The Spanish-style mansion at 2475 Glendower Place in Los Angeles is a gorgeous residence. With beautiful views, a glass conservatory, formal dining room and library, breakfast room, and a third-floor ballroom and bar, it's easy to see why its current listing price is $2.7 million.

But there's something the listing won't tell you, a dark secret known by many who live in the area.

The home has in fact been uninhabited since the 1959 murder-suicide that occurred in one of its four bedrooms. Cardiologist Harold Perelson, who lived in the house with his wife and three children, was the alleged murderer - killing his wife with a ball-peen hammer, attacking his daughter, and finally taking his own life.

Infamous for its chilling story, the house has remained somewhat of a time capsule. While it's been used as storage for some of its more recent owners, only one family is rumored to have lived on the property since the incident. If the rumors are true, they fled in the middle of the night on the anniversary of the killing.

Just before the house went on the market, photographer Alexis Vaughn was able to go inside the property and take a few images of its interior. Ahead, 14 images that Vaughn told us she hopes "transports my viewers there."
