According to Zillow, the two bedroom/one bathroom home encompasses a total area of 832 square feet and is currently listed for $US35,000, which is just shy of $AU50,000.

“Don’t miss this unique basement home located on a large, beautiful corner lot,” the listing reads.

“This property offers lots of possibilities! Currently the home is rented but could be a great home to buy and build a larger home with the spacious lot there are plenty of possibilities.”

The property also offers a large 12×16 shed – the only part of the house that isn’t underground.
