Kristen Wiig is offering buyers another opportunity to acquire her 1960s Pasadena home, having reduced the asking price to just under $6 million. This comes only a month after the property was first listed. The well-known comedian and actress had purchased the home for $5.5 million in February and put it back on the market in May, then with an asking price of nearly $6.3 million, before the most recent price adjustment.
Designed by the renowned architectural firm Ainsworth, Angel & McClellan, the estate is considered an outstanding example of Californian Modernism in Pasadena, influenced by Japanese design. It is located in the sought-after San Rafael district of Pasadena and combines elements of Californian Modernism with Japanese design principles.
Property details and features
Lush, mature landscaping envelops the entire estate. This begins with a suspension bridge leading to the main entrance and extends to winding garden paths that lead to outdoor entertaining areas, including a swimming pool and spa. Inside, the 5,559 square foot house offers four bedrooms and six bathrooms. The master suite features a large skylight, a sitting area, and a spa bathroom.

The design is characterised by extensive redwood panelling, smooth plastered walls, expansive glass frontages, travertine surfaces, and custom carpentry. In addition to the main residence, the property includes completely self-contained guest accommodation. This features its own living room, dining area, kitchen, and a spacious bedroom.
Reasons for the swift resale
Although Kristen Wiig has not publicly stated why she wishes to part with the property so quickly, the timing suggests that the purchase may have originally been intended as a short-term investment. After being offered for nearly $6.3 million just a few months after its acquisition for $5.5 million, the recent price reduction indicates that this strategy has not been successful so far. Even if this Pasadena residence changes hands, Wiig will not be moving far, as her primary residence is only a short distance away.
