WILL Smith gave Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air fans a rare glimpse inside the famous mansion that was the center of the hit 90’s sitcom. 

To celebrate the show’s 30th anniversary, the rapper and actor worked with the home’s current owners to list the property to the public on Airbnb

The 52-year-old West Philadelphia native and his close pal, DJ Jazzy Jeff - who played Will’s best friend on the series - arrived at the house together. 

Will went on to film an intimate look at the home for a YouTube video uploaded on Monday. 

While the home’s exterior was used for Fresh Prince - including the iconic theme song - the inside scenes were filmed on a set and therefore, redone this year to fit the Airbnb theme. 

To honor the show, hip-hop inspired murals were painted on the wall, as well as an entire space dedicated to Air Jordan sneakers. 

The wardrobe is also filled with the limited-edition 30-piece clothing line that was created for the special anniversary. 

"It has beautiful nostalgic value," the Hitch star said at the house. 

After he marveled at the home’s exterior, Will proceeded to walk fans throughout the rooms inside.

He also posed up a storm with his friend in the massive pool in the backyard. 

Fans were treated even further as he was joined by some of his prior co-stars.

Joseph Marcell, who played Geoffrey the Butler, Karyn Parsons, who starred as Hilary Banks, Daphne Maxwell Reid, who was Vivian Banks, and Tatyana Ali - who made Ashley Banks come to life - all came to the manor. 

The group hugged each other as they reunited before being giving a tour by the Fresh Prince himself. 

James Avery - who played beloved family patriarch Philip Banks - was honored with a framed painting after he tragically passed away in 2013. 

Guests of the Airbnb, located in California, will still be able to enjoy themed rooms inside the mansion.

Staying in the west wing of the house, it includes a bedroom with a king-size bed, as well as access to the main living room, dining room and huge swimming pool outside.

Guests will be virtually welcomed by Jazzy Jeff, who works as a DJ, as well as a ‘socially distanced concierge’.

According to the Airbnb listing, the lucky people who stay will also be able to "shoot some b-ball in the bedroom," dress up with the clothes as well as have all meals provided.

The property costs just $30 a night with five nights available - October 2, October 5, October 8, October 11 and October 14.

Groups can request to book the Airbnb from September 29.
