A couple bought an old house and discovered to their surprise what was inside. While expecting to find a messy and dilapidated property, they stumbled across a well-kept place and an interesting number of objects inside. The purchase came unexpectedly, after taking over another property that they will use to rent.
Every day, all kinds of viral content circulate on social networks. Thanks to the diffusion power that platforms have, any story can reach thousands of users in a matter of minutes. Within this extensive universe, there are some formats and issues that are repeated and that are seen more frequently than others.
One of them is the one that has to do with houses, property purchases and tours inside of them. Users exhibit in detail the discoveries they make in the houses and many times they themselves are surprised by what they find.
This was what happened on this occasion with Maggie and Matt McGaugh, an American couple who live by renting properties through the Airbnb platform. On this occasion, both were looking for a home in Caddo Lake, Texas to use for that purpose, according to CNBC.
In the first instance, both found a property that has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. Without hesitation, they acquired it for the sum of $350,000 Dollars. Although they were very happy with the place, they discovered a problem with the neighboring house. The door of the house next door faced the house they recently bought to put up for rent.
Since this situation bothered them, they both investigated and found that the aforementioned house was also for sale. . According to what they heard from a neighbor, the property had been 20 abandoned for years and had been donated to a non-profit foundation profit. The couple acquired it for a figure close to $200,000.
Beyond 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms that the place has, the really amazing thing is that it was fully furnished and in great condition. According to Maggie, there was even electricity service despite the time of abandonment. “I feel like I went back in time and I was walking in a museum,” he described.
In addition to this, the objects found inside have great value and are part of the surprising setting with which the couple met. The owners estimated that what they found inside has an estimated value of $25,000, between furniture and some collectible objects such as pieces of art.
The new owner shared some pictures through her TikTok account. In the bottom of the post, she remarked how good the experience of keeping the property was. Despite the good condition, both this house and the one they bought in the first place underwent renovations to be in better condition when they were published on Airbnb. Both hope that in a few months they will be able to put them into operation.
