The True Cost of TV and Film’s Most Famous Houses
TV and film houses have mesmerized audiences for years, but people forget that these properties are very much real and actually belong to someone in real life. And there are some instances when these famous houses have gone on the market.
That’s the good news.
The bad news is that these properties cost more than most filmgoers and TV viewers will make in a lifetime.
But just in case you were wondering if you could afford an apartment in New York like Rachel and Monica, or a house in San Fransisco like the Tanner family, here’s how much these favorite homes really cost.
“Amityville Horror,” $850,000
The home from the film “Amityville Horror” is located in Amityville in Long Island, New York. But while the 5,000 square-foot, 5-bedroom, 3.
5-bathroom home is worth a measly $850,000, it comes with a bad reputation for being haunted by sinister forces.
“Groundhog’s Day,” $645,000
In the film “Groundhog Day,” Bill Murray’s character, Phil, was stuck in a time-loop. So, naturally, the Victorian mansion that served as a B&B was seen lots of time throughout the movie.
In reality, the property is located in Woodstock, Illinois, and is also used as a B&B. But anyone who wants to own this home would have to pay $645,000.
“A Christmas Story,” $150,000
This is the home where Ralphie and his parents and brother lived in the classic holiday film “A Christmas Story.” The property is located in Cleveland, Ohio, and was purchased for $150,000.
The owner, Brian Jones, opened the property to tourists, and now, up to 6 fans can stay here for $395 a night.
“The Notebook,” $1.277 Million
This was the home that Noah built for Allie, the woman he loved in the romantic drama “The Notebook.” The 4,255 square-foot, 5-bedroom, 4.5-bathroom property is located in Wadmalaw Island, South Carolina, and has an estimated cost of $1.
