About 636 S Ash Ave

You ever walk into a house and just feel like it’s got a story to tell? That’s 636 S Ash Ave. This one isn’t just four walls and a roof—it’s a place with roots, history, and enough space to actually live your life in. Built in 1920, still standing solid, and ready for whatever comes next. Step up to the front porch and you’ll already be picturing yourself posted up with coffee in the mornings or unwinding at the end of a long day. Inside? You’ve got real square footage. Over 1,400 finished feet, four legit bedrooms, and a layout that actually makes sense. The living room centers around a fireplace that sets the vibe instantly—warm, grounded, and inviting. The kitchen’s got all the essentials and plenty of room to move, cook, and gather without stepping on each other. It’s not trying to be flashy—it’s functional, and it’s got potential to become whatever you want it to be. Downstairs, the full basement gives you space to store, build, or dream up that next project. And yes, there's even a detached garage out back. What’s rare is finding this kind of charm and size at a price that still makes financial sense. At $150K, it’s almost unheard of—especially in a market where small homes with no character are going for more. Whether you’re a first-time buyer looking for a place to finally call yours or someone who knows how to spot opportunity when you see it, this one checks a lot of boxes. Located in the Fairmount area of Independence and within the Independence School District, it’s close enough to everything but just tucked away enough to feel like home. You’re not just buying a house here—you’re stepping into a new chapter. And the price? Let’s just say it’ll make your lender smile.
