The property boasts four bedrooms, four bathrooms, three fireplaces, and a wraparound veranda, all for the asking price of $3.88 million. Despite being initially depicted as a cozy cottage on the verge of collapse, the 2,840-square-foot house offers ample space and charm. The show, which aired from 2000 to 2007 and later had a revival on Netflix in 2016, resonates with many viewers as a comforting escape, especially during challenging times like the COVID-19 pandemic.
