Yesterday wasn’t all bad … for the most part, it was one of the funnest days I’ve enjoyed living here in LA :) As you may have noticed, I’ve been on a bit of a Charmed kick lately. Now that I’m re-watching the entire series all over again and have been fawning over my new possession of a full-size replica Charmed spirit board, I’ve been itching to visit the real life mansion that was used in all 8 seasons as the Halliwell Manor on the show. Much like a real life home was used as Buffy Summers‘s home on Buffy the Vampire Slayer (which my friends and I visited back in July of ’08), there is a real life mansion that was used as Halliwell Manor in Charmed. The Charmed House is in the Angelino Heights neighborhood of Echo Park:
I’ve been meaning to get out to see the house for a couple of weeks now but there were many delays. Yesterday was finally the day!! After the jump check out some of the fun photos I took of Halliwell Manor yesterday afternoon …
This real life mansion looks so cool in person … tho, it looks a bit smaller in person then it does on TV. Those of you who watched the show remember that hot neighbor Dan lived next door and his house was there as well. To be honest, “Dan‘s house” looks much nicer than the Halliwell house does. AND GET THIS … the house on the other side of the Halliwell Manor is FOR SALE! That house looks really run down but, man, can you imagine living next to the Charmed house? The whole block where these houses are located are protected Victorian homes so they cannot be torn down … which is great news!! Hahaha … I felt like such a nerd yesterday but it was totally worth doing.
So yeah, if you’re ever in the area and you’d like to see the Charmed house you can just Google “Charmed House Address” and find your way. Wee!!
Call me old-fashioned, but the scariest house used in a movie remains for me is from “Psycho” – Oh my God!

Whenever I watch Anthony Perkins looking up at the house where the silhouette of his mother is “seen” through the curtained window… I squirm in my seat. And the way the way Norman Bates yells, “Mother! Oh, God, mother! Blood! Blood!” sends shivers down my back. I make a point to watch it a couple times a year.

I love Hitchcock movies… especially a gem called, “The Trouble With Harry” a great black comedy that I enjoy very much.
@rossy — We got to see the Psycho house on the backlot at Universal Studios for Hallowe’en … that shit was SCARY as hell!!
Where is this located and is the buffy house occupied too? where’s the buffy house also located? thanks!
@Leigh — You can do a Google search for both homes and find the addresses. They are both in the metro LA area. Yes, the Buffy house is occupied as well.

Just came here in America 6 months ago. One of my many goals (aside from getting married to the love of my life) is to tour San Francisco and visit the Halliwell Manor in LA. (Heavily Charmed inspired). We spent Christmas in LA last 2011 as my sister in law lives there, however we were so far from the Manor as she resides near Manhattan Beach.
I’m a Charmed fanatic as well. I can not, and will never get tired of watching Seasons 1 up to 3 only. (Sorry Paige fans, I really don’t buy the whole whitelighter daughter thing). I guess Charmed was at its best when Prue was in it and ratings show. Just compare season 1 to 3 from 4 – 8 and all ratings after season 3 went downhill. Charmed reached Season 8 because let’s face it, it was just for continuity and commercialization. Not that the original 3 seasons weren’t. I’m just saying that there was more soul, relevance and connectivity to the first three series. Plus the never ending Phoebe hair changes after Season 3 made it all the more nauseous. (Sorry for the ramblings).
