A three-bedroom home for sale in Pennsylvania has a view that’s to die for. 

Set on the edge of a cemetery, the property has used some creative tactics to lure buyers in. 

“This 1890 unpolished gem, recently subdivided from the Easton Cemetery, affords a chance to restore a piece of history,” the listing says. 

“Adjoining approximately 90 acres of serenity, this home has a location to yearn for!”

Until recently, the three-bedroom, two-bathroom Victorian house was used as the office for the cemetery. 

The graves are just metres away from the house, and can be seen from the kitchen window.

Indoors, there are many historic features that add to the home’s eerie atmosphere, including an ornate cast iron letterbox and a carved staircase. 

The kitchen boasts an island with a sink, extensive cabinet storage, and views of the “quaint backyard”, according to the listing. 

At 193 square metres, the home is already generous in size. But for those who want even more space, there is scope for an extension in the third floor attic. 

There is also a handy basement, currently home to a lurid lime-green bathroom. 

“Truly extraordinary possibilities!” the listing concludes. 

Scott C. Harrington from Coldwell Banker Heritage is the selling agent for this property. The home was listed one week ago, and has already amassed over 4,500 views. 

It’s listed for just $US349,900 ($AU523,000).
