It’s 1428 Elm Street in Springwood, Ohio in the movies but in real life the iconic house that Nancy Thompson calls home in A Nightmare on Elm Street is 1428 North Genesee Avenue in Los Angeles, California… and just in time for Halloween, it’s back on the market!
The Los Angeles Times reports that the current owners of the iconic horror movie house are parting ways with the property, now on the market for $3.25 million. In a fun and spooky little twist, fitting for the house, all offers must be submitted by Halloween, October 31.
LA Times details, “It’s the first time the home has listed for sale since Lorene Scafaria — director of films such as “Seeking a Friend for the End of the World” and 2019’s “Hustlers” — bought it for $2.1 million in 2013. Surprisingly, the façade still looks similar to how it did in the movie; green shingles still top the portico entry, but the bright-red front door has since been painted black.
“Built in 1919, the Dutch Colonial-style home was a natural choice for the film, which takes place in the fictitious town of Springwood, Ohio. According to the listing agents, Spaulding Square has a distinct lack of palm trees and a variety of other vegetation that give the streets a classic look, so filmmakers often shoot in the neighborhood to portray places outside Southern California.”
The two-story house features three bedrooms and four bathrooms, and right across the street you can see the house of Johnny Depp’s Glen Lantz, just like in Wes Craven’s movie!
