31 Victoria Avenue Ontario

The original Gilmore Girls home in Ontario just hit the market for $4 million

Fans of Gilmore Girls might want to start digging around in their couch cushions because a piece of Stars Hollow history is officially up for grabs in Ontario.

The heritage home at 31 Victoria Ave. in Unionville is currently listed for $3,880,000, and while the nearly 150-year-old house is impressive enough on its own, it also comes with a pretty fun claim to fame.

The home was featured in the original Gilmore Girls television production.31 Victoria Avenue Ontario

The side of the home. 

Unionville famously stood in for Stars Hollow in the show's pilot episode, with several locations along Main Street appearing on screen before production moved to the Warner Bros. lot in California.

And now, you could apparently own a little piece of that television history.

Built circa 1875, the home sits on an exceptionally private lot overlooking the ravine and river, surrounded by mature trees that make the property feel surprisingly secluded despite being steps from Unionville's busy Main Street.

The front porch. 

From the outside, the house looks exactly like the kind of place you'd expect to find in Stars Hollow.

The verandah. 

There's an expansive wraparound verandah, plenty of historic charm and enough space to sit outside with approximately 17 cups of coffee while complaining about your mother.

A wet bar. 

Inside, the home has managed to hold onto plenty of its original character. There are original pine floors, two staircases and three fireplaces, including two wood-burning fireplaces and one gas.

The living room. 

The main living space is particularly impressive, with exposed wood beams running across the ceiling, a wet bar and direct access to the backyard.

The fireplace and built-in cabinets in the living room. 

According to the listing, there's also potential to expand the home behind the fireplace. And, somewhat unexpectedly, the layout can apparently accommodate a 24-by-18-foot dance floor or grand entertaining space.

Because nothing says historic Victorian home quite like having enough room to host your own Stars Hollow dance marathon.31 Victoria Avenue Ontario

The kitchen. 

The renovated kitchen is considerably more modern than the rest of the house, with marble countertops, a stainless-steel gas stove, a built-in range hood, and an integrated refrigerator and dishwasher.

There's also a walkout to a private deck overlooking the surrounding greenery.

Elsewhere on the main floor, there's a formal dining room and a separate office.

The primary bedroom. 

Upstairs, the primary bedroom has its own vintage fireplace and walkout overlooking the property.

There are two additional bedrooms and a second-floor sitting room.

The lower level of the house. 

The finished lower level adds even more space, including a three-piece bathroom and plenty of storage.

The view of the house from the street. 

But arguably one of the most interesting features of the property isn't actually inside the main house.

The detached heritage building. 

The lot also includes a detached heritage building measuring approximately 550 square feet.

The foyer. 

The commercially zoned building has its own two-piece bathroom and could potentially be used as an office, design studio, boutique workspace, guest suite or private retreat.

The kitchen. 

It also comes with its own piece of Unionville history. According to the listing, the building served as the village bakery from 1910 until 1984 and offers potential for future expansion.

The property. 

Combined, the main residence and detached commercial building offer approximately 3,390 square feet of space.

An outdoor patio. 

And while the property itself feels tucked away from the world, it's just steps from Historic Unionville Main Street, as well as restaurants, cafés, shops and Toogood Pond.

So, basically, you get a nearly 150-year-old heritage home, a former village bakery, commercial space, a massive private lot and a connection to one of the most beloved television shows of the early 2000s.

All for the very Stars Hollow-unfriendly price of $3,880,000.
