Oh So Charming! Circa 1910 Fixer-Upper in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, Asks Just $199K

There is something undeniably special about an old house with good bones, generous proportions, and a story waiting to be continued. In Johnstown, Pennsylvania, one such property is offering buyers an intriguing opportunity to restore a substantial historic home while creating plenty of space for family, guests, rental income, or even a multigenerational living arrangement.

Priced at $199,000, the circa-1910 property at 150 Bucknell Ave, Johnstown, PA 15905, delivers an impressive amount of real estate for the asking price. The property encompasses approximately 5,116 square feet, features eight bedrooms and six bathrooms, and sits on a spacious 0.61-acre lot in the desirable Westmont-Hilltop School District.

Of course, this isn’t a turnkey home. It’s a fixer-upper—and the listing makes that point clear. But for the right buyer, the work could be precisely what makes this property so appealing.

A Historic Home With Plenty of Character

Built around 1910, the main residence possesses many of the architectural details that make older houses so compelling. Rather than starting with a blank canvas, a new owner will find original features that can potentially become the centerpiece of a thoughtful restoration.

Among the highlights are beautiful hardwood floors and multiple wood-burning fireplaces, details that can be difficult or expensive to recreate convincingly in a newer construction. The scale of the home also sets it apart. With six or more bedrooms and five full bathrooms in the primary residence, there is no shortage of room.

The property could potentially accommodate a large household, provide dedicated guest quarters, or offer flexibility for offices, hobby rooms
