This Los Angeles home that just sold for $2.29 million has an incredibly chilling past
Alexis Vaughn
Los Angeles' most notorious house has just sold for a cool $2.29 million, Curbed LA reported. Long rumored to be haunted by previous residents, the home was originally listed in March for $2.7 million, boasting beautiful views, a glass conservatory, formal dining room, and a third-floor ballroom and bar.
However, the home has in fact been uninhabited since the 1959 murder-suicide that occurred in one of its four bedrooms. Dr. Harold Perelson, a cardiologist 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.
Listing agent Nancy Sanborn told Curbed that the new owners plan to fix up the home before moving in.
Just before the house went on the market, photographer Alexis Vaughn was able to go inside the property and capture a few images of its interior. Below are 14 photos that Vaughn told us she hopes "transports my viewers there."
