112 Ocean Avenue, Colonial house in Amityville, United States.
Description
The house on Ocean Avenue is a colonial-style building with five bedrooms, three bathrooms, and a swimming pool. The property also includes a boathouse along the Amityville River canal.
History
Ronald DeFeo Jr killed six family members in the house on November 13, 1974, and received multiple life sentences. The Lutz family moved in about a year later and left after 28 days.
Culture
The address was changed from 112 to 108 to discourage curious visitors drawn by books and films about the location. Later owners modified the building's appearance with new windows and a different facade design.
Practical
The house is a private residence and cannot be visited. The neighborhood is residential and locals ask that their privacy be respected.
Did you know?
The Lutz family reported unexplained noises and temperature changes during their brief stay. Many researchers and skeptics have since questioned the family's claims about supernatural events.
