While I always assumed that the charming interior of Annie’s home was a set, my friend/fellow stalker David, who is a denizen of the Pacific Northwest, has heard that interiors were shot at an actual residence in West Seattle. Only the exterior of the site was used in Sleepless in Seattle. Though I do believe the structure was a private residence at one point, today it serves as an office, housing the Baltimore branch of Captel, a fundraising and membership development company. In real life, the three-story property, which was originally built in 1900, houses 1,995 square feet of space and 3.5 baths. Miraculously, the dwelling looks almost exactly the same today as it did 23 years ago when Sleepless in Seattle was filmed.Įven the duck boot scraper visible in the bottom right of the above screen capture is still intact.Īnnie’s house was featured several times throughout Sleepless in Seattle. So when I found out that the Grim Cheaper and I were heading to Baltimore, where Sleepless was partially filmed, this past September, I started putting together a list of must-see locales from the movie, namely the gorgeous brick townhome where Annie Reed (Meg Ryan) and her fiancé, Walter (Bill Pullman), lived.Īnnie’s residence has been well-documented online for years, so I did not have to do any sleuthing to hunt it down. The film had an immediate visceral effect on me – and still does to this day. As I mentioned in this 2010 post about the houseboat from the 1993 romcom, I still remember exactly where I was the first time I saw it and have my ticket stub tucked away in a box. Sleepless in Seattle is one such movie for me. We all have those movies – the ones that affected us so much upon first viewing, they left a lasting imprint on our hearts.
