12 Famous Movie and TV Houses You Can Actually Visit

The Painted Ladies, as this row of houses is known, is featured prominently in the opening credits of the beloved TV show Full House. You can visit this spot overlooking San Francisco's Alamo Square Park, though you'll have to go a handful of blocks to Broderick Street to see the Tanner family home with the red door (though it's actually not red in real life).

While the original eye-shaped windows on the top of the house are gone, the Amityville Horror house is still pretty hard to miss. If you find yourself on Long Island, head to Ocean Avenue in Amityville, NY, to see this spooky place for yourself.

This classic white home in Pasadena, CA, was featured in the exterior shots for the 1991 Steve Martin film Father of the Bride. You'll have to go to the nearly identical home in Alhambra to see the house used for the basketball scenes, though.

HGTV recently bought The Brady Bunch house with the goal of renovating it to match how it looked in the TV show, both inside and out. The renovation will be coming to HGTV in the Fall of 2019, but in the meantime, you can stop by to see the house on Dilling Street in North Hollywood.

If you want to see the house featured in the Home Alone movies, you'll have to go to Winnetka, IL, a suburb of Chicago. You won't be able to go inside the McAllister home, but you'll at least be able to get a snap of its iconic facade.

If you're a die-hard Downton Abbey fan, you may want to consider a pilgrimage to Highclere Castle in England. You can tour the gardens and even the house itself, and they even offer special tours throughout the year with perks like afternoon tea so you can really feel like Lady Grantham.

Harry Potter's famous childhood home is real, though the well-known address isn't. The original house used in Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone is actually 12 Picket Post Close in Berkshire, west of London. But you can see the house they built for the rest of the films on the Warner Brothers Studio Tour.

Incredibly, you can actually stay in the house from A Christmas Story! It now operates as a museum and attraction in Cleveland, OH (despite the movie being set in Indiana), so you can go inside and see all of the iconic decor from the beloved film — including, yes, the leg lamp.

What better place to pay your respects to the late Robin Williams than outside the Mrs. Doubtfire house? The stunning 19th century home on Steiner Street is a beautiful spot to add to your tour of San Francisco.

Unfortunately, the house from A Nightmare On Elm Street isn't on Elm Street at all (it's on Genesee Avenue), and it's not even in Ohio, where the film was set. But you can still see this famous house from the Wes Craven classic on Genesee Avenue in West Hollywood.

While Friends was filmed primarily at Warner Brothers Studios in Burbank, California, the exterior shots of their apartment building are of a real place in New York. The Greenwich Village building is located at the corner of Bedford and Grove and is a major stop on Friends-themed tours in the city.

The Dakota building, which is located on 72nd Street, is one of the most famous apartment buildings in New York and, dating back to 1884, it's steeped in history. Film buffs will know it as the filming location for the Roman Polanski classic Rosemary's Baby, but it's also well known as the site where John Lennon was murdered in 1980. You'll have to admire it from the outside though, as it's a private residence.
