Only the exterior of the stone mansion was used in the show, while Mary’s actual apartment was a Hollywood set. It was meant to be behind the Palladian windows on the home’s third story. In real life, that space is a family room with a gas fireplace, built-ins and a beautiful view of the tree-lined street.
Mary Tyler Moore’s Minneapolis TV home The “Mary Tyler Moore Show” aired on CBS from 1970 to 1977, a forerunner for bringing some of society’s issues into American homes in an easy to digest comedic script. Mary played the lead as Mary Richards, a 30-yearold single woman whose top priority was not getting married, but establishing a career and getting the most out of her single lifestyle. Viewers remember the early 1900’s Victorian house in the opening title sequence where Mary was renting an upstairs apartment. “Entertainment Weekly” called it “TV’s most famous bachelorette pad.” Even though the house was given a fictitious address in the series, fans figured out the real address and it became a tourist destination with 30 tour buses a day long after the program ended. Fans were constantly knocking on the door looking for “Mary” and drove the woman who lived there to distraction. She finally hung a sign under Mary’s supposed apartment window that read “Impeach Nixon.” It didn’t work as intended and the house continued to draw as many onlookers as before. The home has been perfectly restored and updated. Within its 9,500 square feet are seven bedrooms, nine baths, multiple terraces and upper level decks, two family rooms, turret office, gym and sauna. Many Victorian features remain such as leaded-glass transoms, bayed rooms and ornate millwork. The lot is a third of an acre with a three-car garage with its own turret.
“Love is All Around” this Minneapolis house used for exterior shots on the “Mary Tyler Moore Show.” Listed at $1.695 million. Listing agents are Barry Berg and Chad Larsen with Berg Larsen Group of Coldwell Banker Burnet Real Estate.
Jane Fonda’s Beverly Hills Contemporary Two-time Oscar winner and actress extraordinaire, Jane Fonda is one of those rare versatile people who thrives and excels in all situations whether it be in the diverse homes she chooses or the roles she plays in film or in her personal life. From Vogue cover model, dance teacher, acclaimed Hollywood and Broadway actress and war protester to selling over 17 million exercise videos at age 79, Fonda shows no signs of slowing down. Jane has continued to make films and is currently co-starring with Lily Tomlin in the Netflix series “Grace and Frankie.” Jane has owned and lived in many beautiful homes over the years from her New Mexico ranch where she lived in jeans and cowboy boots to her sleek and sophisticated Beverly Hills home in the Trousdale Estates which she has recently put on the market at $12.995 million. Purchased in 2012 with long-time partner Richard Perry from TV director John Rich, Fonda said that she and Perry had looked at as many as 30 houses, but the moment she stepped onto this property, she knew it was the special one. In addition
to the home’s open layout and connection with the outdoors and stunning views, Fonda, having always been highly eco-conscious, was impressed with the photovoltaic electric panels, solar-heated pool, thermal glass doubleglazed UV windows and bamboo floors. The 7,100-square-foot home’s glass walls and elevator and multiple covered and open terraces create indoor/outdoor living spaces to enjoy sweeping canyon and ocean views. Though very sophisticated in its contemporary design, the home is warm and inviting with multiple spaces for entertaining. The residence includes the main level with its dining and living rooms, butler’s pantry and bar, office, and large chef’s kitchen with adjoining family room that opens to a terrace. The first floor houses the media room with a full bar, cork floors and a gym opening out to a pool terrace. The master suite includes large walkin closets and his-and-her baths with steam shower, soaking tub and heated floors. In addition to the outdoor viewing pavilion with fire pit, there is yet another special place - the meditation garden.
