This isn’t an illusion, you can actually rent Harry Houdini’s mansion!
It’s disputable if he really lived here, but it is said that he and his wife spent a lot of time here, plus she lived in the guest house after his passing.
The original home burnt down in 1959, but it was recently restored!
It’s very much available to rent on Airbnb, whether you decide to stay there with some friends for a night of magic or if you’re even having a wedding, this five-acre property has all the amenities you might need!
The property is located in the Hollywood Hills, approximately 9 minutes away from Beverly Hills and 12 minutes away from Universal Studios, so you may enjoy the amazing restaurants and nightlife around them.
If you’re not that into going out, you can always enjoy the serenity of the Houdini Estate. Walk through the romantic gardens, explore hidden passageways, and go hiking!
The house on it’s own is quite the wonder as well, with two stories being equipped with four bedrooms, four and a half bathrooms, terraces, a barbecue, a jacuzzi, and a heated pool!
If you’re feeling particularly adventurous, you can explore the hidden passageways and tunnels leading who-knows-where and you can even get an up-close look at the water tank that Harry used to practice in!
And if you’re feeling lonely, there are plenty of statues to keep you company!
The estate is perfect for weddings and other events, with its spacious romantic gardens, rock waterfalls, and romantic gazebos.
Talk about having a magical wedding!
