Half a house, half a million: A tree-crushed home hits the market in Monrovia

The home was listed for $499,999 after being crushed by a tree, highlighting both the property market demand and the potential for renovations despite its devastation.

Wheeler mentioned that the house holds one bedroom and one bathroom based on pre-damage measurements, and the plumbing is still intact although the electricity is off.

Despite the house being deemed unsalvageable by some, it was humorously referred to as having an 'open-concept floor plan' by the listing agent, reflecting the unusual situation.

The property is subject to fewer regulations because it was destroyed due to an act of God, allowing prospective buyers to renovate without typical demolition reviews.
