The Greenwich, Connecticut, estate that served as the home of late TV legend Mary Tyler Moore has been swooped up after being listed about one-and-a-half years ago.
The waterfront property was first listed in September 2023 for $22 million, but the buyer, represented by Helene Barre and Fran Ehrlich of Sotheby’s International Realty–Greenwich Brokerage, paid a reduced $16.9 million, its most recent asking price. Joseph Barbieri at the same brokerage represented the seller, Moore’s husband, Dr. S. Robert Levine.
“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.”

Moore and Levine snapped up the Georgian Colonial in 2006 for about $10 million, and the five-bedroom, nine-bath abode includes almost 14,000 square feet of interior space and sits on an impressive seven acres of land. While the home was originally built more than a century ago, the couple worked with architect Stephen Wang to update the home. Standout details include a double-height solarium with stained glass sourced from various churches and synagogues, a laundry room with a built-in dog shower and grooming station, and a decked-out gym and spa.
Elsewhere, you’ll find a foyer with harlequin-patterned floors and a wood-paneled billiards room and library with built-ins. The primary suite—all 2,000 square feet of it—includes both dual bathrooms and walk-in closets.

Across the expansive grounds, landscaped by Janice Parker, you’ll find a host of amenities to boot. A guest apartment sits above the three-car garage, and the 65-foot pool comes with its own fireplace. Plus, there’s a pond and five acres of conservation land.
Moore, the iconic actress known for starring in her eponymous sitcom, died in 2017 at the age of 80 after contracting pneumonia, according to The New York Times. She married Levine in 1983, and the two split their time between Greenwich and Manhattan. When Levine decided to sell the Connecticut estate in 2023, he told The Wall Street Journal that doing so was part of his process of moving on. Back then, he added that a portion of the proceeds from the sale would go toward the Mary Tyler Moore Vision Initiative, a nonprofit that works to advance research for restoring and preserving vision in people with diabetes.
