Actor Lily Collins, known for her role in 'Emily in Paris,' has offloaded her Pasadena Case Study House for a hefty $6 million.
Lily Collins Sells Midcentury Modern Home in Pasadena for $6.13 Million
Actress Lily Collins has sold her midcentury modern home in Pasadena, California, for a sum above $6.2 million. The exact buyer's identity has not been publicly reported.
Originally purchased by Collins for $3.9 million from Kristen Wiig in early 2021, the property is a detached one-bedroom, one-bath guesthouse, adding to its unique charm. The main house offers three bedrooms and an equal number of baths in roughly 3,400 square feet.
Designed in the 1940s by Kemper Nomland and Kemper Nomland Jr., the home, known as Case Study House #10, is a significant architectural piece. It is included on the National Register of Historic Places and features three levels of "mid-century California meets Scandinavian" living space.
The redwood-sided structure boasts a backyard with a pool, raised spa, multiple patios, and a garden inspired by the work of Piet Oudolf. The sale was an all-cash, off-market deal.
The listing for the property was held by Ted Clark and Heather Lillard of Compass. However, the listing for Collins's previous home, a John Elgin Woolf-designed mansion in Beverly Hills, was not mentioned in the article.
It is worth noting that Collins and her director husband, Charlie McDowell, reportedly own a couple of homes in Copenhagen, Denmark, but the details about these properties were not provided in the article.
The new owner of the Pasadena residence is yet to be named. The home is located in a sought-after neighborhood pocket of Pasadena, near Meryl Streep, Grimes, and Oscar De La Hoya.

The sale of Lily Collins's midcentury modern home in Pasadena, California, was an all-cash, off-market deal, suggesting a potential high-profile real-estate investor in the entertainment industry. The new owner could be deliberate in maintaining their identity private, as occurred with the buyer of Collins's previous residence.
Investing in real-estate, particularly midcentury modern properties that hold historical significance like Case Study House #10, can be attractive to celebrities seeking unique dwellings, thereby expanding their portfolio in the realm of finance and architecture.
