A Glimpse Into Film History

It became an instant classic, launching the careers of numerous stars, including the now-Oscar-winning Matthew McConaughey. The film captures the relaxed summer vibes of high school life in the ‘70s, and spotlights the character Mitch Kramer, played by Wiley Wiggins. As we watch Mitch navigate the challenges of hazing and fitting in, we are taken on a hilarious ride through one unforgettable night as he completes his final junior high semester.

And if you’re feeling a little playful, check out the converted garage that has been transformed into a fun game room.
While the inside of the house showcases beautiful upgrades that depart from the film’s 1970s aesthetic, it still pays homage to that memorable cinematic moment. The front doors and shutters have been painted a lovely light blue just like in the film. How cool is that?
