Nightmare on Elm Street house could be yours for $3 million

Seeking a Friend for the End of the World, The Meddler, and Hustlers director Lorene Scafaria is selling the home she has lived in for the last eight years – and that has caught our attention here at Arrow in the Head because her home happens to be that iconic house that sits at 1428 Elm Street in Springwood, Ohio in the Nightmare on Elm Street franchise. In our reality, it’s located at 1428 N Genesee Ave in Los Angeles. Scafaria purchased the house for the price of $2.1 million in 2013, and is now selling it for $3.25 million.

The house was built in 1919, and from the street it looks pretty close to the way it did in the Elm Street movies. As a realtor told the Los Angeles Times, on the inside it’s “a beautiful traditional-style space with a modern twist.”

White walls mingle with warm walnut floors in the living spaces, which are navigated by dramatic arched doorways. In total, there are three bedrooms and four bathrooms across two stories. Terraces, patios and picture windows overlook the landscaped grounds dotted with citrus trees and a swimming pool. Across the property, a guesthouse adds a kitchen, designer bathroom and pergola-topped patio.

You can take a virtual tour of the house on Zillow. The interior is much fancier, brighter, and more modern than I would hope the inside of the Elm Street house to be… but it doesn’t really matter what I think of the interior design, since $3.25 million is a bit outside of my price range. The estimated monthly payments are around $14,000.

Since this is the Elm Street house and we’re in the midst of Halloween season, the realtors noted that they will be at the house on Halloween to hand out candy to trick-or-treaters.
