Mary Tyler Moore's Former Greenwich Home Sold For $16.9M

GREENWICH, CT — The former Greenwich estate of acclaimed television sitcom actress Mary Tyler Moore recently sold for nearly $17 million, according to a real estate company.

Sotheby's International Realty announced Tuesday the estate, located at 50 Dingletown Road, has sold for $16.9 million, the most recent asking price.

Joseph Barbieri of Sotheby’s International Realty – Greenwich Brokerage represented the seller and Helene Barre and Fran Ehrlich, also of the Greenwich brokerage, represented the buyer.

"It was an honor to represent this remarkable property, once home to a beloved TV icon," Barbieri said in a statement. "I am pleased with the successful outcome of the sale."

Located up a long, gated drive, the Georgian colonial home is 13,825 square feet and sits on 7.37 acres of private, sweeping grounds surrounded by 5 acres of conservation land with a view of Oakley Pond.

There are five bedrooms, seven bathrooms, and two partial bathrooms, according to the listing description from Sotheby’s International Realty – Greenwich Brokerage.

The floor plan was designed by architect Stephen Wang, and features a 2,000-plus square foot primary suite with dual baths, dressing rooms and generous closets.

There is a separate one-bedroom apartment with a kitchen and bath above a three-bay garage, the listing description says.

Amenities include a 23-by-23 glass conservatory; a gym with spa facilities including a jacuzzi, steam shower and sauna; an elevator; billiards room; and a 65-foot pool with an outdoor fireplace.

When the estate went up for sale in 2023, it was initially listed at $21.9 million.

Moore is best known for her roles as Laura Petrie, wife of Van Dyke's Rob Petrie, on the classic 1960's sitcom "The Dick Van Dyke Show."

She headlined her own sitcom a decade later as Mary Richards, the main character of the acclaimed 1970's James L. Brooks sitcom "The Mary Tyler Moore Show," which also featured Valerie Harper, Ed Asner, Cloris Leachman and Ted Knight in supporting roles.

Moore died in Greenwich in 2017. She was 80 years old.

According to the Wall Street Journal, Moore and her husband, Dr. S. Robert Levine, bought the estate for around $10 million in 2006. They spent about three years renovating the house, the WSJ said.

The solarium was a place where Moore would sit in her final years, the WSJ reported. Some of the room's stained glass art pieces were salvaged from old churches and synagogues.

Levine, who said the home was "Mary's house," noted the decision to sell was difficult, but it was time for him to step away.
