'The Big Lebowski' House Listed For $2.3 Million: The Dude No Longer Resides

Bowling balls, ransom letters, soiled rugs, and a hilarious Jeff Bridges come to mind when recalling "The Big Lebowski," Joel and Ethan Coen's 1998 comedy. Now El Duderino-loving fans (with a bank account as large as The Big Lebowski's) have a chance to pick up a piece of movie history. The Dude's beloved Venice abode has been listed for $2.295 million.

The compound includes six one-bedroom bungalows that sit on over ten thousand square feet of land. It is within walking distance of Abbot Kinney and Main street, a hotbed of art galleries, funky shops, and some of LA's hottest restaurants. In 2005, the property underwent major renovations, including a new sewer line and roofing, according to the official listing. Fortunately (and unfortunately), the units no longer look the same as in the film clip above.

Now's not a good time to buy a house, even if the Dude lived there.

Does it contain the rug? It really ties the room together.

So the local minor league baseball team is having a "Big Lebowski Day" and I am torn whether to come as The Dude, or The Jesus.

Twenty years ago, the Dude probably could have afforded to live in that bungalow.

Now it's been gentrified and will cost an arm and a leg to rent out after some rich landlord purchases it.

That's the story of real estate here in L.A.

My only hope is that the bungalows will at least come with a rug that really ties the room together.

My husband and his brother love the Big Lebowski.

Once we were in Maui and took a submarine ride. My husband really had to go to the bathroom and of course there was no way. I had a airsick bag in my bag and somehow, without compromising his modesty, he was able to relieve a bit of the pressure.

After that, the joke became, "Dude, you pissed on their f---in sub!"

I saw this movie as a double feature with ear and Loathing.
With a very dear friend, we had a blast.

Love you, Kevin :-)

I'd buy it, but I need a rug, you know, something to tie the whole room together.

"SHUT UP! Donny."

I just sold my building right across the street from there, it can be seen in the movie too during the scenes right out front of this place. Should have put that in my sales flier, could have milked a few extra bucks out of a buyer.... but i still got $418 sq/ft this listing is at approx $223 sq/ft based on lot size, I got out late but it looks like it was right on time.

All the Dude ever wanted was his rug back.

Lebowski's house is not 2.295 million, the whole complex of six bungalows is.
