A charming piece of TV history is up for grabs as the famous house from the pilot episode of “Gilmore Girls” is now on the market near Toronto. Listed for $3.88 million, the property boasts four bedrooms, four bathrooms, three fireplaces, and a picturesque wraparound veranda. The cozy cottage, known for its role in the beloved series, offers a glimpse into the world of Lorelai and Rory Gilmore.
“Gilmore Girls” fans can now own a piece of nostalgia, as the Unionville, Ont., home was a prominent feature in the original TV production. The show, which aired from 2000 to 2007 and later had a revival on Netflix in 2016, captured the hearts of viewers with its comforting storyline set in the fictional town of Stars Hollow, Conn.
Despite being a world away from the show’s fictional setting, Unionville still exudes charm with its historic Main Street, boutique shops, cozy cafes, and scenic pond. A “walker’s paradise” with a high walk score of 91, the real-life house offers a unique opportunity for fans to immerse themselves in the world of “Gilmore Girls.”
