A historic, and once famous, home in Williamstown, Victoria has hit the market with a price guide of $2.19 million to $2.4 million.
Some may recognise the 8 Thompson St property as the house that appeared on the police drama Blue Heelers from 1994 to 2006, reported realestate.com.au on Friday.
Built in 1907, the home was used in external shots for the TV show, alongside recently sold 10 Thompson St which served as the fictional Mt Thomas police station.
Both properties are heritage-listed as they once served as real-life police stations in Williamstown, previously known as the Sergeant and Watchhouse Keeper quarters.
House number eight features three bedrooms, a sitting room that could double as a fourth, Baltic pine floors, decorative fireplaces and pressed-metal ceilings.

It was last sold in 2003 for $832,500, making the current owner a potential $1,567,500 in profit on the upcoming sale.
Anthony Christakakis, from Jellis Craig, revealed the local council have approved plans to extend the home and redesign the garden.
‘The owners who intended to do the extension have moved overseas for work reasons,’ he said.
‘We have had lots of interest with some young families, especially locals.
‘I think, being on a corner block over 700sq m with the potential to subdivide, subject to council approval, creates endless possibilities.’
He went on to say number ten next door sold to a family earlier this year.
The vintage cottage that served as a major location for the beloved Aussie series Blue Heelers hit the market in February with a price guide of $2.8 million to $3.1 million.
The five-bedroom, two-bathroom Federation pad featured in the long-running cop drama as the fictional Mount Thomas police station.

Blue Heelers, which ran for 12 years from 1994 to 2006 on the Seven Network, starred a large cast of fan favourites including Lisa McCune, Julie Nihill and John Wood.
Located only 14km from the CBD, the gorgeously preserved home was seen in exterior scenes in Blue Heelers which was set in a small Victorian country town.
Agents behind the sale told the Herald Sun the listing of the charming home attracted views from potential buyers with fond memories of the show.
Blue Heelers is the fourth-most popular TV show in Australian history, with 25 Logies to its name, while lead actress Lisa McCune won four Gold Logies for the series.
Major Australian actors who went on to stellar careers were featured in guest roles over the show’s long run, including Hollywood star Hugh Jackman and Peter O’Brien.
Other actors included Charles ‘Bud’ Tingwell, from Crawford’s classic Homicide series of the ’60s and ’70s, as well as SeaChange star John Howard.
Australians were in tears when Lisa’s character Maggie Doyle was fatally shot in dramatic scenes on the show in 2000.
Almost two decades on from the iconic TV moment, the actress revealed in 2018 that she never wanted the police officer to die.

In the police drama, Maggie was shot and killed a day before she was due to enter witness protection, after she found a computer disk with information about a gang.
She told news.com.au: ‘I understand why they had to do it, but I think because I knew she had such a strong, young female following I felt really strongly that I wanted her to stay alive.’
Lisa went on to feature in another long-running series Sea Patrol from 2007-2011.
The four-time Gold Logie winner made headlines in 2024 when she won Dancing With The Stars Australia.
The actress took out the Mirror Ball Trophy with her professional dance partner Ian Waite in a tense finale on the Channel Seven dancing competition.
She was also awarded $20,000 for her chosen charities, the RCD Foundation and the Harrison Riedel Foundation.
