A Slice of Charm at a Great Price

What I Love:

I’m excited to share this charming gem tucked inside the city limits of Kennett — a 3-bedroom, 1-bath home with approximately 1,259 square feet of living space, built in 1935 and listed at just $75,000. This Craftsman-style beauty carries all the character of its era, featuring a welcoming covered front porch, a cozy back deck, and mature pecan trees that frame the property with natural charm. Sitting on nearly 0.8 acres, the spacious lot offers plenty of room to relax, garden, or enjoy the outdoors, complete with a workshop or storage building for added functionality. At roughly $60 per square foot, the affordability of this property is a rare find in today’s market. While the home is listed “as is,” it presents a wonderful opportunity for someone ready to add their personal touch — whether you’re a first-time buyer, an investor, or simply someone who loves the idea of restoring a classic home with history and heart.

About the town:

Kennett, Missouri, the county seat of Dunklin County, is nestled in the heart of the state’s agricultural “Bootheel” region. With a population of just over 10,000 residents, it offers that small-town warmth and familiarity that so many people long for. The community is known for its quiet, rural charm — where local events, friendly neighbors, and open farmland create a peaceful way of life. Outdoor enthusiasts appreciate the area’s opportunities for hunting, fishing, and enjoying the scenic Delta landscape. Real estate in Kennett is remarkably affordable compared to national averages, making it an ideal destination for first-time buyers or anyone seeking value and space. Architecturally, the town showcases a beautiful mix of early 20th-century homes — from quaint bungalows to classic Craftsman-style properties — reflecting a timeless charm that pairs perfectly with the relaxed pace of life.

Agent Comments:

This 3-bedroom 1 bath home sited on just under 1-acre within city limits of Kennett is priced to sell. Double lot yard with hook ups from previous home and mature pecan trees and storage building/workshop out back. Nice little porch to sit and sip your morning coffee, and a deck for afternoons. This would be good starter home or investment property.
