The original Stars Hollow before Hollywood recreated it

When Gilmore Girls premiered in 2000, the fictional town of Stars Hollow, Connecticut, had not yet been built on the Warner Bros. lot. Instead, producers chose the picturesque streets of Unionville to bring the show's cozy small-town charm to life. The neighbourhood became the backdrop for several iconic locations featured in the pilot.

• A historic red-brick church featured in the opening shots introducing Stars Hollow

For longtime fans, Unionville remains one of the closest real-life versions of Stars Hollow.

The home is asking $3.88 million

The property spans 2,840 square feet and includes:

• Four bedrooms
• Four bathrooms
• Three fireplaces
• A wraparound veranda
• Two staircases
• Exposed wood beams

Ironically, while the television version of Lorelai's home was portrayed as a modest cottage that was even shown falling apart at one point in the series, the real property is a spacious Victorian home with modern upgrades.

Built in the 1800s with modern comforts

Originally constructed around 1875, the house combines heritage architecture with contemporary features. The kitchen includes a central island with bar seating and opens directly onto an outdoor deck, making it ideal for entertaining.

The primary bedroom features one of the home's three fireplaces along with a private walk-out to the outdoors, creating a cozy retreat that fits perfectly with the warm atmosphere Gilmore Girls became famous for.

The property also backs onto a ravine and river, offering scenic views and a peaceful setting that echoes the quiet charm of Stars Hollow.

A historic bakery now serves as a bonus guest space

One of the property's standout features is a 550-square-foot detached heritage building located on the same lot. Before 1984, the structure operated as the town's bakery. It has since been fully renovated with heating, air conditioning, electricity and internet.

Today, it can be used as:

• A home office
• An art or writing studio
• A guest house
• A creative workspace

For Gilmore Girls fans, it's easy to picture it becoming a cozy writing retreat or a charming guest cottage.

A walker's paradise with cafés just steps away

The Century 21 listing gives the neighborhood a walk score of 91, describing it as a "walker's paradise." The home sits just steps from Unionville's historic Main Street, where residents can explore boutique shops, cafés, restaurants, spas and a scenic pond. There's even a gazebo, making the area feel even more like Stars Hollow.

Why Gilmore Girls remains a comfort show for millions

Originally airing from 2000 to 2007, Gilmore Girls became one of television's most beloved family dramas thanks to its fast-paced dialogue, unforgettable characters and heartwarming mother-daughter relationship.

The franchise later returned with Netflix's four-part revival, Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life, in 2016.

Over the years, the series has continued to attract new audiences while longtime fans revisit it as a comfort watch. During the COVID-19 pandemic, many viewers described it as the "perfect refuge from COVID", turning once again to Stars Hollow's familiar streets and comforting atmosphere.

A rare opportunity for TV collectors

The property last changed hands in 2002 and has not been publicly listed since, making this one of the rarest television real estate listings in recent years.

Represented by Sylvia Morris of Century 21 Leading Edge Realty Inc., the sale offers more than just a luxury Victorian home. It gives fans the chance to own the very house where Lorelai and Rory Gilmore's story first began.
