A piece of film history is up for sale in Austin, Texas, and will only cost you just under $1 million. Paying the steep price will make you the new owner of the original house used by “Dazed and Confused” character Mitch Kramer.
Officially listed at $950,000, the home is found within Austin’s Allandale neighborhood and is located at 6806 Pioneer Pl.
Built in 1964, the home has been recently renovated, although nostalgia still oozes throughout the home. In addition to having the front door repainted to mirror its look in the movie, the home now comes complete with vinyl plank flooring in a chevron pattern and a wooden structured patio.
The house is located on a .21-acre lot and contains four bedrooms, two bathrooms, two office spaces and a game room. It is already fitted with a heated and air-conditioned garage that can be converted into an additional room or back into a stereotypical garage.
Altogether, and not including the additional space from the garage, the home is 2,137 square feet according to the floor plan measure. The listing is being managed by Compass Real Estate agents Chris and Marjorie Tinnell.
‘Dazed and Confused’ remains a beloved cult classic
If you lived in the 1990s and wanted to travel back in time to the 1970s, there weren’t many more enjoyable vehicles than Richard Linklater’s 1993 film “Dazed and Confused.”
Linklater originally approached the semi-autobiographical tale of his high school years in Huntsville, intending to make an anti-nostalgia movie to pull back the curtain on the shared misery and lowercase “t” trauma that many of us experienced.
The movie, filmed in Austin in 1992, served as an early milestone in Linklater’s career, with him making the jump to the more fraught world of studio filmmaking after the breakout success of his micro-budget indie film “Slacker.”
“Dazed and Confused” also marked one of the first films in the careers of many of its young stars, including Matthew McConaughey, Ben Affleck and Parker Posey.
