She added that the property has a very vintage feeling but is in pristine condition. She mentioned that there was wallpaper on every wall, and it felt like you were walking back in history thanks to all the woodwork. While the house is very similar to how it was during the making of Silence of the Lambs, there is one major difference. The real house does not have a giant pit in the basement and there is no butchering area that was featured in the film.
The pit and Buffalo Bill's workstation were both build on a soundstage. Instead, the real basement has a laundry room and storage space. The house is now selling for under $300,000 and has four bedrooms.
