A Desperate Housewives home is known for its perfect porch, pristine lawn and enough neighbourhood drama to keep the curtains twitching. The iconic houses on Wisteria Lane are just as memorable as the characters who live in them.
We found four real-life homes that capture the personalities and styles of Susan, Lynette, Bree and Gabrielle. Which one would you choose?
Susan Mayer: Cozy cottage charm
A warm-hearted, accident-prone single mum and book illustrator, Susan is more comfortable with a paintbrush than a perfectly planned dinner party. Her yellow Dutch Colonial has the same welcoming, cottage-like feel: charming, cozy and a little imperfect.
327 W Main St, Cheshire
Our pick: This 1850s Cheshire home has New England character, covered front and back porches, and a detached garage with a finished loft. It’s easy to picture Susan enjoying a quiet coffee on the porch, until a neighbour drops by.
Lynette Scavo: Room for the whole crew
Quick-thinking, determined and perpetually juggling family life, Lynette is the practical heart of the Scavo household. Her comfortable, lived-in home feels ready for the constant comings and goings of a busy family.
201 Woodland Dr, New Castle
Our pick: This New Castle home brings the cozy factor, with wood-panelled walls, exposed beams, a stone fireplace and flexible spaces that include a finished basement game room. There’s room to spread out, even when everyone’s home at once.
Bree Van de Kamp: Polished to perfection
A meticulous hostess with sky-high standards, Bree likes everything and everyone to be just so. Her classic Colonial home is the picture of traditional elegance: formal, orderly and always ready to host.
10 Warnke Ln, Scarsdale
Our pick: This Scarsdale Colonial has all the makings of a Bree-approved gathering: a formal dining room, a chef’s kitchen with a butler’s pantry and a sweeping staircase. Out back, there’s a landscaped garden, a deck and even a pizza oven for a garden party that’s just a little more relaxed.
Gabrielle Solis: Glamour with a poolside view
A former model with a taste for fashion and the finer things, Gabrielle brings a little extra drama wherever she goes. Her butter-yellow home is one of Wisteria Lane’s most recognizable, with a glamorous, expressive look all her own.
16619 Arezo Ct, Bella Collina
Our pick: Villa Esperanza turns up the drama with Mediterranean architecture, custom ironwork and lake views. There’s a courtyard, a heated pool and spa, plus an outdoor kitchen for entertaining. Gabrielle would feel right at home.
