The world has closely followed the story of this little Seattle house that belonged to a tough old lady named Edith Macefield. When developers sough to build a shopping mall on her block, Macefield reportedly refused offers mounting to $1 million; she would not sell her beloved cottage, only to watch it torn down and replaced by a commercial monolith.

This time, it’s been put on the market by the investment company who took possession after its former caretaker passed away.
