A few months after being overturned by an imposing pine, a house in Monrovia – or what remains – is to be won for $ 499,999.
The humble bungalow Make the headlines When he was crushed by a tree in May with two tenants and two dogs inside. None were injured, but the tree released his car, a fence and most of the roof.
What remains of the property resembles a postapocalyptic room with missing walls, loose wires and no ceilings. Some would call it unhealthy; The registered agent, Kevin Wheeler, joked that it is an “open concept floor plan”.
According to the list, the house contains a bedroom and a bathroom in 645 square feet, but these are based on measures taken before being destroyed. Wheeler said electricity was extinguished, but plumbing is still working.
The rear door, which the tenants escaped after the descendants of the tree, is still standing.
MONROVIA rules declare that demolitions on properties over 50 years of age require an examination. But as the house was destroyed by an act of God, a review is not required, according to Wheeler. Thus, house hunters can buy what remains of the house and rebuild without dealing with some of the generally necessary administrative formalities.
“There has been a lot of interest so far because the request is so high and the inventory, especially at this price, is so low,” said Wheeler.
He added that several people had found the owner with low offers to buy the days at home after being crushed.
“They were trying to buy it for $ 250,000 or $ 300,000,” he said. “But market comparisons for properties similar to Monrovia put the value of $ 500,000.”
