Would you want to live in that house?

Granted, it was a beautiful house, and I'm sure most who'd come to this board know it's been extensively renovated and also restored in instances.

But, given the price tag it must have had due to the area and property value alone, plus its notoriety, would you want to live there?

I would not, and not just because supposedly on very wet days one can still faintly smell the smell of cat urine.

Thanks to an IMDB poster on an old thread, this site has extensive photos of the house as it used to be, as well as how it looked in 1979 when it was purchased (post-the Edies), and beyond:

There are also some interesting photos of both Edies on this site.

If by some miracle I could afford the place, hell yeah!

I'd even parade around with a bath mat over my head and a stuffed raccoon under my arm, talking about a sea of trees! Might as well get the most out of it.

I live in an old house, and other than the previous occupants being stoners and drug dealers, I have no idea what has gone on within these walls since the 1940s. It's all clean and in good order now, so no problem. Damn near any wreck of a house can be cleaned and restored.

I love old houses, but to live in a house like that, where people would be driving past and stopping by all the time to gawk, no thanks.
