With the U.S. housing market taking a 35-year plunge, it seems even some of cinema’s more infamous abodes aren’t impervious to the drop. Now you can own the four-bedroom home located at 1428 Elm Street, or more accurately 1428 N. Genesee Ave in Hollywood, CA, which Realtor.com is currently featuring here, for the bargain price of $1,095,000. The listing describes the home as a “Spaulding Square fixer opportunity. With some work this could be your Family Dream Home, backyard with pool 4 entertaining, 4 bedrooms 3.5 bath & office. Terrific living room with fireplace, formal dining room and bar set up.” No mention of the fact that Nancy Thompson and family, as well as a series of others, had rather unfortunate stays in the home, but to horror fans the structure is easily recognizable as Freddy Krueger’s preferred haunt (the current homeowner’s decision to change the door and trim color from blue to green isn’t fooling anyone).
