9 . Ever find yourself wondering what it might be like to live in some of TV's most famous homes? Famous homes can become part of the reason you fall in love with a series, so here are some of our favorites.

The real house boasts seven bedrooms, eight bathrooms, and a balcony surrounded by walls providing some unreal ocean views. The house is said to have its fair share of celebrity guests too. It's no wonder why!

Modern Family: Jay’s house

The two-story contemporary home is bursting with bold colors and animal prints, with many guessing that the decoration channels Gloria's strong personality. But it's the back yard that makes the house so appealing. The huge pool that's frequently spotted in various episodes is a strong reminder that we need to move to destination with more sunshine on offer.

American Horror Story: The Coven house

Although taken over by witches in the series and called “Miss Robichaux's Academy for Exceptional Young Ladies”, the elegant house is actually called Buckner Mansion. The famous home is complete with tall ceilings, impressive chandeliers, and stairs that go on forever. You can't actually visit the mansion, but you can stroll by it.

The Sopranos: Tony's house

The spacious New Jersey home has a huge dining area, four bedrooms, an outside pool, and that famous curved driveway featured in the opening credits. It's no wonder the famous house has just gone on the market for 3.4 million! Research shows that the mansion may have more than doubled in value since the show.
