Under contract but taking other offers . She lived there from 1972 to 1989 when she died.
A lot of her stuff was auctioned with the money going to UNC public TV
sorry it’s Aunt Bee
Can’t say I’d want to live in Siler City. Yes, I’ve been there; my parents grew up less than half an hour away.
Which is why a 5,000 sq. ft. home once owned by a minor celebrity is going for $425k 
. In my area you can’t even buy a 750 sq. ft. condo for $425k.
I wonder if she kept that bed jacket?
When he found himself in times of trouble
Whom did Opie run to see?
Baking cakes and cookies,
His Aunt Bea
And when Sheriff Andy Taylor argued
With Barney Fife, his deputy
Whom then could he turn to?
His Aunt Bea.
Poor Aunt Bea, poor Aunt Bea
Poor Aunt Bea, poor Aunt Bea
Her new address is Heaven
RFD
It’s not remote you can get to Greensboro in about 30 minutes and Raleigh in about an hour.
Picture yourself at the table in her kitchen
With heaps of fried chicken and warm apple pie
Aunt Bee will call you, you answer quite quickly
The gal with the apron walks by
Kerosene pickles of yellow and green
Lie there untouched on the shelf
Look for the gal with the bun in her hair
And she’s gone
Aunt Bee at the stove with dinner
Aunt Bee at the stove with dinner
Aunt Bee at the stove with dinner
Aaaaahhhh….
Here come old Aunt Bee
She got piping biscuits
She got lousy pickles
She got fresh pecan pie
She got nice friend chicken that is sure to please
Come to dinner
With Aunt Bee
Hope they finally got all the cat hair removed. My allergies would give me fits in that house.
Bavier played many enduring characters. Aunt Bea is the most loved.
I lol’ed a LOT
Yes, yours as well.
We should go on tour, the three of us.
mmm
You could call yourselves
The Bee-tles
I’m sorry, I really tried to stop myself.
The Darling family could open for us.
(sorry, fried chicken came out ‘friend’ chicken… it was early.)
I’d see that!
I was surprised to learn that the Darlings played Dueling Banjos on the Andy Griffith Show a good ten years before it was made famous by its appearance in Deliverance. I had thought it was written for the movie.
Why is her name so commonly spelled “Aunt Bee” instead of “Aunt Bea”?
Given that even IMDb calls her that, I suspect it’s how her name was spelled in the scripts. It’s also spelled that way in the closed captions.
Um.
(Post must be at least five characters, shall be the whole of the law, what say you DiscoBot?)
That sort of price isn’t unusual in rural areas though.
My apologies, guys, but I had another one in me.
Not Beatles, but Ringo:
"It Don’t Come Greasy"
It don’t come greasy
You know it don’t come greasy
Got to be assured if you’re gonna fry that bird
So you know it won’t come greasy
We don’t have to pout, you’ll cut that grease right out
You can even make it cheesy
Don’t forget the breasts, the thighs and drummies
That yardbird won’t last, it will soon be in our tummies
I don’t ask for much, I only want to trust,
That you will not make it greasy.
And my love of your fried hen, will surface once again
When I see it just ain’t greasy
Open up your stove, let’s fry together
Use a little love, there ain’t no chicken better
I don’t ask for much, only that you fussed
So I know it won’t come greasy
And I know what’s on my plate, will be finger lickin’ great
When I see it just ain’t greasy
Grease, remember grease, the bird it spoils
Here within our reach, we can minimize the oils
According to realtor.com the listing price is now down to $384,900.
