So, look. The housing market here in Australia is kind of a bust at the moment; largely out of reach of most young people hoping to make the shift from renters to owners.
Maybe it’s time, then, first-home buyers started looking outside the box a little bit and went abroad for that ever-elusive first house.
And if you’ve got ridiculous amounts of cash just lying around the house doing nothing, you could make a foray into the property market by picking yourself up a piece of Hollywood history.
The iconic Victorian mansion that served as the set for the hugely beloved 1993 Robin Williams hit is on the market, with an asking price of an eye-watering US$4.45million.
Located in the swank Pacific Heights neighbourhood of San Francisco, the house has (obviously) seen some minor alterations since the film was shot there over twenty years ago, but the interior remains virtually identical to what was featured in the film.
In fact, the largest change the house has seen is that the exterior has been painted a *slightly* different colour.
The house was last purchased in 1997 for US$1.395million by an owner who was said to be extremely welcoming of fans stopping by to get a look at the house for themselves.
Following Robin Williams tragic death in 2014, the house served as a makeshift memorial, with scores of fans leaving flowers on the house’s instantly recognisable steps.
If, per chance, you happen to have stumbled on to a secret pile of cash you totally forgot you had, you can cop a look at the house’s listing over on them internets.
No word on whether or not the house also comes with a frosty cake for which to stick your face into when in a tight spot.
