"Enormous, lush backyard gardens & lawn, completely private & serene. Located on a quiet residential block, property also borders the Los Angeles River, which is a unique street-to-river orientation," the listing stated.
E! News revealed that the home only went through a renovation once when a larger garage and a downstairs family room was built in 1975.
The property is situated in an area that is being renovated and redeveloped in the recent years. However, Douglas Elliman agent Ernie Carswell told Los Angeles Times that the owners of the property will give consideration to bidders who are planning to keep the iconic home intact.
"We're not going to accept the first big offer from a developer who wants to tear it down," he said in the interview. "We're going to wait a few days, in case there are others who want to purchase it as an investment to preserve it," he added.
The report also mentioned that Violet and George McCallister purchased the two-bedroom, three-bathroom property in 1973 for $61,000.
Violet reportedly has no issues when the public came to take a photo in front of the house. However, the family decided to build a low brick wall around the property when the fans of the hit TV sitcom started to approach the front door.
Since the McCallisters' children decided to sell the home since their parents already passed away.
