AN unassuming house has hit the market for just $250,000 – but there’s a surprise tucked away in the basement.
The three-bedroom, two-bathroom home in Marietta, Pennsylvania, US, appears to be a typical family abode, with cosy furnishings and wooden accents.

But lurking downstairs is something far from normal.
An innocent wooden door leads to an ominous stone hallway, with stairs leading down into a cave hidden underneath the house.
The property, which was built in 1900, is described on the listing as a “special house.”
It read: “Starting outside, you see the beautiful patio area that opens up or closes for privacy. There is a hidden area for the trashcans too to keep the beautiful aesthetic.

“Enter the home through the kitchen which has tons of cabinet space and countertops. Once you walk into the living room you are welcomed with lots of natural light and the openness of the space.
“The home has plenty of beautiful accent pieces like the large wooden beams, built-in closets, hidden compartments, small windows near the stairs, and grand light fixtures.
“The bedrooms upstairs are huge with plenty of closet space. There are over seven off-street parking spaces and a good-sized backyard for enjoyment.
“Oh yeah, and I forgot to mention the actual cave in the basement! Bring your ideas, or fascination with history and come see this unique home!”
