At the time the video was posted, the home was already under contract. And it appears the creepy, spine-chilling graveyard wasn’t enough to scare off potential buyers.
An offer was immediately made on the property about a week after it went up for sale for $325,000.
The buyer closed on the home on February 14 with a final sale price of $317,500, records show.
The previous description of the 1,234-square-foot home made no mention of a cemetery.
Instead, it simply says Mt. The airy home has been “completely renovated.”
Features, the listing notes, include an open-concept floor plan with wood floors, recessed lighting and a gourmet eat-in kitchen.
Additional features include a finished basement, a deck (which features the look of an ocean headstone) and floating stairs.
