The exact cause is undetermined, but neighbors say they spotted squatters going in and out of the home on a regular basis.
Some paperwork in a front window of the home was posted by a property preservation company, who essentially protect and preserve vacant properties.
Damage is estimated at $75,000. No injuries were reported.
