Iconic Stilt House from ‘Heat’ Sells for $1,075,000
In a real estate deal hotter than a Michael Mann shootout, the iconic Stilt House from the film "Heat" has been sold for a cool $1,075,000. This architectural marvel, perched precariously on stilts, served as the backdrop for intense scenes featuring Al Pacino and Robert De Niro. The new owner, clearly a fan of cinematic history and daring engineering, now has the perfect spot for reenacting movie moments or perhaps hosting themed dinner parties—"Dinner and a Movie: Live Action Edition," anyone?
The Stilt House, known for its breathtaking views and equally breathtaking structural integrity, is a Hollywood legend in its own right. One can only hope the new owners have a head for heights and a love for the dramatic. Given the price tag, it’s safe to say they’ll also need a sense of humor and a strong insurance policy. After all, living in a house that’s one strong wind away from becoming a water-front property is not for the faint of heart.
