TV/Movie Houses

My husband and I love the house in White Christmas, which is the same house as Holiday Inn. Would love to know anything we can about it.
Truly love your blog! Have spent most of the afternoon on it!!
Keep up your great work.

Dear Julia,

I absolutely adore your site. It’s pure bliss to come home and relax for a few moments by looking at some of the gorgeous interiors you’re showing here.
This x-mas I watched all my favourite x-mas movies again and I would like to see the interior of the house in “The Family”Man” with Nicolas Cage and Tea Leoni, also some of the houses featured in “Love Actually” would be good to look at.
Best regards, Anneke (The Netherlands)

Wow! I love all the research you’ve done on these houses – and can’t wait to see the Sleepless in Seattle house(s) (That Seattle house is supposed to be a houseboat, right?)

Will you consider researching the houses on these movies? ..I’m sure you get lots of requests, I know…
–”Where the Heart Is” stick-built house (probably a set-but I love the floorplan)
–”The Secret Garden” Manor (from the ’90s)
–”The Little Princess” School (also from the ’90s)
–My Girl “Sultunfuss Parlor” house

These houses have great architectual features, IMO

Love the website – thanks!

Hooked on Houses is great but pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease don’t make me watch commercials and then another commercial (movie trailer). I can’t mute it fast enough. It just makes me want to leave the site like a streak of lightning.

Please add the house from “The Sopranos”. Many of us would love to see what the inside of the actual house looks like. Many thanks!

I have just found you. I am already addicted. I got online to look up pic’s of the Bewitched House and stumbled you! What a treasure chest. What a great idea you had to do this! I love it! I pause movies all the time just to get better looks of homes and you have covered almost every movie set that I have ever loved! I am so excited that you are going to do Out of Africa. I actually searched your blog for it. So when I realized it was on your list for 2010 I was ecstatic. I would love to see Bronte’s (Andie Macdowell’s) home in Greencard. Oh and I second The Family Man request.

I am wondering if you would mind if I used some of your house pic’s on my blog with references and link to you ofcourse?

I’ve been thinking about the house from Judging Amy lately. Not that I need a reason to spend even more time on your site, but I would love to see pictures from that show.

Hope this isn’t too ridiculous a query: USA Network’s MONK series. Specifically: Monk’s living room wall color. It’s the perfect shade of latte, cozy, and warmth.
I’ve searched the Monk websites to no avail. Thought Hooked On Houses would be the perfect source for the details; I’d love to paint my own walls tht color!
Thank you in advance,
Molly of San Francisco

Ive always been a fan of the Munster house which began as the Maxim house back in the early 50’s. It was first used in the film “So Goes My Love”. After being used for several different movies and films it is now one of the houses in “Desperate Housewives”. Its appearance is greatly altered from its original “gothic victorian” appearance in the Munsters.

Another great movie house is the victorian ranch house used in the film “Giant”. It was built as a prop outside Marfa, Tx on a nearby ranch. It was left to ruin over the years and now nothing remains except the telephone poles used as the framework over which the prop was built in the early 50s.

I have found several pics over the years of these houses, and can refer you to websites with more info as well.

I would love to see photos of the house from You Me & Dupree.
Your website is amazing

request: the mansion from CLUE !!!

Found you after a Google search for Nights in Rodanthe, love your site, have you seen the house in “Second Hand Lion” ?

Hi Julia,
LOVED your post on the Parent Trap! If you have time (?) to watch “Please Don’t Eat the Daisies” with Doris Day and David Niven it might be worth a post. I was a little uncomfortable with the underlying theme of the movie which seemed to be “a woman’s place is in the home and her husband is her master, etc.,” (typical 1950s) — and that one of their kids is always locked up in a cage, and there’s a bit of name calling and a few swats… but if you just ignore the plot and focus on the places they live!!!! Gorgeous. The most hilarious part is that they move into a dilapidated old house and it apparently gets fixed up in a week — while they’re living there. Ahem. I guess the general public didn’t know a lot about renovating back then.

Julia,

I cannot wait for the TV/Movie houses posting every week, thank you for all your efforts.

Some homes I’m HOOKED on are;
Keeping up with the Kardashians
The Banger Sisters (Susan Sarandon’s character has a beautiful pool)
The Women (Meg Ryan, Annette Benning)…Beautiful estate home

Thanks,

Hi Julia I would love to see Hanging Up -Meg Ryan and Miss Potter – Renea Zelwegger I know you have your hands full with all the requests and I thank you….Regards Esther from Sydney.

The house that was used in “Sleepless in Seattle” was a houseboat that was never used from the inside. It was all shot from a sound stage. The real houseboat is for sale, going for 3-4 million, and is very small. The owner’s never had anyone actually shoot any scenes from the inside of their home. Also, I would love to see the house from “Disclosure” and “The hand that rocks the cradle”. I am from Washington state and those home’s are gorgeous from the outside!
