What $849,000 gets you in Newton, MA

People complain that real estate is expensive in Boston.  My wife found a real gem listed in the suburb of Newton, for only $849,000. Seriously.

The rather poetic description (you know how those realtors are) reads: "HOUSE IS UNINHABITABLE AND UNSAFE TO ENTER."  Get it quick before it sells, on the Hammond web site, MLS #70131338.
