From Screen to Reality
While exterior shots established the home's television fame, the actual interior scenes were filmed on a soundstage. However, this hasn't diminished the property's appeal to dedicated fans of the show that launched the careers of James Van Der Beek, Katie Holmes, and Michelle Williams.
The current owners have maintained the property's distinctive white exterior with dark green shutters that became synonymous with Dawson's teenage years and his enduring friendship with Joey Potter.

This property represents more than just real estate—it's a cultural landmark that continues to capture the imagination of 90s television enthusiasts. Its unique status as an iconic TV home makes it a potentially lucrative investment for the right buyer, particularly those interested in capitalising on nostalgia tourism.
Local estate agents report significant interest from both Dawson's Creek devotees and property investors recognising the unique appeal of owning a piece of television history.
