Creepy and Kooky? Former Addams Family House Listed.


Creepy and Kooky? Former Addams Family House Listed for $799,000








We snapped our fingers and sang the ditty to The Addams Family’s catchy theme song, but before the creepy and kooky family made it to television in 1964, they were just a mere panel cartoon on the pages of the New Yorker magazine.
And now, the home where The Addams Family was conceived is for sale for $799,000.
The “historic Addams Family home” is located on New Jersey’s Westfield real estate market and it’s where cartoonist Charles Addams brought to life the ghoulishly comedic cast of characters, including Gomez, Morticia, Fester, Wednesday, Pugsley, Lurch, Grandmama and the Thing.
While Addams’ life took on the unusual (he retouched photos of corpses in True Detective magazine; married his third wife in a pet cemetery, and was a marked man when his second wife was scheming to “eliminate him”), the home is traditional in look ‘n feel. According to the listing description, the 1907 home has 6 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms and is a historically registered property due to the celebrity status of its the late, great Addams, who lived there until 1947.
The house features a formal living room with fireplace, formal dining room with butler’s pantry, eat-in-kitchen with granite countertops and sliding doors to the deck.
In the back is a richly landscaped backyard, gardener’s shed and two-car detached garage.
If you’re interested in buying this piece of real estate with a macabre twist, the monthly mortgage payment on Addams’ former home is $4,170 a month, based on a 30-year fixed mortgage rate of 3.86 percent with 20 percent down.
