‘Nightmare on Elm Street’ House Hits Market, Offers Due By Halloween

Don’t sleep on this one. The ‘Nightmare on Elm Street’ house could be yours, but you have to act fast, bids are due by midnight of Halloween. The piece of horror movie history, located in the Spaulding Square neighborhood of LA, served as the façade for 1428 Elm St. in Wes Craven’s 1984 classic. Built in 1919, the façade of Dutch Colonial-style home is iconic, Elliman’s Heather T. Roy and Learka Bosnak who represent the listing told the LA Times , “but the ties to the movie stop as soon as you walk through the front door. Inside, it’s a beautiful traditional-style space with a modern twist.” Inside, white walls mingle with warm walnut floors in the living spaces, which are navigated by dramatic arched doorways, the LA Times noted. The three bedroom, four bathroom homes includes terraces, patios and picture windows that overlook landscaped grounds dotted with citrus trees and a swimming pool. Across the property, a guesthouse adds a kitchen, designer bathroom and pergola-topped patio. Read the full LA Times story here.
