7 bedrooms | 6 baths | 7,730 square feet
Built in 1900
While I wouldn’t say this is the most insane spooky house I’ve ever posted, it definitely has a unique magnetism, and the perfect crumbling old brick mansion aesthetic is impossible to resist. I mean, just check out those columns and that perfectly weather-worn railing and trim.
And just imagine the atmosphere inside once the sun goes down. Not to mention, you get over 7,000 square feet for under $300k!
Here’s the realtor’s description.
