Theres a great article on the Roman and Williams Site (The creators of the amazing home used in Practical Magic) all about the house! Wish it was real!!

Check out what they have to say about this magickal home!

‘Practical Magic’ was Robin and Stephen’s second film with director Griffin Dunne. The house they built far transcended a typical film set.

RS: It was another opportunity for us to have a laboratory and work on our own vernacular. We took an established language, a Victorian meets Arts and Crafts language, and developed it and shaped it in a direction that was our own
