Huge, four-bedroom house in New York worth $828,000 that ‘NOBODY wants to buy’
A HUGE four-bedroom house has gone up for sale in New York for $828,000, but “nobody wants to buy it.”
Despite its attractive exterior, potential buyers have been off-put by the inside of the house.
The detached house, which was built in 1945, has a total of eight rooms and is located in Fresh Meadows.
However, as the pictures demonstrate, the house has been labeled on Realtor.com as “Not In Livable Condition.”
In the kitchen, ivy is somehow growing inside of the property around the window and the presumably white cupboard doors have turned brown.
The bedrooms, which appear to be the seemingly more “attractive” rooms, have discolored drapes, warped flooring and “antique” chandeliers.
The entirety of one of two bathrooms has turned brown – including the walls, the inside of the bathtub, the sink and the rim of the toilet.
Records seen by the New York Post said that an entity called DCG Realty LLC bought the house for $675,000 in 2005 from a man named Michael Robinson, who died in 2007.
Douglas Elliman listing agent W. Kenny Thongpanich told the outlet about the owners, whom he declined to identify, that: “They kept it unattended for obviously an extended period of time. It just lacked upkeep, to say the least.”
A real estate source that is not involved in the listing told the outlet: “You’re in a high-priced market . . . In comparison to other parts of Queens, it’s significantly more expensive, but relative to the surrounding properties, it’s not.
“There is a strong correlation with the quality of the local schools . . . that influences property values significantly.”
An anonymous resident from the area told the Post: “This is a beautiful neighborhood and the house [is] terrible.

“I don’t know what happened in that house, why they kept it like that — or why the city didn’t do anything about it . . .
“I’m sure that, because of the price, nobody wants to buy that kind of house.”
The local also told the outlet that she “hopes” the building is torn down, “because it’s terrible.”
