The Minneapolis residence that was used in the popular 1970 sitcom series "Mary Tyler Moore Show" has been listed for sale in the market with an asking price of $2.895 million.
The residence's surrounding was used for the outside shots of the popular TV show. Even though the show aired for seven years in the 70s, the house has made a mark for itself and present day tourists continue to stop by to see the house. The home has become more of a cultural landmark.
The home was last sold for $2.8 million in August 2007, which is not much less than the current asking price, reports ABC news.
The property is a 9,500 square-foot home which sits on 0.35 acres of land. The 3-story residence boasts of 7 bedrooms and 6.5 bathrooms. The home has undergone many face-lifts and repeated renovations. However, the essence and charm of the 1900 architecture has not yet faded away. The roof sports an asphalt finish. The home has forced air heating. The exterior is basically made of wood and a warm fireplace adorns the living room. Though the home has an eccentric old charm, the appliances in the house are quite modern. The residence also boasts of a center gourmet kitchen that opens up to a family room. The place also has garage parking to accommodate three cars, reports Zillow.
The "Mary Tyler Moore Show's" story revolved around Mary Richards, an independent, ambitious woman in her 30s. The sitcom is believed to be one of the best TV programs produced. The show was the first of its kind where a woman's individuality and strong character were highlighted.
The house was one the main features of the sitcom. Due to a fall-out with the owner of the Minneapolis house, the producer had to move the show's cast to an exquisite Cedar Riverside apartment which is now in an iniquitous neighborhood and is considered to be dangerous, reported "Entertainment Weekly".
