Historic Missouri Home Comes With 9 Functioning Jail Cells

"Possibilities are amazing with this property," its realtor.com listing says.

FAYETTE, MO — This beautiful, move-in ready brick home comes complete with an open-concept kitchen, spacious master bathroom and its own prison. Wait, what?

Located in Fayette, Missouri, the historic 1875 house was originally the residence of the Howard County Sheriff, but it underwent extensive renovations in 2005, according to its realtor.com listing.

Bars on most windows will surely be a comfort to the security-conscious homebuyer.

While only featuring two bedrooms and one bathroom, it does have nine functioning jail cells and an additional half bath to provide plenty of space for a growing family. Granted, the half bath is a bare toilet in the middle of the cell, but the kids won't mind — probably.

The house is listed for $350,000, which seems like a bargain for horror movie aficionados or anyone with unconventional hobbies.
