For the last five decades, the property has been owned by the same family, who purchased it in 1978, 12 years before they were approached by producers seeking a dwelling to serve as the home of the Banks family in “The Fresh Prince.” The sitcom, which debuted in 1990 and starred Smith in the lead role, alongside Alfonso Ribeiro, Janet Hubert, and James Avery, focused on a young man’s move from West Philadelphia to the tony community of Bel-Air, where he moved in with his wealthy relatives — putting the family firmly in the public eye. Ironically, the home itself is not located in Bel-Air, but rather 15 minutes down the road in Brentwood, where it was originally built in 1937.
