Hollywood history has hit the market.
The iconic house featured on the hit sitcom "The Golden Girls" is listed for the first time by Douglas Elliman, with an asking price of $3 million. The exterior of the Los Angeles property was filmed for the show's first season, but the interior was filmed on a set.
This is the first time the public has seen what the inside of the "Golden Girls" house really looks like — and it's just as retro as the sitcom itself.
The custom-built house takes on a mid-century Japanese-Hawaiian aesthetic, complete with sliding shoji screens and an engawa, which is a type of Japanese veranda.
While most of the house has an open, inviting feel thanks to natural tones and high windows, the kitchen comes alive with color.

While the show filmed the exterior of the house, it used a set for the interior. This is the first time the public has been able to glimpse what's inside.
Exterior shots of the LA house were used during the first season. The producers built a replica of the house in Orlando at Walt Disney World's Hollywood's that they then filmed exterior shots of beginning in the second season, according to The Huffington Post.
It's now a Disney park attraction.
