Can you guess what movie this house is from? Its not that difficult, and its not ever a nice house, but what’s under it makes it special. Still don’t know? Well OK. Its the house from The Goonies and it comes in at #5 of the movies houses we would live in. Its not a terrible location, on the water and all. Maybe it even comes with the deformed man in the basement. It seems old so the price should not be astronomical, but we highly doubt it has central heating.
At #4 is the Swiss Family Robinson Tree House. This is not just any old tree house that your dad built on weekends for 3 years, and kept promising that it would get done. This is a monster house, with many many rooms, and bridges and the view is probably phenomenal. Electricity might be an issue, and no washer or dryer is rough but it comes with mosquito nets and bear traps just in case. If its anything like the ride in Disneyland, it really shouldn’t be that bad.
In at #3 is the Ghostbuster’s Stationhouse. This would have been #1, but the ghost factor is not as attractive as it sounds. The building looks old, and the plumbing is no way up to par. The garage is a good asset as well as the location, however Manhattan property is nice, especially with its own parking. It’s probably a pricey investment, due to the three L’s. Location , Location and Location. The taxes must be ridiculous and all the radiation from their gear and weapons can’t be good for your kids.
Unfortunately , #2 is a fictional house. The house from Clue does not exist and the mansion was actually made up from a painting and miniatures. However, the driveway is real, and its located in Pasadena, California. For the right price it probably can be bought and the house built. From what we remember from the movie, the rooms were huge, the ceilings were high, and the kitchen was massive. The old Victorian style home seems fit for a scholar or someone with old money. Butlers and dinner parties are optional.
And at #1 is the house from Ferris Buhler’s Day Off. Not only is this the coolest house of them all, its actually for sale and you can purchase it. $2.3 million is the price and for what it is, its quite a deal. Located in Highland Park, Illinois, if you buy this house we don’t recommend you crash a Ferrari or any other car through the glass into the ditch below. Unless you can afford it, and you love the movie that much that recreating the famous scene is the reason you bought the house, then go for it. But make sure you record it.
There are definitely houses that we missed, even apartments like the one from American Psycho or even the house from Psycho, Richie Rich, Mike Tyson’s home in The Hangover and we can go on and on, but these were classic ones so we stuck with those.
