For just $2 million, you could own a very dark piece of Los Angeles history
, Manson and the Family began socializing at True’s house in August 1968 and continued to come by even after he moved out. According to this account, the night after the Tate murders, Manson and his followers drove around, circling the city looking for their next target, before eventually winding up at True’s house. They went inside, but the house was vacant, so they went next door to the LaBiancas’ residence, putting the house on Waverly Drive on the map.
Though it has changed hands several times over the past 50 years, the LaBiancas’ home has remained on the same hilltop undergoing only cosmetic changes since 1969 — unlike the Tate house, which was demolished in 1994 by property’s owner, Alvin Weintraub. He also changed the street address to discourage curious visitors.
But you can’t just schedule a tour of the home with a few clicks on a website. In order to view it, a potential buyer needs to send Giambalvo their pre-approval paperwork and proof of funds. Since hitting the market about a week ago, he says there have been just under 20 showings and he’s rejected nearly 50 other people who have gotten asked to see the house.
This pre-approval screening strategy appears to have worked: Giambalvo says that not one of the people who have actually viewed the house — all of whom were born after 1969 — have asked any questions about the murders or LaBiancas. “I really think that — and I’m not trying to overplay this — the place is truly magical,” he says. “I think you just forget about it because you just feel so good when you’re there.
For the right buyer, it won’t matter that the house was the location of some of the most notorious murders in American history. “This is one of those quintessential L.A. homes,” he says. “If you don’t buy this house, you can’t just say, ‘Oh, I’ll just wait until the next dual-panoramic view comes up on a ridge next to Katy Perry’s mansion.’”
