In order to have your dream property, you need to pay attention to all the details.But what if you found the perfect place, but then you discovered it had a slightly disturbing history?

Then would you consider giving it up?Well, if it was this particular house in Missouri, I sure as hell would.

Social media users have been left baffled after they got an insight into the property because the basement really stood out from the rest of the house.

But there were some clues throughout the photos...

See if you can spot some as I take you through a tour of the house, including haunting pictures of the dreaded basement.So, the house looks great from the outside.

It has a nice size and shape to the building.
This beautiful house was built all the way back in 1875.

And is 2465 square feet.Most of the rooms are very spacious...

And it has a unique ambience about it...It looks pretty good, right?

I would love to live in a house with a rich history...But this one might just have taken that fact a little too far.Here's a look at the dining room...
via: House of Brokers
You could host some good dinner parties here.And the little details are stunning to see...
via: House of Brokers
Just look at how gorgeously crafted these locks are.The kitchen also has so much potential.

Despite it being a historic house, you can see the modern furnishings that give it the potential to work for any kind of family.Even the current furnishings could work.

"Wait until you get to picture #30!!" House of Brokers Realty has written in its listing, but there's a special reason for that.The photographer really likes his close-ups, doesn't he?
via: House of Brokers
As you'll find more evidence of later on.It seems like a pretty normal house, at first glance.
via: House of Brokers
This is one of the "half-bathrooms", with the main one being one of the main attractions of the property.There are also a lot of windows to give the old house some well-deserved light...
via: House of Brokers
The most recent rennovation is said to be worth up to 1.5 million. Wow.And as you can see, the building is very spacious.
via: House of Brokers
But so is the basement... For all the wrong reasons.
The combination of modern and vintage really stands out here.
via: House of Brokers
And I'm totally here for it.It almost distracts me from what's below this room...
via: House of Brokers
But even the beauty of this bathroom wouldn't get me to sign the contract to this place.It's important that you see every single room, so you can get a feel for the place.
via: House of Brokers
It makes the revelation of the basement even more shocking.
That leads down to the abyss...
via: House of Brokers
And the photographer clearly decided to go for a dramatic introduction. It works though.The stairway is giving me Money Heist vibes...
via: House of Brokers
And if you've seen the show, you'll know exactly how haunting that is.Can you see how all the windows have now gone smaller?
via: House of Brokers
And they're all square-shaped now...
Now that stairway contrasts terribly against the one upstairs.
via: House of Brokers
The grey just doesn't sit well with me.I wonder what buyers thought when they reached this part of the viewing?
via: House of Brokers
Yes, those are jail cells.And there are 9 of them in total...
via: House of Brokers
Because this old house used to be Howard County Sheriff's House and Jail. Fun.I mean, if you were thinking of having a massive slumber party, at least you wouldn't have to worry about beds...
via: House of Brokers
There's just something completely insane about this.How are you renovating an entire house for 1.5 million but leaving the basement like this?
via: House of Brokers
It would make sense to have this completely ripped out so there's space for a man cave or something.And the best news is that everyone that moves in can have their own personal cage... I mean room.
via: House of Brokers
Just imagine the weird stuff that happened down here back in the 1900s.And here's the photographer being dramatic with the doors again.
via: House of Brokers
It kind of reminds me of movies when the prison door slams shut and it moves onto a different scene.You know what?
via: House of Brokers
The caged windows are growing on me. If you think about it (like really think about it), it could almost be a sadistic kind of aesthetic.
Why did the photographer zoom into the toilet with the police tape as if this is a selling point?
via: House of Brokers
He must have really been into this creepy kind of stuff.From the outside, you wouldn't even think that this pretty little home has such a haunting history.
via: House of Brokers
But there were subtle clues throughout the building, like the heavy doors, the windows, the grey...But if you take a walk around...
via: House of Brokers
Past the little porch, which is actually pretty cute...On the other side of this wall...
via: House of Brokers
You'd get the biggest clue that this home is only for those who have an acquired taste.
Thank God this is on the side and not the front...
via: House of Brokers
And that concludes our tour. Flashback a hundred years and imagine what was going on here and now it's been renovated into a home and put up for sale. The "unique home with endless possibilities" can be all yours for $350,000, so what do you say? If you want to have another tour of a home for being just as "bonkers", then keep scrolling...
