Househunters with a taste for cinematic history will be thrilled to learn that the famed residence of Laurie Strode, portrayed by Jamie Lee Curtis in the iconic “Halloween” film series, is now up for sale in Pasadena, California.
Listed for $1.8 million, this historic property has been in the same family for nearly three generations and offers an impressive 5,258 square feet of living space, featuring four bedrooms and three bathrooms.
Realtor Heidi Babcock, in the property description, highlights the house’s connection to the 1978 film “Halloween,” where it served as the home of Laurie Strode. She notes, “If you watch the film, you’ll recognize the infamous stoop that Jamie Lee Curtis sat on, holding a pumpkin.”
Additionally, Babcock reveals that the house is divided into three separate units. Unit #1 comprises a spacious 1-bedroom suite with a bath, living room, dining room, kitchen, pantry, utility room, basement, and a large river rock porch. Unit #2 offers 2 bedrooms, 1 bath, and a kitchen, while unit #3 provides 1 bedroom, 1 bath, a living room, and a kitchen.
Each of these units boasts picturesque windows and lovely views of the surrounding trees and neighborhood. The property also features a fruit-bearing avocado tree, which was planted by the seller’s grandfather in the 1940s.
According to Babcock, “This exceptional property is a wonderful place to live, work, and play in one of the most desirable communities in greater LA.”
Jamie Lee Curtis, now 64, first portrayed the character Laurie Strode in the 1978 cult classic “Halloween.” She reprised the role in several sequels before the franchise’s conclusion in 2022.
In February 2022, the star posted a poignant photo on Instagram, marking her last day on set as “bittersweet.” She told People in March, “The last thing I ever thought I would do is another ‘Halloween’ movie five years ago. And then now I’ve made three of them. They have been incredibly well-received. People love them. This last movie is very emotional, deeply emotional.”
Curtis also shared that she shed tears on the final day of filming, expressing, “I’m a sobber. I said goodbye to a crew of people who have been so generous to me, who were so warm and loving to me. Because Laurie Strode had the ‘S’ kicked out of her — she emotionally had so much going on, this sweet girl — and they were always there. It was hard to say goodbye to them.”
