Laura Palmer's Home in 'Twin Peaks' Sells for $500,000

A home in Everett, Wash., which served as the residence of "Laura Palmer" - the main character around whom the 1990 thriller series "Twin Peaks" was based on - just sold for $500,000.

Curbed first spotted the change in the status of the listing that first hit the market earlier in June, this year for $549,950. When news of the listing surfaced, Stephen Lange - a Seattle resident - and a group of "Twin Peaks" fans started a Kickstarter campaign to turn the house into a bed & breakfast and a museum dedicated to the series.

Public records show that the home received an offer by July and finally closed transaction Sept. 16.

The residence on Rucker Hill was used to portray the "Palmer Residence" where Laura, Leland and Sarah Palmer lived.

Both interiors and exteriors of the house were used in the pilot episode of the David Lynch-directed series. The residence was also used in the movie - Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me - that followed the serial's two-season run.

Listing records of the home doesn't recognize it as a celebrity residence, but introduces the house as a "charming 30's home in the heart of Rucker Hill".

Spanning an area of 4,104 square feet, the single-family house has four bedrooms and one and half bathrooms.

Interiors of the residence feature hardwood flooring, drywall ceilings and French doors and windows.

Living spaces include a formal living room, dining area, an updated kitchen with a mid rise island and custom cabinetry, and a study. There is a fireplace in the master suite which also has walk-in closets. A basement can serve as a den or game room.

Outside, the home has a spacious backyard and a detached two-car garage.

In the pilot episode, Laura is murdered and her death sets the storyline for the series. The show garnered great fame both nationally and internationally and its pilot went on to rank in the top 25 of TV Guide's "100 Greatest Episode of All Time".

Several on-screen homes have hit the market of late, including the fixer-upper shown in "Money Pit", the mansion seen in the "Dallas" reboot and a "Scarface" mansion.
