Jamie Lee Curtis’ ‘Halloween’ home sold for $1.7 million

It sold at a killer price.

The home of the fictional character Laurie Strode (played by Jamie Lee Curtis) sold Tuesday for nearly $1.7 million, People reports.

First listed on the market in September, the Pasadena home sits on a massive 5,258 square foot piece of land and boasts four bedrooms and three bathrooms.

According to the original homeowners, who have said to have built the home in 1906, they were initially asking $1.8 million for the iconic building.

“Yes, this was a filming location for the 1978 film ‘Halloween,’ as the house of Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis),” realtor Heidi Babcock wrote in the property description. “If you watch the film you’ll recognize the infamous stoop that Jamie Lee Curtis sat on, holding a pumpkin.”

“Unit #1 is a large 1-bedroom suite with bath, living room, dining room, kitchen, pantry, utility room, basement and a large, charming river rock porch,” Babcock continued in the description.

 “Unit #2 has 2 beds and 1 bath and kitchen and unit #3 has 1 bed and 1 bath, living room and kitchen.”

The home’s original owner stated that “each of the 3 units has picturesque windows and lovely views of the surrounding trees and neighborhood.”

Babcock also stated that the property includes a fruit-bearing avocado tree, which the seller claims to have been planted by their grandfather.

“This exceptional property is a wonderful place to live, work, and play in one of the most desirable communities in greater LA,” Babcock gushed.

The Post reached out to Babcock for comment.

Curtis, 64, first appeared as Strode in the classic 1978 film “Halloween” and last reprised the role in 2022’s “Halloween Ends.”

At the time, the “Knives Out” star posted a photo on Instagram, calling her last day on the film’s set “bittersweet.”

“Everything good in my life can be traced back to Laurie,” Curtis wrote in an essay for People. “I was with the writer of the original ‘Halloween’ when I saw my husband of 37 years for the first time.”

“Debra Hill and I were on my couch in West Hollywood in 1984. I opened up an issue of Rolling Stone, saw Christopher Guest in a ‘Spinal Tap’ story and said, ‘I’m gonna marry that guy.’ (I did, six months later),” Curtis continued.

“As I write this, I keep connecting the dots,” Curtis added. “If I hadn’t been in ‘Halloween’, I wouldn’t have met John Landis, the director who put me in ‘Trading Places’ and showed the world I can be funny.”

Curtis believed the 1983 film led to her being casted in other comedies such as “True Lies” and “Freaky Friday,” starring opposite Lindsay Lohan.

“It’s now the end for Laurie and me. I’m weeping as I write this. I’m going to miss her. Movies are make-believe, but this is my real life. Mine has been made better by her,” Curtis concluded.

“What I can tell you is that I now know the reason why I’m so good in horror films. It is because I’m not acting. When I look scared in a movie it’s because I am scared. I am scared right now, as I hang up my bell-bottoms and say goodbye to ‘Halloween’. Life is scary. But Laurie taught me that life can also be beautiful, filled with love and art and life! Thank you all for MINE!”
