FREDERICK, COLORADO – The Colorado home where a tragic incident took place is now back on the market with a hefty price tag. The 5-bedroom residence in Frederick, Colo., known for the infamous events involving Chris Watts and his family, is now up for sale.
The house, prominently featured in the 2020 Netflix documentary “American Murder: The Family Next Door,” was previously in bankruptcy following the horrific events of 2018. Now, after changing owners, it has been listed for sale at a staggering $775,000, significantly higher than other homes in the area.
Chris Watts, who confessed to killing his wife Shanann and their two daughters, Bella and Celeste, is now serving five life sentences behind bars. Despite the dark history of the property, the listing highlights its attractive features such as a new roof, fresh exterior paint, and a covered porch.
With an age just over 10 years, the house is situated near parks, restaurants, and good schools, making it an appealing choice for potential buyers. However, the price tag may raise eyebrows given the tragic events that occurred within its walls.
Notably, this is not the first time a house with a dark past has been put up for sale. Comparable examples include the JonBenét Ramsey home and the Menendez brothers’ mansion, both of which were purchased despite their notorious histories.
As interested buyers consider the property, they will have to weigh the cost against the property’s history. The question remains – is it worth investing a significant sum in a house with a haunting past? Time will ultimately reveal the answer.
