The fictional high school that Anne Hathaway’s “Princess Diaries” character attends is actually a famous San Francisco home in real life. This iconic property is now on the market for $6.5 million.
Located in San Francisco’s Presidio, the 4,554-square-foot estate served as the exterior filming location for the fictional “Grove High School” in the 2001 movie. The home is over 100 years old and is considered one of the city’s most beloved properties. It is situated on the edge of the Presidio, a sprawling National Park at the foot of the Golden Gate Bridge.
The 12-room villa features a beautiful rooftop garden that offers panoramic views of the city and San Francisco Bay. It also includes an outdoor kitchen with heaters and a fire pit, perfect for entertaining guests. The entrance to the home is particularly famous, as it is the setting for the scene where Anne’s character is outed as a princess while trying to get to class with the media waiting outside the front gate.
The interior of the home is just as stunning as the exterior. It boasts hardwood floors, large living rooms with fireplaces and arched windows, and a master bedroom with a walk-in closet. One of the highlights of the property is the breathtaking views it offers of the city, park, and Bay.
