30 of the Most Beautiful Movie Homes in Cinematic History
We're still waiting on that invite to party at the Great Gatsby mansion.
The magic of the silver screen means no one lives inside a basic house. From the dreamy Italian villa in Under the Tuscan Sun to the classic Colonial Revival in Father of the Bride, these are the famous sets that make us want to house hunt in Hollywood.
'The Notebook'
Not only can we thank this plantation-style home for reuniting Noah and Allie, but we don't think it's a stretch to say it's one of the most memorable homes from any movie — ever. And that's sayin' something.
'The Holiday'
It's easy to see why Cameron Diaz's Los Angeles-based character wanted to escape to this British cottage for Christmas. The two chimneys fill our own dreams of living there with warm, crackling firewood and endless mugs of hot chocolate.
'The Holiday'
As for Kate Winslet's character, a sunny California mansion was her dream retreat. We love that the modern abode has a stylish Spanish touch and boasts bright flowers across the extravagant balcony.
'Home Alone'
Hey, there's a reason a couple of thieves were interested in breaking into this home in the first place: It's gorgeous. Little did they know what awaited them inside.
'The Lake House'
When a movie is named after a home, you know it's going to be memorable. This one is made almost entirely out of glass and is where both Sandra Bullock and Keanu Reeves' characters lived during this film.
'Something's Gotta Give'
Nothing compares to the beauty of a Hampton's beach house, and this one, which served as the shared home for Diane Keaton and Jack Nicholson in this romantic comedy, is no exception. No wonder the two characters fell in love while living here.
'Nights in Rodanthe'
In this movie, the beach house serves as Diane Lane's character's North Carolina inn — and talk about prime real estate! The blue shutter-covered home is located right on the sand and, during high tide, even in the water.
'Forrest Gump'
There's a reason this famous home is so unbelievably beautiful: It was actually built for the movie — and has sadly been torn down since. Fingers crossed the iconic swing is still hanging.
'Ferris Bueller's Day Off'
Even though Ferris' home was all-American, it was Cameron's that left a lasting impression. The super modern design and glass walls make it one-of-a-kind (and let's not forget the iconic car inside).
'Miracle on 34th Street'
To some people, this adorable home embodies everything that is Christmas. And it's easy to see why: The quaint yellow exterior, the magical dusting of snow and the Taxi cab (implying visitors!) are all picturesque.
'The Proposal'
When Sandra Bullock's character visits her assistant's home in Alaska, she didn't expect to find a lakeside mansion nestled in nature. Let's just say, that was the first of many surprises she would discover during her visit.
'Under the Tuscan Sun'
When Diane Lane's character impulsively buys a villa in Tuscany, she inherits both a life-changing experience and a stunning abode. Seriously, can we talk about the ivy growing around the door?
'The Choice'
If you loved the white house from The Notebook, you'll adore the bungalow from The Choice, another movie adapted from a Nicholas Sparks' novel. This one tones down the grandness and is all about the charm.
'Meet Me in St. Louis'
This Second Empire Victorian home was where Judy Garland's character, Esther Smith, lived with her family. Inside, the beautiful staircase and elaborate decor tends to steal the show (but we don't mind!).
'Clueless'
Even though Cher's modern home was fabulous, it was her best friend Dionne's (which only makes a split-second cameo) that feels like the one that got away. Even the walkway to the front door is over the top.
'Mrs. Doubtfire'
There's something about the incline of the San Francisco street that makes this home totally unforgettable. Oh, and the fact that Robin Williams' character pretended to be the family housekeeper inside of it doesn't hurt either.
'The Parent Trap'
Even though Annie's London home was lovely, it was Hallie's California abode that tickled our jealous bone. After all, it's hard to beat a Spanish-influenced design that comes with a pool and a vineyard.
'National Lampoon's Family Vacation'
We'll admit that half of the beauty of this movie's home is the result of the over-the-top Christmas lights. But there's also something so family-friendly about the interior that reminds us of our own homes.
'Mean Girls'
What else would you expect from the most popular girl in school? Everything about this elaborate mansion screamed "expensive," from the columns to the brick to the pricy convertible parked out front.
'Sleepless in Seattle'
This houseboat was simple but made quite the statement. To make matters even better, a young, hunky Tom Hanks spent many scenes brooding and contemplating life out front. Sigh.
