Amongst all the crime dramas in the world, a major reason Blue Bloods stands apart from the rest is how realistic the series is. Loyal viewers are well aware the New York City-based hit is filmed in the Big Apple. But few may know that the Reagan family’s TV home, set in Brooklyn’s Bay Ridge neighborhood, actually exists.
Staying true to its realism, the residence where the Reagans sit down to their iconic family dinners is in the same area they claim to live in in the show—and it’s on the very same street, nonetheless.
The above is a “Colonial-style brick house,” The Brooklyn Daily Eagle reports. This is where the exterior scenes of police commissioner Frank Reagan’s (Tom Selleck) home are filmed (the interior shots are recorded on a set).
The beautiful residence isn’t just for looks—it’s inhabited by a bishop, according to the publication. The homestead has belonged to the Diocese of Saint Maron-USA since 1978. There’s no word on whether the owner is a fan of Blue Bloods, but perhaps their church could be a location for Jamie Reagan (Will Estes) and Eddie Janko (Vanessa Ray) to exchange their wedding vows!
With its picturesque landscaping, numerous windows, and stately chimney, Frank’s abode is certainly stunning—but it’s not the only impressive property on the block. The newspaper adds that the area is filled with 100-year-old mansions, modest Victorian spaces, and even a gingerbread house that—almost—looks cute enough to eat.
The show isn’t on the CBS lineup this week, but you can still get your Blue Bloods fix by planning a trip to the breathtaking street where the Reagans enjoy their Sunday suppers.
