Dayton, Ohio, realtor Rachel Gannon is a huge fan of the TV show "Friends."
That's why, when she bought a house in November, she decided to turn it into a near-replica of Monica and Rachel's apartment.

Barring the purple front door, this Dayton, Ohio, home looks pretty normal from the outside.

Inside, however, you'll find it's anything but. The home is modeled after an iconic locale from the hit TV show "Friends" — the New York City apartment of characters Monica and Rachel.

"I spent most of November and December re-watching the show for the millionth time and taking lots of notes," Gannon said. "I wanted to find very intricate details that only hardcore fans would recognize and have the very iconic and easily recognizable details in there as well."

Gannon also had the walls painted purple after the eye-catching walls in Monica and Rachel's apartment.

There's even a red racecar bed as a nod to the episode where Monica buys a mattress from Janice's ex-husband but a racecar bed is mistakenly delivered instead.

In January, Gannon started listing the home as an Airbnb.
