This house was best known as ‘1313 Mockingbird Lane’ the home of TV’s The Munsters.

When the Desperate Housewives moved in, the house was remodelled to make it look less spooky. On that show it’s been the home of the Mullin family (?-2005), Betty Applewhite (2005–2006), Alma Hodge (2007) and the Hunter/McDermott family (2007–present).

Originally built for the 1946 movie “So Goes My Love” (aka “A Genius in the Family”) the house was originally the residence of Hiram and Percy Maxim, so it was known as the “Maxim House” for years until the Munsters came along in 1964 (the show was in production until 1966).

The address used by The Munsters was 1313 Mockingbird Lane.
