In The Market For A "Murder House?" 'American Horror Story' Mansion For Sale
Fans of the new serial horror-drama TV series "American Horror Story" who also have $4.5 million to spare can score the Alfred F. Rosenheim Mansion - the residence where the show's pilot was shot.
Located in the upscale L.A. neighborhood of Country Club Park, the house is referred to as "Murder House" in the show. ScienceFiction.com assures potential buyers that the mansion is not actually haunted, not one foot of its 10,440 square feet.
Here are a few property highlights: 6 bedrooms, 5 baths, a grand ballroom currently being used as a recording studio, "the whole shebang of Tiffany fixtures," 6 vintage Batchelder tile fireplaces, a solarium and a nearly full acre of land. The mansion's property listing says the "residence evokes the quality and grandeur of a bygone era and represents a once-in-a-generation opportunity."
The Rosenheim Mansion's current asking price, though steep, can be seen as an opportunity, as the property was listed at nearly twice its current price last year - $8.5 million.
"American Horror Story," for those of you who are unfamiliar, "revolves around the Harmons, a family of three who moved from Boston to Los Angeles as a means to reconcile past anguish," according to the show's official site. The show premiered on October 5 of this year on FX and has been renewed for a second season. It graces television sets at 10pm every Wednesday night.
