Mandy Moore Is Asking $6 Million for a Chicly Revamped Midcentury in Pasadena

Back in early 2017, after searching for the perfect family home for almost a year, Mandy Moore and her soon-to-be husband Taylor Goldsmith came across a midcentury-modern abode resting amid a Pasadena hilltop overlooking the Arroyo Seco. The couple—she a singer and actress probably best known for her role as the matriarch in This is Us , and he the frontman for folk-rock band Dawes—went on to dole out nearly $2.6 million for the 1950s residence and then enlisted a team of designers to give the place a full makeover. Now the chicly revamped digs have returned to the market, this time asking $6 million. The listing is held by Teresa Fuller and Jamie Bridgers of Compass.

“We fell in love with the views, the pool, the yard, basically the whole energy of the place,” Moore told Architectural Digest in a 2018 article. Though the Harold B. Zook-designed structure had mostly good bones, she added, an unfortuate redo in the 1990s had concealed its clean modern lines and classic midcentury flavor. “We wanted to recapture the home’s original spirit without delving into a slavish period restoration,” she said. “We tried to imagine what Zook would have done if he were designing it today.”

Working with the architect’s original drawings and a team that included contracting firm Bronstruction , architect Emily Farnham , interior designer Sarah Sherman Samuel , and landscapers from Terremoto , Moore oversaw a rebuild of the stepped cornice lining the roof that had been replaced with a “decidedly less elegant alternative.” She also restored and updated the original blonde brick walls, floors, and fireplace surround, along with a copper hood topping a fireplace that divides the living and dining areas.

Nestled within the Linda Vista neighborhood, high above the Rose Bowl Stadium and Annandale Golf Club, the white stucco and brick-accented dwelling sports three bedrooms and three baths in a little more than 3,550 square feet of living space infused with light through floor-to-ceiling walls of glass. There are sweeping views of the San Gabriel Mountains and Valley, along with brass-inlaid terrazzo floors, art walls, and designer lighting throughout.

A “showcase vestibule” serves as an entry into the open-plan layout. Among the highlights is a spacious living and dining area anchored by a massive stone fireplace topped with an eye-catching copper hood, plus a sky-lit kitchen outfitted with open shelving, a marble waterfall-edge island with seating for four, top-tier stainless appliances, a walk-in pantry, and a breakfast nook that opens to a patio and garden. There’s also a family room spotlighted by a custom terrazzo-clad bench incorporated into the fireplace.

Secluded down a hallway adorned with a library alcove, the attractive primary suite includes a built-in green velvet headboard and floating bedside shelves, as well as a spa-like bath equipped with dual white oak vanities, a deep soaking tub, and a glass-encased shower. Sliding glass doors spill out to the grounds, which span just over 1.4 acres and host a pool with a Baja shelf and spa, a fire pit, and a pergola-shaded dining and kitchen area.

“It’s the end of an era,” Moore recently declared on her Instagram page . “Today, our home that we lovingly restored from the studs, is available for its next chapter and owner. It’s bittersweet as [Taylor] and I got engaged, married and brought home 2 babies here but I’m thrilled to see who she goes to next. It’s SUCH a special space.”

Best-known for her role as Rebecca Pearson on NBC’s award-winning This is Us , the Emmy- and Golden Globe-nominated actress has also appeared in films such as A Walk to Remember , Because I Said So , and 47 Meters Down . A singer and songwriter as well, Moore has released several musical tracks— Candy and I Wanna Be With You , among them. Coming up, look for her to appear on the next season of HGTV’s home-transformation series Celebrity IOU , starring Property Brothers Drew and Jonathan Scott and making its debut in August.
