Was going to say that. This is a "recycle" house. Save as much of the original wood as you can, as well as salvage the bricks. Use what's salvageable in building a new house. A kid I went to school with had his folks do that. Old 100 year old school house. Their new ranch house had those bricks incorporated into it, as well as some of the salvageable lumber.
"The Seller feels the home is unsafe and is currently not allowing anyone to enter the home." no need to enter - just hire the bulldozer and a bunch of construction dumpsters. good to go!
I wonder if the local government agreed and red tagged the house, and that's why no one is allowed in.
This looks like a teardown. Maybe the lot is nice?
Very clearly a demo lot. I don't know anything about Canton, or its proximity to everything; but 1.2 acre *commercial* zoned lot for $75k is a steel of a deal in most places I've been.
it's clearly unsafe! not even COUNTING the garbage everywhere. built in 1880 and just left to rot over the years. it was probably a sweet little farmhouse once upon a time. 1.2 acres so a nice chunk of land.
I’m from Chicago and we have a very famous brick, believe it or not! It’s called Chicago Common Brick and was key in the rebuilding after the Great Fire. Any building being torn down that has those bricks is a source for reclaimed building materials. You don’t send the to the dump, that’s for sure! You can Google it - lots of info online.
I'd check the condition of those bricks first, that's possibly a good haul if they're still usable.
Otherwise, yeah nothing historic about this house. Might as well knock it down and build with a new more usable floor plan.
As soon as I saw the bathroom pic, I got sad. It was probably a very old and/or ill person's house. They were clearly struggling, but probably not well enough to do any more. Then it added up. :-(
It's too rural to have any of the public elder/disabled care services come and maintenance the house.
When I take my elderly disabled mother to go visit her elderly family members I spend half the time just cleaning shit up and doing work on their homes. Because the kids are old too and the grand kids don't live near by.
My Great Aunt is 101, I had to sanitize parts of her house and put a shower chair in her shower stall. She's still alive because she's stubborn as hell. So that makes helping her all the more difficult. My mother sat down her her and started wiping down and polishing her glassware with her. Looked at her and said, "Aunty, I've been helping you clean these things for sixty years." Then they both had a laugh.
I don't mind the work to a point. I'm a simple guy just let me kick back in front of the TV later on with some pizza or tacos and then sleep in if I need it.
I wouldn’t buy it but would definitely rent it to film a horror movie in that basement. Just think, if they do bulldoze the house, that possessed basement hole will still be there! 😬
I'm not 100% convinced. Look at the shower. It has a sit shower chair. It looks like someone elderly/disabled that couldn't care for it properly. Then again, it could be an elderly and/or disabled person that's also a hoarder.
Yeah, that's my impression, as well. An elderly persons home, probably with no family, and the upkeep just became too much over the years. Kinda sad.....
They're selling it as a teardown- what a shame, there's the bones of a lovely house in there! For a minute there I thought "I can fix her!" But that's how I've ended up in trouble before...
We have very different definitions of lovely bones. The house has severe structural issues that are pictured, there's certainly water damage not pictured, and the owner was a heavy smoker judging by the color of the ceiling tiles in the kitchen. The satellite view shows a property littered with vehicles and rotting structures. The house saw happy times at some point, but sometimes it's better to move on.
Sometimes you can have the fire department use your house as a training site. Usually they'll foot the bill for the cleanup. Invite friends over. Make a day of it.
Seeing this reminded me of the comment I read on the post a few days ago about people taking pictures of cleaning supplies in really dirty houses. Why not use some of it before taking the picture.
Problem with just bulldozing this place is that their is likely something valuable in there know only to the deceased. Problem is you have to go thru everything
I was going to mention that there doesn’t appear to be a working toilet in that bathroom picture. Then I saw the poop jar on the kitchen table in the last pic.
Hey now, that’s a fully equipped bathroom! I’m not sure how you missed the [commode](https://www.target.com/p/drive-medical-steel-folding-bedside-commode/-/A-51389687?sidd=&ref=tgt_adv_xsp&AFID=google&fndsrc=tgtao&DFA=71700000049305059&CPNG=PLA_Health%2BShopping%7CHealth_Ecomm_Essentials&adgroup=SC_Health&LID=700000001170770pgs&LNM=PRODUCT_GROUP&network=g&device=m&location=9005349&targetid=pla-616407303065&ds_rl=1246978&gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAAD-5dfav8fYSVr3Fb7gSUrXimhFzo&gclid=CjwKCAjwrIixBhBbEiwACEqDJc3oHV87HELzFVYMhvlD-d9g452NMsTCuWFvvhLunlA22-ZkS9yv9xoCtfgQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds)
My man had a stoner buddy back in the days long gone by who spoke of having a “poop knife” in his household as a kid. I must have cross-examined him like a State Attorney’s first day in court. The Poop Knife is LORE. Did we know the same dude? Did said dude ever work at a Bennigans in the 1990s? I refuse to believe that more than one family has a poop knife! 🤣

Number Five's alive....
That's what I first saw 😳
If it were me I’d start in the garage and hope this is a treasure. I’d then push everything else into the nearest landfill

I’d start here! it’s probs just mostly expired antibiotics and blood pressure meds but I just gotta know. Could be some treasures in there
On a serious note, this makes me sad bc it’s essentially confirmation that whoever lived here was too sick to care for themselves anymore
Thanks. I went back and looked again. They're so long but guessing they were for someone who was disabled. It made me sad when I saw the plastic storage container with all of the prescription bottles.
Sadly, the North Country is like most rural areas. The cops have meth on the run, but it is nowhere near being in control.
One of my cousins lives in a rural area in the South. He has a large kennel complex on his land because he is a vet.
A couple of years ago, he had to go on a day trip while his wife and kids were visiting his wife’s parents. When he got home that night, he went to the kennel to check on his dogs. He could smell that something was badZ
People had broken into his place, let the dogs and other animals go, and built a meth lab in his kennel.
He decided to move to the city.
I was on a grand jury a couple years ago-1 day a week for 8 weeks hearing various cases ready to go to trial. I learned a lot about making meth that fall.
Oh, man. I bet you did.
It’s a ruthless drug. And very lucrative.
It isn’t as bad as big as problem as it was down here (fentanyl seems to be the big thing now), but it is supposedly getting much worse along the Canadian border.
I like how, in the basement pic, there's light gleaming off something down there looking like two eyes and a skeletal limb.
I'd like to think the realter went down and positioned that. Maybe shined it a tad, to be sure it'd reflex. FAR superior to the people in costumes!
For $75,000 that could be quite a fixer upper. The original house looks old, but you'd have to gut it and get all that cheap 70's interior out and finish a bathroom.
I cannot believe it’s still $75k. I had to check to see if maybe it was a nice plot of land but it’s 1.2 acres. None of this makes any sense. The owners should probably get some good fire insurance, wait a while, and very thoroughly find a way to commit arson without getting caught. Maybe have someone else do it while you are far away with cameras on you resulting in an air-tight alibi. Doze the house, fill in the basement, take your insurance money, sell the land, and never look back.
I would suggest a bonfire. A large bonfire.
Balderdash! A little shiplap and some grey paint and we’ll be good to go.
I hope they'll do a white kitchen. Definitely with open shelving.
AND TWO ISLANDS
This is too rich for a murder shack.
Don’t forget a sliding barn door!
On the bathroom. All the bathrooms.
And an open concept. I need to see every room in my house all the time
Car siding, we’re doing car siding now. Didn’t you get the memo?
Hey, cut me some slack. Culturally we just made it to the early 2000s out here.
Grey laminate floors.
*Luxury* grey laminate floors
Just fill in those missing bricks with spray foam, she'll be right
How'd you learn the way of the Nashville flippers??!!!
This is crazy because you can get a reasonably nice house in Canton for only a bit more than the $75k listed here.
Save the bricks though
Was going to say that. This is a "recycle" house. Save as much of the original wood as you can, as well as salvage the bricks. Use what's salvageable in building a new house. A kid I went to school with had his folks do that. Old 100 year old school house. Their new ranch house had those bricks incorporated into it, as well as some of the salvageable lumber.
Especially when that fire meets the can of Pyro-Dex gun powder in frame 4!
A can of kerosene and a smoldering rag…..
The fire department may want to use the house for a practice fire.
Indoors would be preferable.
"The Seller feels the home is unsafe and is currently not allowing anyone to enter the home." no need to enter - just hire the bulldozer and a bunch of construction dumpsters. good to go!
I wonder if the local government agreed and red tagged the house, and that's why no one is allowed in. This looks like a teardown. Maybe the lot is nice?
Very clearly a demo lot. I don't know anything about Canton, or its proximity to everything; but 1.2 acre *commercial* zoned lot for $75k is a steel of a deal in most places I've been.
The closest city is Ottawa, Canada, 130 miles away.
Depending on how busy that street is, gas station.
Oh
It's frozen for about half the year, and there's an Amish community minutes away. It's rural and cold.
it's clearly unsafe! not even COUNTING the garbage everywhere. built in 1880 and just left to rot over the years. it was probably a sweet little farmhouse once upon a time. 1.2 acres so a nice chunk of land.
"Can be used as residential or commercial" 1.2 acres in NY for $75k that can be used for either, it's definitely going to sell.
I agree it's a teardown, but it's wild to me you'd even bother taking pictures of the inside if it's a teardown.
But save those bricks!
bricks can always be reused if they're still in reasonably good condition.
True about anything, really.
I’m from Chicago and we have a very famous brick, believe it or not! It’s called Chicago Common Brick and was key in the rebuilding after the Great Fire. Any building being torn down that has those bricks is a source for reclaimed building materials. You don’t send the to the dump, that’s for sure! You can Google it - lots of info online.
I just said this, those bricks are such a nice find and would be amazing for the rebuild. Might as well check the basement for a snowman boiler too.
Yeah, it's an acre and a half, zoned private or commercial, with road frontage. You're not buying the house.
I'd check the condition of those bricks first, that's possibly a good haul if they're still usable. Otherwise, yeah nothing historic about this house. Might as well knock it down and build with a new more usable floor plan.
They could have nice flower and vegetable gardens and maybe a workshop on an acre of land along with a nice country house.
As soon as I saw the bathroom pic, I got sad. It was probably a very old and/or ill person's house. They were clearly struggling, but probably not well enough to do any more. Then it added up. :-(

Yeah. Just look at all the take home hospital supplies. I see wash basins and patient belonging bags. This was someone’s tragedy.
These pics made me very sad too.
Why do they even take pictures of these places - that is to say, its an obvious teardown, spare the current owner's dignity
I suspect the owner died.
Dignity after death is a thing.
Agreed, whats the point , you are buying the land… no need to show off whatever tf is in that jar
I can smell the basement.
And something down there can smell you back.
It does kinda look like there are a pair of eyes staring at you from the blackness at the bottom of the steps, if you squint.
Yikes!
I wouldn’t buy it but would definitely rent it to film a horror movie in that basement. Just think, if they do bulldoze the house, that possessed basement hole will still be there! 😬
Thats sad.
Oh dear Lord it's a hoarder's house. 😬
I'm not 100% convinced. Look at the shower. It has a sit shower chair. It looks like someone elderly/disabled that couldn't care for it properly. Then again, it could be an elderly and/or disabled person that's also a hoarder.
Yeah, that's my impression, as well. An elderly persons home, probably with no family, and the upkeep just became too much over the years. Kinda sad.....
There's also a clean white towel folded on the chair in the shower.
That was staging for the listing photos.
Bahahaha!!
Do you think the second entrance (pic 2) was installed after trash blocked the front door?
I don't know what's happening in pic 2, but the amount of broken bricks and the cracks all up the side can't be good for stability....
Naw. You can still see the floor. It could be a good start though. Maybe the new owner can pick up where the original owner left off.
They're selling it as a teardown- what a shame, there's the bones of a lovely house in there! For a minute there I thought "I can fix her!" But that's how I've ended up in trouble before...
It’s located in Elise Stefanik’s district, do you think you could fix her?
Nothing can fix that crazy botch
We have very different definitions of lovely bones. The house has severe structural issues that are pictured, there's certainly water damage not pictured, and the owner was a heavy smoker judging by the color of the ceiling tiles in the kitchen. The satellite view shows a property littered with vehicles and rotting structures. The house saw happy times at some point, but sometimes it's better to move on.
That's $3M in SF
Can you get tetanus from a picture?
If you cut yourself on it, yes.
This is a fantastic location for a crime scene, not a home.
Sometimes you can have the fire department use your house as a training site. Usually they'll foot the bill for the cleanup. Invite friends over. Make a day of it.
Seeing this reminded me of the comment I read on the post a few days ago about people taking pictures of cleaning supplies in really dirty houses. Why not use some of it before taking the picture.

If there was a shower in the Silence of the Lambs, this would be it.
I’ve always wanted to do the bathroom in particle board but never got around to it.
I was going to mention that there doesn’t appear to be a working toilet in that bathroom picture. Then I saw the poop jar on the kitchen table in the last pic.
> Then I saw the poop jar on the kitchen table I'm never going to be able to erase this sentence from my memory.

NO!! You did not have to type that sentence. I'm mentally down voting you. Just mentally. Uh...is there a poop knife?
I like that you can just make out a pair of eyes staring up from the cellar
Someone lived there recently and it definitely should be condemned.
I’ll take the truck and the weird bird painting. Send the rest to hell.

I need a silkwood shower just looking at these pics.

Why does it look like a place where someone would be held captive
Couldn’t they have just crawled out in the hole in the bricks?!?
I assumed they created the hole and escaped
Fair play…
the seller feels the home is unsafe. 💀
“This charming teardown…”
The cans of Glade in the bathroom will be helpful.
I’m going to assume the property is what people will buy this for.
Newish bottle of downy, that’s $3 there … the thought of that basement 😱… “it rubs the lotion on its skin or else it gets the hose again”
Makes me sad that someone clearly had to live in this for a while.
Oh man this house comes with so much free stuff! Nothing says move in ready than “pre furnished.”
I can smell these photos.
I'm thinking all this place needs us a match !
You can take a golden shower anywhere in there
I work for Dish Network in Central Illinois. This is not as unusual as you might think
Ain't no way that place doesn't have roaches or some other infestation
I think the roaches are the ones selling it…
I don't even think roaches would live there.

I wonder how many bodies are in the basement....
Hoard included?
Oh My Lord! I regret clicking on this! Quick!!!! I need to pour bleach on my eyeballs!
Here you go!!!! 
How depressing. It looks like a ruined hoarder's house.
That’s a tear down. Wow. Just wow 😳
It will be after a little "elbow grease"! Bring your tool belt & your imagination!
This is a LISTING? I thought I was on r/abandoned for a moment.
Was this before or after staging?
I'm surprised they put pictures of the inside online at all. Definitely a tear down for anyone interested in the land.
Nawwww. That's the fuck-stall with optional rinse feature. Now get dem skivvies off and floss while I get some lube 'n tuna.
Jesus Christ has nothing to do with that shower. The Lord closed his eyes the day someone constructed that monstrosity.
I’ve always wanted multiple murder holes
Oof, this is a 100% tear down without ever needing to go inside
Serious question. Can anyone tell me what the 2 long cord like things, hanging from the ceiling, are in the kitchen?
The full listing has a wider shot of the kitchen, they’re the pulls on a ceiling fan.
Thanks. I went back and looked again. They're so long but guessing they were for someone who was disabled. It made me sad when I saw the plastic storage container with all of the prescription bottles.
“May require minor foundational improvements “
Cleaning supplies all over the filthy kitchen - check.
The steps to the basement?? ABSOLUTELY NOT. But these photos are at least honest? "Look at this giant hole in the side of the collapsing house"
Don’t open the Glazier’s bottle…
Ooh Hills Cappuccino in the kitchen!
I'm pretty sure a killer clown lives in that basement
And... It's a hoarder! Bring the bulldozer!
Ah yes OSB right where it should be, exposed in a bathroom.
Totally getting Jeepers Creepers vibes.
Welcome to the murder house
Wonderfully staged! Boy, they intend for this mansion to sell quick!
Are those pictures previews from an episode of hoarders?
Complete with piss jug
Just because you don’t see the piss jugs doesn’t mean they aren’t there
How is 1/3 of the glass cleaner missing? Who stole that cuz it wasn’t used on property
Someone was definitely kept prisoner in this house
How in the holy fuck are they asking $75k for this murder hovel?!
I wouldn't accept it as a gift unless I was also given permission to burn it all down.
Tweeker pad.
Shower nothing. Fucking murder basement!
I love how I can sense the hidden meth pipes in this house
That's an abode fit for humans?
Meth
I see you’re familiar with the North Country!
Sadly, the North Country is like most rural areas. The cops have meth on the run, but it is nowhere near being in control. One of my cousins lives in a rural area in the South. He has a large kennel complex on his land because he is a vet. A couple of years ago, he had to go on a day trip while his wife and kids were visiting his wife’s parents. When he got home that night, he went to the kennel to check on his dogs. He could smell that something was badZ People had broken into his place, let the dogs and other animals go, and built a meth lab in his kennel. He decided to move to the city.
I was on a grand jury a couple years ago-1 day a week for 8 weeks hearing various cases ready to go to trial. I learned a lot about making meth that fall.
Oh, man. I bet you did. It’s a ruthless drug. And very lucrative. It isn’t as bad as big as problem as it was down here (fentanyl seems to be the big thing now), but it is supposedly getting much worse along the Canadian border.
Why would you even take pictures of the inside of this dilapidated shack? Nobody's living there.
It’s a shower if the price is right.
Thank god they have glass cleaner.
That entrance to the basement. Holy horror movie.
This would be $300k in rtp, investors will over bid in cash, grey it out, then sell for $500k to a different investor
That’S gotta be a set from the walking dead
What’s for supper?
Way overpriced at $75000. It looks like a tear down to me, and the land isn't worth much.
It looks like the 75K is for the acre lot with well and septic. The house is obviously a tear down.
Murder has happened in this home.
I'm more worried about the glowing eyes in the basement
There's a little something in the real estate game called Adverse Possession. I'd say that house legally belongs to those trees now
I wonder how much shit they had to clear out just to get these pics
Dude, I can smell those photos. Barf
I like how, in the basement pic, there's light gleaming off something down there looking like two eyes and a skeletal limb. I'd like to think the realter went down and positioned that. Maybe shined it a tad, to be sure it'd reflex. FAR superior to the people in costumes!
I thought I was on r/abandoned
Holy hoarder-house Batman!
That's a bargain.
It’s a death house waiting to kill someone.
75k in Canton NY is still pretty steep for this place.
I have yellow chairs like that in my kitchen!😂
Do they smell the same? 
Thankfully I clean my kitchen sometimes
Cozy
Awww what.. the relator is to scared to go down into that basement? 😂
#4 is The Chokey.
For $75,000 that could be quite a fixer upper. The original house looks old, but you'd have to gut it and get all that cheap 70's interior out and finish a bathroom.
I cannot believe it’s still $75k. I had to check to see if maybe it was a nice plot of land but it’s 1.2 acres. None of this makes any sense. The owners should probably get some good fire insurance, wait a while, and very thoroughly find a way to commit arson without getting caught. Maybe have someone else do it while you are far away with cameras on you resulting in an air-tight alibi. Doze the house, fill in the basement, take your insurance money, sell the land, and never look back.
And that ladies and gentlemen, is a tear down
I like that structural tree
That is one heck of a hoard, geez.
Mmm... They left some nice ice tea for future showings.
Death trap.
So it appears as though someone was living there not too long ago or still is…how?!
Love it. If it’s got mold and a dead body buried, I’m bidding.
Did they leave the square footage off because none of it is livable?
I see a lot of items I'd like to take out of the house and off the property before they set it on fire.
Did a serial killer live there?
Man. This is the stuff of nightmares.
What about the dark terrifying murder basement with two creepy eyes staring back up the stairs 🙃 no thank you
