* Location: Montclair, New Jersey
* Price: $10!

The 4,000 square foot Victorian mansion was expected to attract a lot of buyers due to the attractive price.
On the contrary, it was never sold, and the city council had to demolish the place. The reason he didn't

Until the death of the previous owner, the house was used as a storage unit as there was no electricity or plumbing.
Koechlin considered turning the place into a complex, but the property was between a hill and a highway, which made it impossible to have a parking space.
