Dazed and Confused home up for sale in Austin — and it's less than $1 million

Fans of Dazed and Confused have an opportunity to buy one of the houses featured in the movie.
Located in the Allendale neighborhood of Austin, Texas the four-bedroom and two-bathroom house has recently hit the housing market for a price of $950,000. The home was originally purchased in 1965 for around $30,000.
The 1993 film Dazed and Confused follows the story of various high schoolers in Texas celebrating their last day of school. The home available for sale belonged to the character Mitch Kramer, a rising freshman who joins the cool group of seniors after they haze him. Kramer was played by Wiley Wiggins in the movie.
'My parents' home has been a special part of Dazed and Confused history. Richard Linklater went to the city of Austin specifically looking for a house with a straight hallway from the front door to the back to make filming easier, and this home was the perfect fit,' Marjorie Tinnell, one of the listing's reps said in an interview with The New York Post.
'Our family pictures were even left up during production — so in a way, I can say I was 'in the movie' too! It's a fun piece of Austin's film legacy, and I love that fans still appreciate it today.'
In addition to the home's bedrooms and bathrooms, the front shutters and front door were painted to match one of the movie's scenes where Kramer's character leaves home to jump in the back of David Wooderson's — played by Matthew McConaughey — car.
The Austin house also features two office spaces, a dedicated game room, and modern upgrades recently made to the kitchen.
Another one of the listing reps Chris Tinnell specifically highlighted the neighborhood, telling the local Austin Fox station, 'Being in Allendale and being between what I call the two D's, that's downtown and the Domain, it's in a fantastic location.'
Tinnell also included a line from the movie in the listing video for the house. 'You gotta keep livin', man — L-I-V-I-N '— and this is the perfect place to do it!' the video's description read, referencing McConaughey's classic phrase.
The Dazed and Confused house isn't the only well-known home that was recently on the housing market. Back in May 2024, the Home Alone house was put up for sale at over $5 million.
The iconic house featured in the 1990 Christmas movie was listed as 'sale pending' in December with the Coldwell Banker Realty website, where the house was listed, now reading 'sold.'
The mansion's exterior was used as the McCallister family home in both Home Alone and the 1992 sequel Home Alone 2: Lost in New York.
Macaulay Culkin, who played Kevin McCallister in the movies, admitted he had thought about buying the house when it hit the market.
He told Entertainment Weekly: 'I had half a mind to buy it — just for giggles.'
The home, which is 9,000 square feet (836 square meters), was built in 1921 and has four fireplaces, two laundry rooms, two hot tubs, a wet bar, recreation space, a gym, a private cinema room, and an indoor sports court.

Antiques Road Trip star opens up on daughter's heartbreaking health battle and family 'struggle'

BBC Antiques Road Trip star Phillip Serrell said daughter Clementine's battle has been 'difficult' and 'hard to understand' Antiques Road Trip star Philip Serrell has opened up about his daughter's heartbreaking battle with anorexia. The BBC expert has been open and honest in the past about Clementine's health struggles, despite finding it hard to understand at first. Now that she's in recovery, Clementine wants to raise awareness and support others who are facing the same challenges she's experienced. ‌ Phillip shared his own struggles to comprehend what she was going through. He said: 'A s a dad, it's been very difficult, I've found it very hard to understand. ‌ "I've spent 62 years enjoying eating and it's very hard not to say 'Just eat, it's easy'." He also reflected on the progress his daughter made, admitting she's 'come through this on her own'. But Phillip candidly admitted his family are not out of the woods yet, and there are still tough situations to navigate. He added: 'Christmas a very difficult time of year because people suffering with anorexia get booze and food shoved at them - and that's very hard to deal with." Phillip's daughter first stepped into the public spotlight with her journey back in 2020 when she took to social media to post a comparison image of herself. In one of the pictures, she was at the height of the devastating illness, and in the second recent snap, she looked happier and healthier and working towards healing, as reports Devon Live. ‌ Brave Clementine aimed to empower others with her words, and said: "Never think you can't escape." She then went on to detail her battles with anorexia and bulimia, explaining she thinks the catalyst was the end of a significant relationship. She believes the internal turmoil led to feeling disassociated from her life. She disclosed that in 2011, she made herself vomit 'about eight times' on New Year's Eve, waking up on New Year's Day "full of shame and utter self loathing". The next year, she started suffering from anorexia. ‌ Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community! Get the latest news sent straight to your messages by joining our WhatsApp community today.

She went on: "That was the worst year, and Christmas, ever. It was just pure hell, with no escape. I was TOTALLY consumed by the eating disorder, addicted to it, addicted to counting calories and 'burning off' what I could. I weighed EVERYTHING. I counted the calories in EVERYTHING. I hated what I'd become but I was petrified of giving up that addiction." She said her journey to recovery has felt painfully slow at times as she added: "After a long, and at times sooooo painfully slow, recovery I'm here, where I am now... I will always talk about eating disorders, and I'll always be honest. I don't post things like this for any praise or anything like that but to show others that you can get your life back." ‌ She said she is now committed to raising awareness about eating disorders. She went on: "I will always talk about eating disorders, and I'll always be honest. I don't post things like this for any praise or anything like that but to show others that you can get your life back. And also because I genuinely believe EDs are still very misunderstood and that kills me a bit. 'This is a hard time to go through, especially if you have an eating disorder but know that there can be life on the other side. And know that you really are strong enough to get there."
