Darrin's Office at McMann & Tate

I Dream Of Jeannie filmed on This Set in a fantasy sequence where Tony Nelson gets a new job

Interesting to see the effect of the window being lit so differently.  Also, the long shot with Larry Hagman gives an idea of just how small the set probably was.

The Bewitched House











Hazel used the exterior set next door, so the Bewitched house could often be seen in their neighborhood:








The Partridge Family used the exterior set nearby so the Bewitched house could be seen in their neighborhood, but rarely. They seemed to put some effort into using angles and POV's that avoided the Stephens home, By 1970 it had become so recognizable,  and both shows were running at the same time on the same network.
