The Rosenheim Mansion or "The Murder House" of the FX horror/thriller series "American Horror Story" has returned to the market with a lower asking price this time - $5 million.
The giant castle in the Hancock Park neighborhood of Los Angeles earned the moniker "The Murder House" after the series was shot in the residence. Although the interiors look creepy and the backdrop was perfect for shooting, the home is absolutely harmless and not a single haunting has been reported in the house.
Even though the home is not haunted, it is definitely having some hard luck getting sold. Going on and off the market multiple times, it was last listed for $6.3 million before re-surfacing in November 2013 for $7.8 million.
The home is currently listed with Joe Babajian of Rodeo Realty. Not only has it been used in the "American Horror Story" series but has also been featured in other shows like "Californication", "CSI: Miami" and "The Mentalist," according to the Zillow Blog.
The house can probably make use of its faux-haunted status (at least!) because spooky seems to be the new trend in real estate. More recently, the "Hiram Scutt Mansion" in Joliet, Ill., sold above the asking price in a bidding war and that too within weeks of listing!
The Rosenheim Mansion is named after Alfred. F. Rosenheim, a prominent architect based in L.A. He built the house for his family and later it was occupied by a group of nuns called "The Grey Sisters". However, they moved out after the 1994 earthquake, according to Creepy LA.
Listing records of the home state that the residence is a 7,588-square-foot, single-family home, comprised of six bedrooms and five bathrooms. Sitting on a 0.69-acre lot, the three-story, Tudor-style features hardwood floors and beautiful flights of staircases with French doors and glass windows. One of the rooms is completely painted turquoise!
Outside, the home has a spread of green. There is enough parking space too. Check out the photos of the home here.
