Smith told the New York Post that the seven siblings who owned the home and grew up on the property "don't have the capacity to fix it up and turn it into an attraction or an Airbnb," so they opted to sell it to give someone else a chance to do that.
The house "had been in their family their whole lives," according to Smith, who estimated that necessary repairs and renovations on the over 100-year-old residence would cost somewhere between $50,000 and $100,000.
