FREEHOLD, NJ — The victorian house that rose to fame for its appearance on the hit 1990s show "Sabrina The Teenage Witch" is back on the market with a price tag of $1.95 million.

Although the show was set in a fictional town called Westbridge in Massachusetts (and filmed in a soundstage in Hollywood), the house was actually located in Freehold, on 64 E. Main Street.

Show creator Nell Scovell said she wanted an East Coast vibe for establishing shots and stumbled upon the victorian style house in Freehold. Former owner of Scott Beskin told Asbury Park Press that scouts went by the place one day and offered him money to take a photo of the building to use for the show.

"Victorian seemed appropriate for witches," Scovell told NJ Advance Media. "Of course the architecture of the inside of the house didn't really match the outside. We tried to match the ornamentation of the front door, but the New Jersey house was way bigger than anything we could recreate on a soundstage."

The house is being sold as a renovated office building "right outside of the heart of Freehold Boro's business area," according to the listing. It also features a 2000 square feet back building.

In the show, the house was known as Spellman Manor, where the teenage witch Sabrina, played by Melissa Joan Hart, lived with her two aunts and the talking cat Salem.

The character of Sabrina recently came back to the small screen with Netflix's adaptation of the Archie Comics, "Chilling Adventures of Sabrina," which premiered in 2018.

The original sitcom show ran on ABC from 1996 to 2003.
