Alright, alright, alright — film buffs and house hunters alike now have the chance to own a slice of “Dazed and Confused” history. 

A house featured in Richard Linklater’s 1993 cult classic — a film that hilariously shows the friendly, yet not friendly, relationships shared between rising seniors and freshmen in a Texas high school — has just hit the market in Austin for $950,000, and it’s every bit as cool as you’d hope.

“My parents’ home has been a special part of ‘Dazed and Confused’ history. Richard Linklater went to the city of Austin specifically looking for a house with a straight hallway from the front door to the back to make filming easier, and this home was the perfect fit,” Marjorie Tinnell, one of the listing’s reps, told The Post.

“Our family pictures were even left up during production — so in a way, I can say I was ‘in the movie’ too! It’s a fun piece of Austin’s film legacy, and I love that fans still appreciate it today.”

Located at 6806 Pioneer Place, the property played the home of Mitch Kramer, one of the film’s central characters. Played by Wiley Wiggins, Kramer is a rising freshman who quickly falls in with the cool group of seniors after being hazed (spoiler alert: a wooden-paddle flog to the rear end) following a baseball game. Overall, the movie recounts the last day of school, and how people of both age brackets celebrate — whether it’s with an end-of-year school dance or an outdoor beer-fueled rager where a fight breaks out. It stars Matthew McConaughey, Ben Affleck and Parker Posey.

Originally built in 1964, the 2,137-square-foot property has been tastefully updated while still holding onto its vintage charm. 

It features four bedrooms, two bathrooms, two office spaces and a game room. 

The garage is air-conditioned and heated, but can easily be converted back if the new owners prefer. 

Chris and Marjorie Tinnell of Compass, both of whom share the listing, recently hosted an exclusive sneak peek event at the home, going all out by catering from Top Notch — the legendary Austin burger joint that also appeared in the film. 

Renovations include luxury vinyl plank flooring laid in a striking chevron pattern.

In the film, the house was used as Mitch Kramer’s place.

It manages to blend mid-century aesthetics with modern comfort, making it a perfect fit for any buyer — whether they’re a die-hard fan of the movie or just looking for a unique home in one of Austin’s hottest neighborhoods. 

The home’s front doors and shutters have been painted to match a memorable scene in which Wiley Wiggins’ character leaves his house and hops into the back of David Wooderson’s (played by McConaughey) Chevelle for a night of partying.

Inside, the kitchen features modern upgrades, including a Frigidaire microwave and oven, a sleek glass cooktop and updated cabinet hardware. It also connects to the dining room and living area, which is centered around a cozy gas log fireplace. 

Linklater’s film was shot all throughout Austin, also showcasing the Americana Movie Theater (now the Yarborough Branch Library) and the city’s famous moon tower.

The movie introduced a cast of rising stars, also including Milla Jovovich (Michelle Burroughs). 

Linklater and the cast reunited in Austin in fall 2024 for a special 30th-anniversary event.

For those who grew up quoting the film’s laid-back wisdom, this house offers the ultimate bragging rights.

And as McConaughey’s legendary character, Wooderson, might say: “You gotta keep livin’, man — L-I-V-I-N’.”
