hoarder house

Overstuffed living space

A hoarder house is a residence so filled with accumulated possessions that normal living becomes difficult or impossible—pathways between rooms, unusable kitchens, beds buried under stuff.

The term appears in real estate and social services contexts: The property was listed as a hoarder house and sold as-is.

Cleanup often requires professional intervention.
