Conor’s Row House Listing from “He’s Just Not That Into You”

He’s Just Not That Into You was the thorn in my side prior to my recent trip back east.  As I mentioned yesterday, the 2009 romcom is one of my all-time favorites and before heading to Baltimore, where the film was set and partially shot, in September, I got a bit obsessed with tracking down its locales.  After a rather long and arduous pursuit to find Ben (Bradley Cooper) and Janine’s (Jennifer Connelly) stately home, I set my sights on the row house that real estate agent Conor (Kevin Connolly) was trying to sell – and that he also wanted to buy for Anna (Scarlett Johansson) – at the end of the movie.  It proved just as difficult to locate and, once again, I found myself watching and re-watching the flick, looking for a clue I knew I was missing.

During my umpteenth re-watch of the one scene involving the house (I saw it so many times, I can pretty much recite it from memory), I spotted a barely-visible address number displayed on the residence next door.

Though the number was not clear in the streamed version of the movie I was watching (which is where the above screen capture came from), I knew it would be via Blu-ray, so I popped in my DVD and, sure enough, there was the address 3104, clear as day.  (Unfortunately, I cannot make screen captures of the Blu-ray version of the film as my computer does not have a Blu-ray drive).

It was also clear in the scene that the house was located on a road that ran perpendicular to a one-way street (as you can see in the background below).  So I started searching 3100 blocks in Baltimore that abut one-way streets and fairly quickly found the right spot.

Though He’s Just Not That Into You was only filmed six years ago, I was nevertheless thrilled to see that Conor’s listing still looked exactly the same as it had onscreen.

In real life, the property, which was originally built in 1880, just sold to new owners in July of this year for $279,000.  Per the listing, the pad boasts 2.5 baths, 1,920 square feet of living space, a brand new kitchen with Caesar stone countertops and stainless steel appliances, updated bathrooms, a brick patio, refinished hardwood flooring throughout, and custom built-ins.  The listing information also states that the home has two bedrooms, but from looking at the photographs I believe there are actually four.

I was shocked to discover that the listing even makes mention of the property’s appearance in He’s Just Not That Into You.  Really wish I had happened upon it prior to spending so many hours searching for the place!

The real life interior of the home was also used in the filming, as you can see in the screen captures as compared to the real estate listing photos below.

While the kitchen has since been remodeled, its layout remains the same.

Despite the renovation, the built-in ironing board that Anna fawned over in the movie remains intact!  Love it!  There seems to be some sort of placard affixed to it, too.  I wonder if it says something along the lines of, “Scarlett Johansson touched this.”  Or “Screen-used ironing board.”  Or “Our ironing board is famous.”  Man, I wish the real estate listing had provided a close-up photograph of it.

One thing I did spot in the listing photographs – which floored me to no end – was the “For Sale” sign that was affixed to the front of the house in the movie!  Apparently the owners were allowed to keep it and chose to display it on their wall, which is so incredibly cool.

Until next time, Happy Stalking!
