Mystery Fans Love Secret Room Inside a $1.3M Garden City Listing

🕵🏽‍♀️ Before we begin our search for the secret room, let's huddle!

Mystery Novelties

Growing up, our team loved the thrill of mystery novels. Since most of us were '90s teens, you would've found everything from Nancy Drew to Goosebumps, or morbid reads from V.C. Andrews and Scary Stories to Tell In the Dark.

Our Pizza Hut reading log was lit, ya'll.

The novelty of mystery novels captivates adolescent readers in ways other genres don't. We become enthralled with plots rife with stolen fortunes, secret passages, and murderers on the loose. And despite our parents' disapproval, we befriend scalawags and unscrupulous thieves, justifying their motives like the best sidekicks do.

We know there's danger lurking about that damp cellar in the dead of night. But what do we care? We're on our parents' comfy couch in jammies, slurping powdery clumps of Nesquik through a crazy straw. At 12-years-old, braving treacherous conditions and sparring with unhinged antagonists was just another Tuesday night for the books.

Big Kids With Mortgages

As the years pass, many a mystery-loving foot soldier has gone AWOL. But the real ones? The OG book nerds? Page after page, we're still here. We're still living double-lives and solving outlandish mysteries. Only now, we're just big kids with mortgages.

Give Us the Gargoyles

Are we buying Midcentury homes and reading the décor gospel according to Joanna Gaines?

Yes, but our hearts lay elsewhere. Victorian homes make our pulse race. Gargoyles perched atop gothic mansions are macabre masterpieces. A property alleged to be haunted? Escrow, please. We dream of owning a storied home with mysterious nooks and curious crannies.

Secret Admirer

All things considered, it makes sense we'd fall in love with this Garden City home. Listed at $1.3M, it checks the same boxes all luxury homes do. But this beauty on the banks of the Boise River harbors a secret we admire.

Mystery lovers, seek and you shall find! Use your sleuthing skills to locate the secret room hidden within this seemingly ordinary home.
