type—traditional, modestly updated single-family homes—demand is supported by local workforce renters and small households seeking residential stability near schools and parks. Rental comparables point to roughly $900/month, yielding a gross rental rate around 12% annually, which may appeal to investors. Given low inventory and consistent days-on-market, buyers who can proceed with inspections and financing promptly will find the best chance of securing this type of property. Verify roof condition, permits for recent updates, and system age during due diligence to confirm value.
