Tim Burton's 1990 goth classic "Edward Scissorhands" was filmed all around Tampa Bay, and now the famous house from the movie is once again for sale.
Located at 1774 Tinsmith Cir. in Lutz, the 1,432-square-foot fictional Boggs' house— where Edward (played by Johnny Depp) trimmed the hedges to look like dinosaurs and stabbed the waterbed—features three bedrooms and two bathrooms. Most importantly, it "comes with ALL the priceless collection of memorabilia from the movie," says the listing.
The home was recently turned into a free museum by the current owner, Joey Licalzi, who purchased the property at auction in September of 2020. "It's crazy," said Licalzi to Creative Loafing Tampa Bay. "We bought a running theme park with a worldwide following for $230,000."
Licalzi told CL that it was essentially fate that he won the bid, since he worked on the set of the film as a dishwasher. After Licalzi moved in he rehabbed and transformed the house into a live-in homage the Tim Burton masterpiece.
"Scissorland" now features daily tours, film screenings, and original props from the film, like Kim Bogg's purse, the original kitchen wallpaper, and the scissors Edward used to trim the dinosaur hedge.
"It's honestly killing him to sell the house," says listing agent Megan Hartnell to CL. "They have twin grandbabies on the way, and they need a bigger place. He would love for it to stay as a museum, but at the same time, he understands that it might not happen."
Hartnell says the home comes with all the props and memorabilia because Licalzi "just felt it should stay with the property."
The current asking price is $699,900, and the listing agents are Megan Hartnell and Stanley Lewis III of Century 21 Affiliated.
