Hey you guys! The iconic house from ‘The Goonies’ is up for sale
Global News
It was the birthplace of the "Truffle Shuffle" and where "The Goonies" gang discoverd the map to One-Eyed Willie's gold.
Nostalgic ’80s film fans can now own the very property where the “Truffle Shuffle” was first put out into the world.
The classic Victorian-style home where the gang from The Goonies plotted out their treasure hunt is up for sale.
The Astoria, Ore., property was listed earlier this month by Jordan Miller of John L. Scott Real Estate for US$1.65 million.
Cinephiles will be stoked to learn the home’s exterior remains very true to the 1985 film, although the window casings and door are now orange, not red. Also missing, somewhat disappointingly, is the Rube Goldberg machine that powered the home’s front gate and was featured in the movie’s opening scenes.
Nevertheless, the historic home, which was built in 1896, measures 1,935 sq. ft. and includes four bedrooms and two bathrooms. The current owner gave the home a recent refresh, with an updated kitchen, new carpet and fresh paint.
And let’s not forget the amazing ladder that led the Goonies into the attic where they discovered the map to One Eyed-Willie’s gold — that remains in the house, too.
The home also features sweeping views of the Columbia River flowing into the Pacific Ocean and the listing describes it as “fully loaded with history, nostalgia and iconic level of fame.”
Miller told The Associated Press that he’s had a few parties express interest in the home with the intent of making it more accessible to movie fans.
