While Gilmore Girls arguably took the season of fall hostage twenty-five years ago, real 90s TV fans know that Charmed cast its spell first. Following three sisters who discover they are part of a magical lineage, the show became an instant classic. And it is still the perfect cozy-spooky fall watch. But fans can take the experience one step further by visiting the Charmed House in Los Angeles, the real-life Victorian manor that served as the sisters’ iconic home.
Though set in San Francisco, the Halliwell sisters’ exterior shots were filmed at the Innes House in L.A. Located on the historic Carroll Avenue in Angelino Heights, the street is also home to countless other famous productions. Visitors can take a nostalgic look for themselves and experience the magic of the street that brought Charmed to life.
Halliwell Manor: the iconic Charmed House fans can visit
Charmed follows sisters Prue (Shannen Doherty), Piper (Holly Marie Combs), and Phoebe (Alyssa Milano) Halliwell as they navigate life, love, and their newfound magical powers. The show blends supernatural adventures with family drama, often using the sisters’ Victorian manor as a visual anchor.
In the series, the manor sits atop a Spiritual Nexus: a source of immense magical energy both good and evil. The house then plays a vital role, symbolizing the Halliwell family legacy and the dual nature of their magical world.

The real-life Innes House is one of the original homes built on Carroll Avenue in the late 1880s. It is a striking Victorian with ornate trim, tall windows, and a detailed façade that became the perfect backdrop for the sisters’ spellbinding exploits. While the interior shots were filmed on a soundstage, the exterior remains a must-see pilgrimage for fans wanting to step into the world of Charmed.
Carroll Avenue: one of L.A.’s most magical filming locations.
Carroll Avenue itself is a gem of Los Angeles filmmaking history. Its tree-lined streets and well-preserved Victorian homes have made it a go-to location for countless productions. Beyond Charmed, the street has hosted scenes from Michael Jackson’s Thriller music video, Salem’s Lot, and numerous Halloween classics. It’s easy to see why. Angelino Heights is home to one of the largest concentrations of Victorian homes remaining in the city, giving the street a timeless, cinematic charm.
The combination of historic architecture and filmmaking history makes it one of L.A.’s most magical streets, perfect for a fall afternoon stroll or a nostalgic TV-themed outing.
