Dying owner, squatter in basement? This is a sibling dispute and the owner is too sick to kick them out.


+1, my assumption would be that one sibling is living in the basement and the other has the POA to sell the house. Sad.

I'm sure someone with a cousin will happily take the home off the owner's hands with a cash offer.


Yep, this house sits on an extremely busy road, is listed for $790K, and is 3 bedrooms smaller. It will go - parasite squatters and all.

I wonder if this is in some ways a test of the craziness of the house market. I bet the house still sells for over list.

That's a crappy house but I do like that neighborhood (and no, I don't live there but know someone who does).

The jeans on the bathroom counter in pic 20 really lends an air of authenticity, nice touch!

WE HAVE NOTHING ELSE TO DO OP! And I love a good mystery!

I love that it's now a hot home. That's all kinds of awesome.


Me too! I'd love to know the backstory of how the squatter(s) came to be

Wow, thank you. “Person or persons” in basement?? This is one hell of a story.

The solution to getting the tenant to leave is right there in the description: "Powder room toilet is shut off and it leaks in lower level." Turn that toilet back on!
