This century-old house in the cozy, affluent city of Westfield, N.J., has high ceilings, multiple fireplaces, a newly finished basement — and a stalker who welcomes new homeowners with creepy letters.

The infamous Westfield "Watcher" house is back on the market. The colonial-style home, which gained notoriety after its current owners reported getting threatening letters, is on sale for the reduced price of $1.25 million, according to the real estate website Zillow.

Derek and Maria Broaddus closed on the house in 2014 for $1.3 million before they say they received an anonymous letter stating, "My grandfather watched the house in the 1920s and my father watched in the 1960s. It is now my time," NBC News reported.

They never moved into the house.

Instead, they filed a lawsuit in 2015 in Union County Superior Court seeking damages for fraud and breach of contract against the former owners, John and Andrea Woods. They claimed the Woods knew about the letters and should have told them the house was being watched before selling the house.

The former owners say the Broadduses made up the letters and filed to get the lawsuit dismissed, according to the Associated Press.

At first, the Broadduses tried selling the house for $1.5 million. No one jumped at the opportunity.

When the letters surfaced, the Westfield Police Department started looking into the origin of the letters but found no evidence pointing to a suspect. The letters remain under investigation, NBC News reported.
