The Colorado home where Chris Watts killed his wife has hit the market anew, and it’s pretty expensive compared to other homes on the block … TMZ has learned.
The 5-bedroom residence in Frederick, Colo. — which was heavily featured in the 2020 Netflix doc “American Murder: The Family Next Door” — is up for sale right now … this after it went into bankruptcy following the grisly events of 2018.
As we all know … Chris confessed to killing his spouse, Shanann, and their 2 little girls Bella and Celeste — and he’s now serving five life sentences behind bars.
In the aftermath of the murders, the house got taken over by the bank — and eventually got snapped up by a buyer in ’22 for $600k. Now, that owner just listed it for a whopping $775k.
The house itself is really nice, but we took a look at what other homes in that immediate are going for — and this one stands out as one of the more expensive buys on the block. Again … it’s a sweet crib, but it feels priced a bit high considering what happened there.
The listing doesn’t mention the murders — that’s not required in the state FWIW — but it does boast a new roof and new exterior paint for the property, as well as a covered porch. Also, the house is just over 10 years old … and it’s near parks, restaurants and good schools.
This wouldn’t be the first time a murder house was put up for sale despite the gruesome past … just take a look at the JonBenét Ramsey home or the Menendez brothers’ mansion.
Anyway, if someone’s interested … they’re gonna have to plunk down a pretty penny for the property. The question, of course … is it worth it? Time will tell.
