Want a tour of the real-life mansions featured in 1995 film Clueless? Duh!

The homes of lead characters Cher Horowitz (played by Alicia Silverstone) and Dionne Davenport (Stacey Dash) are still standing in Los Angeles.

Cher’s estate is located in Encino in the San Fernando Valley, and Dionne’s English-style estate is situated in flashy Beverly Hills.

Unlike many Hollywood TV shows and films, the interior of the Encino home was also used in the film.

Who could forget the kiss between Cher and her ex-stepbrother Josh Lucas (Paul Rudd) on the lavish staircase in the ornate foyer, or Cher attempting to bake cookies in the gourmet-style kitchen.

The property, which last sold for $US680,000 ($1 million) in 1980, according to Realtor, contains seven bedrooms and 10 bathrooms, and is set on a 0.8 hectare lot.

Over on the other side of town is Dionne’s home, which has five bedrooms, nine bathrooms, a wine room and gym.

Built in 1930, the estate last sold for $US10.95 million ($16.2 million) in 2008, according to Realtor.

The home, which was previously listed by Sotheby’s International Realty, is opulent and has French-style influences.

Interiors feature upholstered walls, wood paneling, French windows, beamed ceilings and plush carpet.

Since its 1995 release, Clueless is the film that many millennials have on repeat.

A teen comedy, the movie follows the privileged life of Cher and her pals as they navigate relationships, dating and adolescence in upper-crust LA.
