Massive underground secret is hidden beneath this picturesque little home. Take a look
On the outside, it simply looks like the picture-perfect ivory-painted house that contrasts in a charming way against the backdrop of the parakeet green trees surrounding it. Normal in almost every way a 2,400-square-foot home could be.
But underneath, it’s a different story — a really big one.
The four-bedroom, three-bathroom house on the real estate market in Pepperell, Massachusetts, for $850,000 sits on a “disaster proof 7,200-square-foot, climate controlled underground vault.”
And yes, it’s as cool-looking as you think it would be.
“The vault, located across the driveway, was built for the Army Corps of Engineers in the late ’80s as a place to store bank records off-site,” listing agent Greg Maiser told Realtor.com.
“The house was built in 1988, so someone had bought the parcel that featured a deconstructed vault. It’s a really unique, 7,000-square-foot vault because it is larger than a lot of houses, and obviously is the main driver of this property.”
Some standout features of the primary home include:
High ceilings
Fireplace
“Modern kitchen”
Dining area
Roof solar panels
Hardwood floors
Deck
According to the photos, there’s also a garden on the property.
The listing is held by Greg and Chris Maiser of Re/Max Professional Associates.
