Edward Scissorhands house

This is the Boggs family house from the fantasy gothic film Edward Scissorhands (1990).

It is situated at 1774 Tinsmith Circle in Lutz, Florida.

In the movie, the Boggs family lives in a tacky, pastel-colored suburban neighborhood with manicured green lawns and small-minded neighbors who have a very low tolerance for individuality.

These days, the garish colors of Tinsmith Circle are long gone, and the streets are now lined with trees.

Fortunately, it is no longer the soulless landscape that we saw in the film.

The production team had initially visited a series of small towns in Texas while scouting for locations.

However, the director, Tim Burton, felt that Florida would be the perfect backdrop for his suburban hell. According to art director Tom Duffield, Burton also "liked the clouds."

The story revolves around an immortal humanoid creature called Edward (Johnny Depp), who lives with his inventor in an old gothic mansion. Edward is left with scissor blades for hands after his inventor dies from a heart attack before he can fit him with a human-like pair.

He is eventually adopted by a well-meaning door-to-door saleswoman named Peg Boggs, who finds him hiding out alone in the attic of the mansion. From that point on, he lives with the Boggs family in their suburban neighborhood.

Although their nosy neighbors initially accept him due to his hedge-sculpting and hair-cutting skills, things take a turn for the worse when they begin to fear what makes him different.

This is a "then and now" image of the "Edward Scissorhands house".

The Google Street View image at the bottom was captured in December of 2018.

1774 Tinsmith Circle was built in 1989, which was one year before the movie was released. Filming took place between March 26th and July 19th, 1990.

The corner lot house has three bedrooms and is roughly 1,430 square feet in size. It was last sold for $230,000 in November of 2020.

In 2022, it was listed for sale at $699,900 (a whopping 200%+ price increase). However, the price eventually fell to $449,000 before the listing was removed.

Realtor photographs from 2022 show that the interior is filled with Edward Scissorhands memorabilia. The new owners have also painted the outside a light shade of blue.

Peg Boggs brings Edward home

Nosy neighbors

Nosey neighbors gather outside the Boggs household and gossip about the strange new arrival.

Suburban hell

Suburban hell

To create a suburban hell, the production team painted the exterior of the houses with faded pastel colors. Only four separate colors were used in the process, as this gave the neighborhood a sense of conformity.

They also reduced the size of some of the windows.

Backyard

Backyard

The neighbors are so keen to meet the new guest that they coax Peg Boggs into holding a barbecue.

By that stage, Edward had already sculpted one of the hedges in the backyard into a dinosaur.
