Nightmare on Elm Street House is for Sale

1428 N. Genesee Ave, LA, CA 90046 can be your address if you have the guts to live in the place that Freddy Krueger haunted.
What will you get for $1,095,000 in the Hollywood right off Sunset & Fairfax? Four bedrooms, 3.5 baths, an office, a pool, and the scariest basement in all of LA.
Bonuses include an endless stream of tourists and horror fans taking pictures of your home. A million dollar house is around a $5,500 a month mortgage, depending on what you put down.
LAist thinks opening up the place for the upcoming Haunted House season might be a way to put a nice dent into that nut once a year. And it might be a way to get the ladies over -- "wanna see the house that made Johnny Depp famous?"
