Welcome to Movie Monday, when I feature the sets from films that we love for the fabulous houses in them. Today I’m showing you photos from the 1995 romantic comedy “Sabrina,” with Harrison Ford and Julia Ormond. Sabrina lives over the garage on the Larrabee estate with her father, who is the family chauffeur. (Their stone cottage is charming, too, as you’ll see.) She’s got a crush on David Larrabee, the younger son, but he doesn’t seem to know she exists.
After Sabrina returns from an internship at Paris Vogue–now grown up, gorgeous, and glam–she finally turns his head. But David’s older brother Linus (Harrison Ford) is determined to keep them apart so that David will go ahead with his engagement to a billionaire’s daughter. As Linus spends more time with Sabrina, however, he finds himself falling in love with her and has to reconsider the belief that money is the only thing in life worth fighting for.
An aerial view of the Larrabee estate (above). It really does look like something out of a fairy tale in this photo (below):
There’s an outdoor pool:
And an indoor pool:
Indoor tennis courts, and outdoor tennis courts (I took these photos while watching the movie, which is why there are some names from the credits on some of them):
A solarium:
Sabrina inside the solarium at night, waiting for David to meet her (but he never arrives):
The main hall of the house:
Sabrina–before her Parisian makeover and looking an awful lot like Ugly Betty with a bad wig and giant glasses–sneaks into the house, intent on finding David and saying goodbye before leaving for her internship in France:
Love the porthole window as in the stairway:
The upstairs landing:
David’s room, where Sabrina goes to confess her love to him, only to realize it is Linus with his back to her in the closet:
David Larrabee (Greg Kinnear in his first major acting role–he was known as the host of “Talk Soup” on the E! Channel before this) in the pool room:
Linus schemes to keep David away from Sabrina, fearing that a broken engagement will mean a broken merger between the two families:
Linus greets Sabrina at the back door. You can see a view of the water in the distance:
Linus argues with David in the library, insisting that he stay away from Sabrina:
Another view of the library, when David introduces his fiancee Elizabeth (Lauren Holly) to his mother Maude (Nancy Marchand–also known as Tony Soprano’s mom) and Linus:
Another view of the round window, from above:
The upstairs landing where David’s nurse is posted while he recovers from an unfortunate incident with a couple of champagne glasses:
The servants in the kitchen (note Paul Giamatti on the right–now known as John Adams–in a part so small that if you blink, you miss him!):
I just love the way they designed this kitchen to look like it’s been around for decades:
Sabrina has lived with her father in the stone cottage above the garage her entire life:
Tom took the job as a chauffeur because it gave him plenty of time to read. His home is filled with books:
Sabrina’s father, Tom (John Wood), crosses the reflecting pond in front of the stone cottage they live in:
Sabrina’s room:
Note the Dutch door on the left:
Another shot of Sabrina’s room as she unpacks from Paris:
To get Sabrina away from David, Linus flies her to their vacation home on Martha’s Vineyard on the pretext of hiring her to take photos of it before he puts it on the market:
The table is set for a romantic lunch that Linus hopes will help Sabrina forget all about his younger brother:

This movie is full of eye candy, from the Larrabee estate to the stone cottage over the garage and this charming vacation home on Martha’s Vineyard. If you could live in any one of them, which would you choose?
I would be remiss if I didn’t mention that the original movie version of “Sabrina,” which premiered in 1954 and featured Audrey Hepburn in the title role, is also a fun one to watch.

Love that movie and the house! I think I have seen that movie over 30 times….it was on TV the other night and my husband was Ohhhhh…nooooooooing it from the other room. Isn’t it grand?
I love the gardens at the Larrabee Estate.

Wouldn’t it be awesome to have a home like this. I once visited Hearst Castle and thought how awesome it would be live in a home like that.

The cottage is so charming…I would live there, although the vacation house wouldn’t be too terrible either! I do love the kitchen in the estate house though. Wonderful giveaway. Thanks.
An indoor tennis court….just imagine! What I like most though is the lobster napkin rings on the table Linus has set.
bren j.’s last blog post..What? Again?
One of my all-time fav movies, once again! I would definitely choose the cottage on Martha’s Vineyard. It’s so quaint and cozy. When I was a teenager, though, I would have chosen the mansion.

I adore this movie, and love the photos of the house you have shown. It was like walking through the story frame by frame.

I like the most recent Sabrina – haven’t see the older one though. Thanks!
SO love the house and grounds … and I adore the kitchen.
I love houses like this and I love Harrison Ford!
I especially enjoyed looking at the decor of the Long Island estate. The wood staircase, the mail hall and the cosy-llooking kitchen are some favorites.
I wish I had that kitchen
I’ve only seen the original with Audrey Hepburn but now I want to see the newer one. Thanks for the great post and giveaway!
I dream of staying in a place like that someday -would love to drool while watching the movie.
Pretty Pictures! Thanks for your giveaway!

Thanks for sharing the great photos. I really like that movie.

I really like both versions of this film. This house is lovely, and I wish I could have one like it someday.
I don’t think I’d better tell my husband about your site. He is addicted to viewing houses and I may never see him again. Have always loved Sabrina and it was interesting to read about the houses. Thanks!

*sigh* I love Sabrina! I used to watch it every time it came on HBO. I just love the whole “ugly duckling to swan” transformations in movies. The house was beautiful too

I have watched both versions of the movie and I have to say I like the latest one with Harrison Ford better. Those pictures of the houses are just gorgeous and I am green with envy
