A home with a striking resemblance to the residence of Lorelai and Rory Gilmore from the hit TV series “Gilmore Girls” is up for sale near Toronto. The property, featured in the pilot episode of the show, has hit the market with an asking price of $3.88 million. The house, located just outside Toronto, boasts four bedrooms, four bathrooms, three fireplaces, and a charming wraparound veranda. Originally intended to be a small cottage, the 2,840-square-foot home has been well-maintained and offers a cozy yet spacious living space.
“Gilmore Girls,” which aired from 2000 to 2007 and later had a revival on Netflix in 2016, holds a special place in the hearts of many viewers, especially millennials. The show’s setting in the fictional town of Stars Hollow, Conn., and its quirky characters have made it a beloved classic for fans seeking comfort and nostalgia.
While most of the series was filmed at Warner Bros. Studios in Los Angeles after the pilot, the original home in Unionville, Ont., stands as a nostalgic reminder of the show’s roots. The listing by Century 21 describes the property as a “walker’s paradise” with a high walk score of 91 due to its proximity to boutique shops, spas, a picturesque pond, and charming cafes.
Unionville and the surrounding areas offer fans of “Gilmore Girls” the chance to explore more locations reminiscent of Stars Hollow. The show also has strong ties to Canada, with Montreal-born actor Yanic Truesdale portraying Michel Gerard and Saskatchewan’s David Sutcliffe playing a significant role as Rory’s father and Lorelai’s love interest. Additionally, Sebastian Bach, the former Skid Row frontman who played Gil in the series, hails from Peterborough, Ont.
For fans looking to own a piece of “Gilmore Girls” history, this unique property presents an exciting opportunity to step into the world of Lorelai and Rory Gilmore.
