J. K. Rowling selling former Edinburgh home

Harry Potter fans with an extra £2.25 million, or about $3.7 million, can get the ultimate piece of memorabilia -- the house where author J. K. Rowling wrote several of the books.

The author lived with her husband, Dr Neil Murray, and their three children in the eight-bedroom home in Edinburgh until 2009 when she moved to Barnton, reports The BBC. Estate agents Rettie is handling the sale and describes the home as being located in “one of Edinburgh's most exclusive conservation areas.”

Rettie adds that it has a “discreet landscaped and walled garden” and was recently redesigned to “complement retained Victorian period feature.”

It also has a summer home, outhouses and a double garage.

The AP notes that Rowling worked on several of the seven Harry Potter novels at the home. The books have gone on to sell 450 million copies worldwide and she now owns other properties in Scotland and London.

According to the BBC, Rowling and her husband applied for permission to build connecting treehouses at their Barnton property for their younger children. The couple have an 18-year-old daughter and a son and younger daughter, aged 9 and 7.

Rowling’s first adult novel, The Casual Vacancy, hits bookstores next week.
