A
piece of Hollywood history has surfaced in the coastal town of Pawcatuck, Connecticut, where a charming cedar shake shingle house that once served as the on-screen home of Julia Roberts' breakout role in "Mystic Pizza" is now up for grabs at $749,900. The property, which boasts three bedrooms and two bathrooms, has already attracted a pending offer despite being open to backup buyers.

    Built in 1905, this picturesque waterfront dwelling has been lovingly remodeled since its appearance in the 1988 romantic indie film, yet still exudes the rustic charm of New England's past. The property spans 1,679 square feet and features a private dock on the Pawcatuck River, providing easy access to several nearby beaches.

    Located just a 15-minute drive from the real-life village of Mystic and its iconic pizza shop, this home offers a unique blend of history, natural beauty, and small-town charm. As Compass Agent Ted O'Brien notes, it's a "lovely property" that's just minutes away from the beachfront community of Westerly, Rhode Island.

    The film, directed by Donald Petrie, marked a pivotal moment in Julia Roberts' career, cementing her status as a rising star alongside Vincent D'Onofrio and Annabeth Gish. Now, this piece of cinematic history is poised to find a new owner, one who will appreciate its rich heritage and stunning riverfront views.
