That would have to be at least 30 miles out of town to get down to half a million dollars here.

Did you say house?

I'll agree it's attractively priced.

"PRIOR OWNER WAS A VICTIM OF A HOMICIDE THAT TOOK PLACE AT THIS PROPERTY." Yikes!

This would be at least double the price around here up to quadruple if it was closer to the city.

Haunted garage. I guess that means the vehicles convey. Is that a 308 kit car? If they convey are they all challenge legal?

That's bizarro!  Is that a disclosure that's required by law, or did they just think it was a good thing to throw that into the description?

This place was listed at least twice before and as far as I know the sale fell through each time. Might have an undisclosed issue.

I would have cleaned the toilet before taking the picture of the bathroom.

It looks like the main road passes feet from the building.  Otherwise cool.  Well except for the lack of security/exposure.  Parts cars go outside?  Right?  Sounds like a magnet for homicidal tweakers.   smiley

Due to the proximity to a stream with native brook trout, I suspect those would've been dealt with long ago if part of the equation. I know previously it had been zoned for mixed use commerical, but that has expired and would need to be resubmitted and applied for.

I predict a fear of very bad juju:

"Troopers found the victim, Brandon Carbaugh, in woods near the house, wrapped in a tarp. Investigators found at least three bullet wounds, one in the chest and two in the head. A hedge trimmer had been used to remove the victim's finger tips and an ax used to cut off the left leg below the knee, police said."

I think the fact that someone died in my house is what made it cheap.  The dude was so huge he couldn't get out of bed or fit through the door.  By the time they found him, he had exploded from decomposition and they had to cut the front of the house off and use a forklift to get him out.

$87k for a house?  Yes please.  It's even on Berkley St.  Not kidding.

I've been looking for a garage just like this in Harrisburg just up the river, but it doesn't exist.  I mean, yes, it exists... for $400k and taxes would be $600/mo.  I can't imagine little old me going from small down payment and a mortgage with escrow in the sub-$400 range to suddenly paying a total of about $2400/mo for a commercial property just to wrench on my own stuff.  In two months I would spend the equivalent of what  I normally pay for a used car.

A York county amateur.  Heroin was likely involved, AND they probably did it in a full-camo-wrapped Dodge bro-dozer.

"Hold my beer and watch this," is York County's motto.

Ok, not really... just picking on the Apple Farmer Mafia down there.

Actually, the rest of the story explained that this was a case of fratricide. And yes, apparently the fingertips and leg portion were removed to hinder identification of the body.
