House

Mary Tyler Moore has left an indelible mark on the television world. But the remarkably creative mind, herself, had a remarkably important house she not only called home but also drew inspiration and comfort from. Now, Moore's palatial Connecticut house is on the market for a whopping $21.9 million. The late Moore, who passed in 2017 at the age of 80, was born in Brooklyn, New York. But she would eventually move to Greenwich, Connecticut, planting roots during a formative and sometimes difficult part of her life. Now, a hopeful homeowner may call it their own and see firsthand the changes Moore made to the property.

The walls of Moore's house provided her with comfort Mary Tyler Moore's Connecticut house was very special to her and her husband / Everett Collection "The house is special to me because it is a house that Mary and I designed," Dr. Levine said, "with specific intention to make it welcoming, filled with natural light, open to the outside (so you feel a part of the natural surroundings), with intimate, purposeful spaces that offer comfort and a platform for display of her favorite things, including her many and diverse collections of objet d’art." One of Mary's most favorite rooms was the glass conservatory / YouTube screenshot He continued, "It is, unquestionably ‘Mary’s house’ well reflecting her classical design aesthetic and passion for detail and use of the finest materials and artisanal methods of construction."

The conservatory, in particular, earned a special shoutout. "It was Mary’s serenity room," said Levine, according to the Wall Street Journal, "and where she spent a good part of her life when she was no longer able to get around as easily on her own. That was her special place." Luxury meets accessibility / YouTube screenshot RELATED: ‘Being Mary’ Documentary Explores The Incredible Life And Story Of Mary Tyler Moore
