LA’s Los Feliz Murder Mansion now on the market for $3.649 million
True crime fans have the chance to purchase one of Los Angeles’ most infamous properties: the Los Feliz Murder Mansion has officially hit the market.
For those unfamiliar with the macabre estate, the 1920s Spanish Revival – with 5 bedrooms, 7 bathrooms and over 9,000 square feet of living space – is located in the heart of the Hollywood-adjacent Los Feliz neighborhood… and has attracted a number of murder-obsessed spectators over the years.
The grand mansion – now on the market for $3.649 million – has quite a history thanks to the number of notable deaths linked to the home. First built in 1925 for Harold And Florence Schumacher …the couple died within weeks of each other, three years after purchasing the house.
When the property changed hands, the tragedy continued…new owner Welford Beaton looked at his 21 year old son Donaldwho lived with him dies of an infection. Welford itself suffered an unpleasant fate and went bankrupt a year after Donald’s death.
Yet it is the 1959 murder that took place in the mansion that became the most infamous.
Dr. Harold Perelson – who was experiencing extreme financial problems at the time – beat his wife, Lilliandeath with a hammer … and also attacked his eldest child, 18 years old Judywho escaped the attack.
Dr. Perelson committed suicide after the fatal outburst.
After this newsworthy bout of violence, the house was branded the Los Feliz Murder Mansion… a name the parsonage couldn’t shake.
The building has changed hands several times over the past six decades: lawyer Lisa Bloom in fact, owned the deed for almost four years before selling in 2020, but the house has remained vacant.

‘Ghost Adventures’ star Zak Bagans specifically visited the property in 2022… where the ‘GA’ crew apparently captured a ‘ghost chair’ during an investigation.

The mansion was also featured on an episode of ‘Buying Beverly Hills’, where The Agency learned about previous renovation plans for the estate… carried out by a well-known architect Richard Landry (aka the man who created the Sharon Tate house).
In fact, whoever coughs up $3 million for the house will get the Landry plans… a dream project for the right developers. I hope they aren’t afraid of ghosts!!!
