See Kristen Wiig’s Charming New $4.9M Pasadena House
Kristen Wiig has swapped one historic Pasadena house for another, according to Dirt. The SNL alumni, actress, comedian, screenwriter and producer — who’s set to star opposite Carol Burnett in the upcoming Apple-scripted comedy series “Mrs. American Pie” — has bought a striking 4,000-square-foot Federal-style estate. It’s only a few blocks from her former Pasadena home — which she recently sold to fellow actress Lily Collins. Kristen’s property lies on a picturesque street in a sought-after neighborhood pocket, where nearby neighbors include Meryl Streep, Grimes and Oscar De La Hoya.

The three-bedroom, four-bathroom house is a traditional beauty with a red-brick exterior. Originally built in 1930, it was given a complete contemporary overhaul by the previous owners in collaboration with architect Kevin Oreck and interior designer Deborah Rhein. The formal living room sports a tiled fireplace and floor-to-ceiling bookshelves.
A breezeway leads to an updated gourmet kitchen.
The professional kitchen is outfitted with chef-grade appliances like this glossy black La Cornue range topped by a custom hood, and Sub-Zero refrigerator. The marble island works extra hard with built-in appliances and an overhang to accompany quick bites.
In this casual corner of the kitchen, French doors spill out to an al fresco patio ideal for dining and entertaining.
The formal dining room is updated with a cool ’60s-inspired chandelier, blonde wood floors and dark grey-frame windows.
An upstairs principal suite rests beneath a vaulted wood ceiling, and features a cosy duo of window seat alcoves and a balcony.
A dramatic tiled fireplace is a cosy focal point in the principal bedroom.
The bedroom patio overlooks the private grounds, the site of a pool with a tanning ledge and an adjacent cabana. The garage has been converted into an art room.
Outside, the backyard gives way to a quaint alfresco area and lounge, a large swimming pool, and manicured boxwood hedges.
An outdoor lounge is shaded by a pergola. The classic pool is ringed by mature trees for an oasis-like effect.
