New York: The house where Alfred Hitchcock and Evan Hunter wrote the 1963 classic horror `The Birds` has hit the market in Pound Ridge, Westchester County, for 1.4 million dollars.
John Hart who is the owner of this historic house and a thriller writer himself, only recently learned that ` The Birds` which turns 50 this year, was written in the barn he has worked in since buying the property in 1994, the New York Daily News reported.
Hart reveled that they call the house `Dracula bought`. According to a broker, Sally Slater, one can feel the creative energy inside the house. He said that the master bedroom is the most romantic room he has ever seen. Talking about the design he said that all the doors have wrought-iron handles such that one would want to touch everything. The Arts and Crafts-style home has wood-beamed vaulted ceilings, a pool, several fireplaces, round breakfast nooks and wood and iron detailing. The home`s history goes back even further. Hiram Halle, an American industrialist who owned Gulf Oil, rehabbed the house on Salem Road as part of a program where he employed Jewish refugees escaping the Holocaust. The two-bedroom barn on the property was moved piece by piece from Napa Valley, California, during the depression. It house d a portion of Halle`s world-renowned antique collection.
