A Connecticut estate owned by the late actress Mary Tyler Moore has been listed for $21.9 million.
Built in 1900, the five-bedroom, seven-and-a-half-bath Georgian Colonial sits on more than seven acres in Greenwich, according to real estate agent Joseph Barbieri of Sotheby’s Realty.
The Mary Tyler Moore Show actress and her husband, Dr. Robert Levine, bought the home in 2006 for $10 million, the Wall Street Journal reported.
While living there, the couple expanded and renovated the now 13,825-square-foot home, which features a glass sunroom, an elevator, a gym with spa facilities, a swimming pool and an outdoor fireplace.

“It was Mary’s rest room where she spent much of her life when she could no longer easily move around on her own,” Levine said of the conservatory, according to the Journal. “It was her special place.”

“It’s Mary’s house. When I say ‘What’s next?’ “I decided I had to leave the house,” Levine said of the “tremendously difficult” decision to sell, according to The Journal.
“It was so private and protected, yet so close to Greenwich Avenue. We couldn’t quite escape Manhattan.” [Mary] “I needed her help to window shop,” he said of an apartment in Manhattan and a farm in New York’s Hudson Valley before they bought the house in Connecticut.
Levine added that renovating and expanding the home from 7,500 square feet to nearly 14,000 square feet was not intended as a “return on investment.”

“It was built for Maria to fit her idea of the perfect place,” he said.
