If I were asked to imagine Stephen King’s house, it was this
Fun fact, male bats can be fiercely territorial. A colonial era inn in northern Kentucky had such a severe infestation that it could only be resolved by hiring multiple professional falconers to systematically hunt them.
Scariest thing in this picture is his beard.
I’ve stopped by here numerous times to take pics when I visited family in Bangor
If that‘s stephen kings house, i wanna know what tim burtons house looks like.
POV – The only cocaine dealer in Maine.
He used to have a haunted house there every Halloween
Edit: deleted the van anecdote
Damn, that sucks that he’ll have to share the upstairs rooms with Vecna
The cocaine castle.
Grew up right around the corner from there on East street.
Judging by the expression on Stephen’s face, I’d say he is approximately 73% cocaine in the picture.
“Now if you’ll excuse me, I’ve got an eight-ball and my type-writer to attend to”
(closes gate)
*13 Dead End Drive*
This is the house I picture in my head when I read Salem’s Lot
because of course hed have a victorian-style house , guarded by a bat gate.
Beautiful house and property
It’s a nice house been by there stopped and taken pics and in our last visit while he was prepping to move we got some books from the neighborhood little library. One of my few highlights of living in Maine off/on for 8yrs. It’s a very accessible location. If I remember correctly they’re turning/turned it into a tourist spot. Please correct me if I’m wrong.
I got lost in Bangor once and wound up there. Pretty cool!
Didn’t he film a commercial there once? I vaguely remember an ad in the 80s where he walked through a dimly lit haunted house.
That look on his face screams the excitement of knowing he’s gonna be doing a lotta drugz in that house.
I KNOW THERE ARE SOME GREAT F*CKIN’ TRAINS HERE IN BANGOR!!!

A street view shot of his home on google maps
Knowing how much coke this guy did by himself gives me anxiety.
Looks like the house on knives out. Which makes sense.
I mean, it’s a beautiful house.
What? Like we were expecting a mid century modern with xeriscaping??
That’s a dream come true right there.
Does he still own it? I live kind of near a house he owns in Longboat Key Florida.
I paid my visits around do Halloween time. The town it’s located in is spooky. Bangor, Maine.

Here is the house as shown on Google Earth.
That’s almost exactly how I pictured the house that >! the ka-tet gets Jake out of in the dark tower series. !<
“Look Mommy, I drew a man with a beard” lookin ass
He’s such a character. Would love to sit down have a beer and pick his brain for a bit.
The bats are pointing in … the bats are protecting the world from the house … or Stephen King!
What’re the differences between Victorian and Queen Anne style homes?
You just know he has a bookcase that swings out into a hidden passageway up in there.
So many comments on the man’s appearance but, he did have kids so someone found him attractive.
I live about 20 minutes from that house. Come visit Bangor!
