Ray Bradbury’s former house has sold, but it sounds like the buyer is not a fan. The house, which fetched $1.76 million, is currently being torn down.
Bradbury lived in the charming three bedroom, single family home at 10265 Cheviot Drive in Los Angeles for more than 50 years.
John King Tarpinian visited the house and documented the teardown. “As I was taking pictures locals were walking their dogs. They’d stop to observe and we’d converse. One lady had no idea who had owned the house; she was new to the neighborhood,” he writes on the sci-fi site File 770.com. “She walked away in tears. Another long time neighbor knew it was Ray’s home and we mutually agreed things like this are just wrong but money wins out. Another young couple had no idea who Ray was…the saddest encounter of all.”
