Fancy buying a four-bedroom 1920s house for £9,000? Now you can – but there’s a catch

Fancy being a homeowner in one of the most expensive cities in the world for just £9,000?

Well, now you can – but there’s a catch.

This four-bedroom detached house in New York looks like a dream family home straight from a Hollywood movie.

The gorgeous cream and pink painted exterior exudes the classic 1920s design, and walking through the gated front garden, visitors are greeted by steps to the outdoor landing and its original front door.

Inside the 5,080 square foot property are a gorgeous set of pillars leading to the spacious living room area, which is still home to the original fireplace.

The original wooden stairway bannister also remains intact, offering a glimpse of the roaring 20s decor.

All of this for the price of one year at university? Bargain.

But the catch is you’ll need to show proof of $100,000 (£76,428) in the bank in order to fund the much-needed renovation.

The kitchen has seen better days with outdated appliances and filthy floor tiling.

Meanwhile the carpets in the living room and upstairs bedrooms seem coated in dirt and are in desperate need of an overhaul.

Despite all the works needed, the house oozes potential and benefits from an envy-inducing location.

Estate agents have estimated a $88,000 (£67,257) bill for the renovation of the property – but anyone sitting on a nest egg may want to get their offers in quickly to snap up the home.
