PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Good news for fans of “The Goonies:”
the old Victorian home featured in the film is on sale in Astoria,
Oregon, and potential buyers are considering making it more
accessible to the public.
“We have a few interested parties right now,” said realtor Jordan
Miller, the listing agent for the property. He said.. “It seems to be everybody’s intention to be able to open up the house a little bit
more and have more access.”
The 1896 home with sweeping views of the Columbia River flowing
into the Pacific Ocean has been listed with an asking price of $1.7
million on Zillow, where it’s described as “fully loaded with history, nostalgia and iconic level of fame.”
Since the movie hit theaters in 1985, fans have flocked to the home
in northwestern Oregon’s historic port of Astoria.
The city celebrates Goonies Day on June 7, the film’s release date,
and welcomes thousands of people for the event.

has officially been put up for sale in Cleveland, Ohio.

Chad Whitmer, the listing agent from the Northeast Ohio-based commercial real estate company Hoff and Leigh, said the listing

Elwyn Brooks "E. B." White (July 11, 1899 – October 1, 1985)
(TMZ) – The farm that inspired E.B. White’s classic children’s novel, "Charlotte’s
Web," has hit the market, and looks to be a great deal.
The 44-acre saltwater farm in Brooklin, Maine — where White lived when he
wrote ‘Charlotte’ — has been listed at $3.7 million.
The property includes a farmhouse, a guest house and a barn — the inspiration
for Wilbur and Charlotte’s hangout. White bought the estate in 1933, and lived
there until he died in 1985.
The listing agent, Martha Dischinger of Down East Properties, said the current
owners are only selling because they’re in their 80s. FYI, there’s no livestock
on the grounds.
