I was looking at a used Marshall 5w Class5 combo for $250, or one of the Fender reverbs.
Maybe I don't need all of that for just playing around the house,
Fender Excelsior?

5W of tube amp is very loud unless it has some sort of attenuator or master volume. I have a 15W Univalve and it is waaay too loud for "around the house".
Check out the Jet City PicoValve. I've never played one, but it looks like fun for the money. Plus you can swap tubes, which I find is actually fun. I also have a Roland MicroCube and am impressed with how much fun it is for goofing around.
A lot of it depends on what you intend to play. I wouldn't get an Orange Tiny Terror for country music, for instance or a Fender Champ to crank out some Tool.
