It appears a little Hollywood fame did not pay off for one Whittier Victorian that got a screen credit in Hocus Pocus. The home that served as the Devil’s residence in the cult classic film had been listed for $995,000 earlier this Summer, and after a price reduction, the residence sold at the end of September for $799,000—nearly $200,000 under the original asking.
The Victorian-style home sits across from a park in the Historic Central Park District of Whittier. Loaded up potential, the residence boasts a charming and spacious wrap-around front and side porch, leading to a large front room with high ceilings and pro views.
Other features include a large family room with fire place, family-size dining room, built-in dual-sided glass buffet and a large kitchen with generous pantry and storage buffets.
A sweeping staircase leads to the second floor with four bedrooms and a full bath. An extra-large attic with windows provides lots of storage and expansion potential!
The long private driveway leads to the backyard featuring an enclosed gazebo and playhouse plus a basketball court. There’s also a two-car garage with a large loft and a small basement.
