About this home
This is not a replica. This is the real house that introduced the world to the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. Located at 251 N Bristol Ave in the heart of Brentwood Park, this legendary Georgian Colonial estate is the actual exterior facade seen in the opening credits and throughout the iconic Will Smith sitcom that defined a generation. While the show was set in Bel-Air, the real Fresh Prince mansion sits just minutes away, on one of the most prestigious streets in Los Angeles. Built in 1937, the estate spans approximately 10,000 square feet and rests on an extraordinary 38,510-square-foot corner lot. The home has been updated and remodeled multiple times over the past decades, blending classic East Coast Georgian architecture with the scale and presence of a true Los Angeles landmark. Recognized around the world and featured in countless films, television shows, commercials, and media productions over the last 35+ years, this property is one of the most famous residential facades in Los Angeles history. Its stately symmetry, grand entrance, and commanding curb appeal have made it instantly recognizable to millions. Beyond its cultural significance, the estate offers rare scale, privacy, and opportunity in Brentwood Park, surrounded by some of the city's most notable estates. The expansive grounds allow for endless possibilities, whether preserving its historic charm, further enhancing the existing residence, or re-imagining the property for a new generation. This is more than a home. This is a piece of television history. A global icon. And a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a true Los Angeles legend....
