Is This Famous ‘Pulp Fiction’ Filming Location Prepping for Destruction?

We know you’ll recognize something vaguely familiar when you click through the photos of this unassuming San Fernando Valley home. It looks like a thousand other homes in the Valley that were built in the 1930s. But still, there’s something about it…

Think John Travolta, Samuel L. Jackson, Harvey Keitel, and … Quentin Tarantino. Now the home’s pedigree pulls into focus.

It’s a location from the 1994 classic “Pulp Fiction.” Specifically, it’s the house of the character Jimmy (played by Tarantino), where Vincent (Travolta) and Jules (Jackson) go to deal with the remains of an accidental and ill-timed murder they’ve committed.

And now you can have this little patch of Hollywood history to call your own, because it’s just landed on the market for $1.4 million.

But it’s being promoted as an “amazing development opportunity,” which means it might have an imminent date with a fate worse than two fearsome criminals: the wrecking ball.

The listing states that it comes “with plans and permits fully approved and paid for. Shovel ready to begin construction on an approximately 4,200-square-foot residence (including garage and patio).”

So, sadly, it’s not the three-bedroom, two-bath, 1,702-square-foot home’s cinematic pedigree that accounts for the current asking price. Although it would be cool to stand in the very backyard where Vincent and Jules stripped naked in front of The Wolf (Keitel), so he could blast them with a garden hose to remove all incriminating traces of blood.

No, the property’s true value lies in the location. It’s situated in the chic little Studio City neighborhood called Colfax Meadows, which boasts charming streets, renovated homes, proximity to major studios, and last but not least, a location in the Carpenter Charter School District, one of the best in the state.

The entire neighborhood might look familiar to you, because its famous filming locations include the “Brady Bunch” house and the “Boy Meets World” house.

The only seriously criminal behavior in the neighborhood was purely fictional, as in “Pulp Fiction.” While hundreds of other movies, television shows, and commercials have been shot on the quiet, all-American private streets of Colfax Meadows, those who know will doubtless feel a loss with the inevitable demolition of that red wall-papered bathroom where Vincent and Jules attempted to wash the blood from their hands without staining Jimmy’s towels.
