its way over priced, you can buy the same sqft within the same zipcode for 700k, why would i pay 830k+ for this home?
Mantua gets a premium over other neighborhoods in the zip code, primarily because of the elementary school. The house may still be a bit overpriced, but it will go for significantly more than $700k.
No, elementary school does not make a 50-100k difference in price tag
It's a pretty neighborhood. Very much sought after if the house is priced right and the Condition is good. The oil spill affected a small portion of the neighborhood over 20 years ago. No big deal.

My gut is telling me that it's because no-one has bought it yet.

Interesting the lengths a neighborhood will go to to try to protect its sullied reputation.

The ground was contaminated with petrol from those gas tank reservoirs on Pickett st. or allegedly. There was some lawsuit about it years ago. Google it.

Overpriced - this house has been listed/delisted/relisted multiple times since February.
It is really close to the houses still owned by Texaco after the oil spill back in 1999(?). It is basically one house over from backing up to a Texaco-owned property on Tovito.
What is the significance of Texaco owned properties?
Bad news. Oil spill.

The kitchen cabinets look dated...which is made worse by the fact that they put them in the bathrooms too.

It was listed through the spring with only exterior pictures. The price was okay for the neighborhood then, if I'm remembering correctly. I have to assume something was wrong with the interior then If they wouldn't show it. Looks like they updated kitchens and baths now. I think it's a bit overpriced now.
