Quaint San Francisco home goes on the market for $1.5M — but it’s got a sinister past
A house in San Francisco where a shocking family tragedy unfolded last fall has now been listed for sale, with an asking price of $1.49 million.
The property, located at 930 Monterey Boulevard in the Westwood Highlands area, is a three-bedroom, two-bath residence that once appeared to be a typical suburban family home.
In October, authorities responding to the home found four people dead: Thomas Ocheltree, 57, his wife Paula Truong, 52, and their two daughters, who were 9 and 12 years old. According to investigators, the family had been struggling financially after several unsuccessful business ventures and increasing debt.
Police believe Truong shot her husband and the two children before taking her own life.
About five months after the incident, the house has been cleaned and prepared for sale, giving the nearly century-old property another chance on the market.
Although the $1.49 million listing price may sound high outside the Bay Area, it is considered relatively low for the neighborhood, where similar homes frequently sell for more than $2 million. Under California law, real estate agents must inform potential buyers if a death has occurred on a property within the past three years.
Built in the 1920s, the home includes several traditional San Francisco features such as large bay windows, an updated kitchen, refinished hardwood floors, and freshly painted interiors. Whether buyers will look past the home’s recent history remains uncertain.
