AT first glance, this unassuming house looks like your average two-bedroom home.
But a peek inside will be enough to make any Friends fan exclaim “Oh. My. God.” as it is kitted out like the set of the hit TV show, with a Central Perk-themed living room and a clone of Monica‘s kitchen.

On the market for a cool £250,000 ($330,000), the three-bathroom property in Houston, Texas, transports nostalgic fans of the beloved series to New York as visitors get the opportunity to walk in the shoes of Rachel, Monica, Chandler, Joey, Phoebe and Ross.
The living room looks like it’s been lifted straight out of Central Perk, the favoured hang-out spot of the six friends, complete with a crushed velvet sofa for guests to sink into.
Fans can enjoy a steaming mug of coffee while looking at a remarkably life-like mural of the shop’s windows looking out onto a tree and a yellow NYC cab apparently parked up outside.
In the next room, an impressive mural featuring the iconic water fountain from the opening credits is emblazoned across the wall along with the show’s logo.
On the staircase is a humorous drawing of Ross yelling “Pivot!”, a nod to the hysterical scene where he, Rachel and Chandler try to get a sofa up a flight of stairs with great difficulty.
Meanwhile, true fans will spot the lilac and blue colour scheme in the kitchen, in tribute to Monica and Rachel’s kitchen.
A more modern addition is the property’s garage which features a 220-volt charger for Tesla vehicles.
The Zillow ad reads: “F·R·I·E·N·D·S – If you loved the TV show, then you’ll love this house!
