Joey Potter’s ‘Dawson’s Creek’ House Is Up For Grabs with a Twist You Won’t See Coming

If you’ve ever daydreamed about living in the same place Joey Potter (played by Katie Holmes) called home on “Dawson’s Creek,” now’s your chance. The iconic house in Wilmington, North Carolina, is on the market for a starting price of $25,000, but don’t get too excited just yet. There’s a twist that’s going to make you do a double-take.

A “Dawson’s Creek” Dream

For any “Dawson’s Creek” fan, this is a real bucket list item. The house was featured as Joey’s home throughout the show, so stepping inside would basically be like entering Capeside. You’d be in the same spot where Joey and Dawson had those big, emotional talks, and where so many pivotal moments from the show unfolded.

However, before you pack your bags, let’s be clear: the house is not exactly how it was in the series, according to People. Sure, it’s still in Wilmington, and it’s still the same structure, but the interior has gone through some renovations over the years. So, while it might give you a flash of nostalgia, it’s not a perfect replica of the TV version you remember.

The Big Catch

Here’s where things get interesting… according to the house’s listing, “this charming waterfront home, featured prominently in the hit late ‘90s/early 2000s series [Dawson’s Creek], is instantly recognizable to fans worldwide and holds a special place in pop culture.” But if you want to be the proud owner of Joey’s house, there’s a pretty big catch. While this is the very house where so many crazy things happened on-screen (and it’s just waiting for someone to take the reins), you can’t just buy the house and call it a day.

People notes that, a few years back, the house was moved from one side of the current property it sits on to the other; and now, it’s going to be happening again. That’s right; the house doesn’t come with the land. If you win the auction, you’ll need to organize and pay for the relocation of the house yourself. This is not your typical property sale, so if you’re imagining just stepping inside and calling it a day, think again. It’s going to take some serious logistics to make it happen. This twist turns what seems like a “Dawson’s Creek” fantasy into a full-on project.

So, if you’ve ever dreamed of owning a piece of iconic television history but thought it was just a pipe dream, this is your opportunity. Just remember, you’re not just buying a house; you’re buying a whole new adventure.
