I'll take that turtle.
No, we are the second owners. The original owners did the studs, I guess they were going to build out the basement.Get everything out of the basement, which it seems like you are doing. Why the stud walls in the basement, was it finished at one time and flooded?
If a Broker was hired in the first place, he would have advised you to clean the basement to make the property more desirable.. You stated you had dozens of calls on the property. A Broker would have kept a record of said callers-or back up offers.I hired a broker to sell the home, he is here now. He has two assistants with him, a photographer and a drone operator. Pretty impressed. One drove up in a BMW, next arrived a Mercedes, and the broker in a full size range Rover. I will post later why this is important.
Still too much clutter for a sale. I don't think that party was that interested in the first place.This is what is still left in the basement. Lmk
The red flag is "I have been trying to sell the property since 2009". Think about that for a moment.Might I offer another potential reason - unless this was a cash buyer, mortgage rates have been climbing rapidly this year and the 30-year is now around 6%. I'm surprised you weren't able to sell last year in a seller's market, but buyers are getting picky now. I'm seeing houses stay on market longer, with price drops. Good luck and hope you find a buyer soon. The basement sounds to be much better.
Listing broker was out today with two assistants, a photographer, and a drone operator. He showed me the pics and they look impressive.pics and lots of details, but no link to the actual sale
The place does have a mother in law. Complete with separate entrance and walkway if one wants to use it that way.Buyers expect the house to be completely empty, because they have their own junk. The price of building and plumbing supplies is very high right now it would be a good time to sell that collection.
Nobody wants a sunken floor, at all. It would be worth building over it to make the room flat. An extra kitchen only makes sense if the place is large enough to have a mother-in-law wing, which doesn't seem to be the case.

Yeah, too much stuff, should be empty. Only thing that should be left are fixtures that are attached to the house so those shelves would go too unless they're attached to the walls. The standard phrase around here is broom swept condition at closing. It's basically not empty.This is what is still left in the basement. Lmk
