buy this house? it's located about four blocks from ours...i pass it almost every day. they're asking $700,000 for this 85 year-old brick bungalow...3 bed/2 bath...2300 square feet...2 car garage...and a lot that's twice the size of ours. looks like new windows...new wood floors and cabinets too. did i also mention the beautiful landscaping? talk about curb appeal. and there's a HOT TUB!!!
a charming home...maybe a bit overpriced...but would you consider it if money was no issue? after all, it's right along 7th avenue...wide parkway...mature trees...close to congress park/botanic gardens...an easy walk to cherry creek shopping center and just a few blocks from university hospital.
a prime location.
now, would you still buy it if i told you that the owner was murdered (shot in the head) and left in his bathtub? because that's exactly what happened last november.
any takers?

I WAS all over it. Now I'm totally creeped out and it's 4 in the morning. Thanks.
The house is cute, but not my style and I wouldn't pay that kind of money for it... even if money wasn't an issue. The owner being murdered? Honestly, probably wouldn't bother me if I really wanted the house. However, I don't think Scott would go for it, things like that bother him more.
I love old houses but this one isn't my style. I like victorians, craftsmans, and tudor styles. It's too "ranch-y" for me, and I could get a lot more for $700,000 I'm sure, even in Denver.
I think that any house built before the 1940s is so old that odds are at least one person died in it (even children). So if you want a house that's guaranteed not to have a past, buy new. :)
The murder wouldn't bother me in the least. But I'd expect a discount on the house price.
The dead thing is no big deal. But goodness gracious.... 700K for that? Hell it's already all fixed up what kind of fun could a person have there? And like someone else said, for 700K I could buy a dozen busted houses here in the valley and make 'em all look nice.
