 Ore. — Good news for fans of “The Goonies:” the old Victorian home
 featured in the film is on sale in Astoria, Oregon, and potential 
buyers are considering making it more accessible to the public.“We
 have a few interested parties right now,” said realtor Jordan Miller, 
the listing agent for the property. “It seems to be everybody's 
intention to be able to open up the house a little bit more and have 
more access.”The 1896 home with sweeping views of the Columbia 
River flowing into the Pacific Ocean has been listed with an asking 
price of $1.7 million on Zillow, where it's described as “fully loaded 
with history, nostalgia and iconic level of fame.”Since the movie
 hit theaters in 1985, fans have flocked to the home in northwestern 
Oregon's historic port of Astoria. The city celebrates Goonies Day on 
June 7, the film's release date, and welcomes thousands of people for 
the event.Owner Sandi Preston was known to have been largely 
welcoming to visitors. But she lived in the house full time, and the 
constant crowds were a strain that prompted her at times to close it to 
foot traffic.After the film's 30th anniversary drew about 1,500 
daily visitors in 2015, Preston posted “no trespassing” signs 
prohibiting tourists from walking up to the property. She reopened it to
 the public this past August.City officials, who restricted 
parking in the area, have long sought to mediate the tensions between 
residents and the fans hoping to see and photograph the location.“While
 the owner of this location from The Goonies is a fan of the movie and 
enjoys chatting with visitors making the trek to Astoria to see the film
 locations, as you can imagine, it gets hard having hundreds of people 
crowding into your personal space every single day,” the 
Astoria-Warrenton Chamber of Commerce wrote in August on a Facebook page
 they administer called Goonies Day in Astoria, Oregon.In the 
coming-of-age film, based on a story by Steven Spielberg and featuring a
 young Sean Astin, a group of friends fight to protect their homes from 
an expanding country club and threats of foreclosure. In the process, 
they discover an old treasure map that leads them on an adventure and 
allows them to save their “Goon Docks” neighborhood.Astoria and 
its rugged coastline served as the backdrop for several well-known films
 from the 1980s and ’90s, including “Kindergarten Cop” starring Arnold 
Schwarzenegger.For now, potential buyers of the iconic Goonies 
house don't seem to want to make the house their primary residence, said
 listing agent Miller, suggesting it has drawn interest from people who 
want to “make it their passion.”“It’s kind of a fun buy,” Miller 
said. “Whoever buys the house is going to have a relatively steady 
stream of extremely happy people walking up outside to fulfill their 
childhood dreams.”
