Here's a look at how our favorite TV shows—from "Game of Thrones" to "Scandal" and "Breaking Bad"—keep us coming back for more._ by [Rachel Handler](https://time.com/author/rachel-handler/) ## Rachel Handler Aug 27, 2015 3:59 PM UTC  Pacific Palisades Brokerage by [Rachel Handler](https://time.com/author/rachel-handler/) ## Rachel Handler Aug 27, 2015 3:59 PM UTC It’s been eight years since _The O.C._ ended, and our long national nightmare of facing a world without Sandy Cohen’s deeply expressive eyebrows began. But there’s hope for us yet, at least those of us who have several million dollars to blow on real estate: The house that served as the exterior for the Cohen’s grand Newport Beach mansion is [for sale](http://www.trulia.com/blog/celebrity-homes/california-here-we-come-the-oc-house-is-for-sale/). All you’ll need to pick it up for yourself is about $6.25 million and a strong sense of early aughts nostalgia. A few caveats, though: The house isn’t actually located in Newport Beach, but in Malibu. There’s no pool house on the property, which means there’s no brooding juvenile delinquent with a penchant for wife-beaters and punching things on the property, either. Most tragically, there’s no Seth Cohen hanging around the manse, ready to engage in wry, pop-culture laden banter at all hours of the day. According to Trulia, the house does offer “intense privacy for residents who want to avoid the prying eyes of the paparazzi…or evil surfer dudes named Volchuk,” as well as six bedrooms, seven bathrooms, and a chef’s kitchen with top-of-the-line appliances—though Kirsten never cooked, so why would you, similarly rich and gorgeous person? The four-acre estate also boasts a sunroom, a library, a home office, the ghost of Caleb Nichol (dude had some unfinished business) and the ability to have something interesting to share about yourself at every party for the rest of your natural life. ## Transcript >> President of the United States that I will faithfully execute the office. >> Power is a lot like real estate. It's all about location, location, location. Closer you are to the source, the higher your property value. Centuries from now when people watch this footage, who will they see smiling just at the edge of the frame? >> So help me God. >> Congratulations. >> Sherlock! >> Just stop it. Stop this. >> Mr. President-- >> Uh- huh. >> We can't. We can't >> We can. >> Look around you. Look where we are. This can't happen. Not anymore. >> I think it could happen right there on that desk. -[ unk ] ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4013277/o-c-mansion-for-sale/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4013277/o-c-mansion-for-sale/"},"headline":"Finally, Here's Your Chance to Live in the Mansion From The O.C.","datePublished":"2015-08-27T15:59:15.000Z","dateModified":"2026-08-04T08:03:01.150Z","description":"Ready to be an honorary Newpsie?","url":"https://time.com/4013277/o-c-mansion-for-sale/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Television"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt3b3b7d53fdb51048/69886128a988ca02f96b4145/the-oc-house.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Rachel Handler","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/rachel-handler/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt3b3b7d53fdb51048/69886128a988ca02f96b4145/the-oc-house.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"The-OC-House","caption":"The-OC-House","creditText":"Pacific Palisades Brokerage","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4013277/o-c-mansion-for-sale/","name":"Finally, Here's Your Chance to Live in the Mansion From The O.C."}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"5 Reasons TV's Top Shows Are So Addictive","description":"Here's a look at how our favorite TV shows—from \"Game of Thrones\" to \"Scandal\" and \"Breaking Bad\"—keep us coming back for more.","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/2RqNgPrk/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2014-01-16T20:47:22.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/2RqNgPrk.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/4013277/o-c-mansion-for-sale/","duration":"PT2M16S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/4013277/o-c-mansion-for-sale/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
