Salisbury Home Of Late 'Gilmore Girls' Actor On The Market For $2.7M

SALISBURY, CT — The Salisbury home of the late "Gilmore Girls" actor Edward Herrmann has hit the market for $2.7 million, according to the William Pitt Sotheby's International Realty listings.

The home is situated on over eight acres of property, and bordered by conserved land, making it "a rare blend of true privacy and convenience to town," according to the listing. The six-bedroom 6,647-square-foot Contemporary at 63 Main Street in Salisbury was built in 1958, and boasts a separate two-story climate controlled guest house.

The listing suggests the actor's "sprawling" residence would be "suitable for an automobile collector, artist studio, workshop, etc. while the upper level is a well-designed two bedroom guest apartment."

According to high-end home website Mansion Global, the spread's formal living room and den are each outfitted with a fireplace, and the property also includes a well-appointed library with an adjacent reading room.

Before achieving pop culture notoriety playing family patriarch Richard Gilmore from 2000-2007 in "Gilmore Girls," Hermann was best known for his portrayal of President Franklin D. Roosevelt in both the 1976 TV miniseries "Eleanor and Franklin" and the 1982 film musical "Annie." The Tony and Emmy Award-winning actor and voice-over artist whose career spanned nearly four decades can also be seen in "Overboard" (1987), "Lost Boys" (1987), and "Nixon" (1995).

Hermann died in 2014, at the age of 71, and the property has been in the care of his wife, Star. The couple purchased the home in 1996 for $650,000, according to Mansion Global.
