The selling price of the iconic home from A Nightmare On Elm Street has been slashed Freddy Kruger-style.
Built in 1999, the charming Los Angeles home was sold for $2,980,000 (£2,174,357) according to a Tuesday report from TMZ.
The three bedroom home is extremely different to what was featured in the hit 1984 slasher film, seen in pictures which advertised the upgraded property which was originally on the market for
Once boarded up windows and desecrated garden seen in the film are long gone leaving what looks like it could be anybody's dream home.
In the living room, French doors allow for plenty of natural light and access to the garden.
A spacious bedroom in the property features walnut floors and ceiling lights.
Photos also show several of the four bathrooms, with one standing out with all-white interior.
A massive bath sits at the edge of the room alongside his and her sinks situated under a wide mirror.
The garden is equally as beautiful with well-kept grass surrounding a pool.
A lavish guesthouse sits out the back of the property.

Angie Hill purchased the house in 2008 for $1.15 million and spent a year renovating the property.

"The pool looked like it hadn't been touched in 10 years – it was black."
The previous homeowner added that it had "the weirdest vibe" and that you could "feel the weird energy."
On top of that she claims there "was a really oppressive odour".
So she took it upon herself to burn sage to attempt to rid the property of bad energy, and then completely dismantled the house.
Around ninety percent of the entire home was replaced, from the walls, ceilings and even the roof.
Although she never found Freddie Krueger in the property, Hill claims she still got scared sometimes.
"I used to be afraid to go in the basement," she said.
