Former California home of late ‘Mary Tyler Moore’ star Ted Knight sells for $1.2 million
A Woodland Hills midcentury-modern home once owned by late comedic actor Ted Knight has sold for $1.205 million.
The home listed for $1.199 million in September.
Noted architect William Krisel designed the 1,770-square-foot house. Completed in 1954 and remodeled by the seller, it has four bedrooms, three bathrooms and original vaulted ceilings with north and south-facing clerestory windows.
There’s also a one-bedroom, one-bathroom guest house with a kitchenette.
A pool graces the backyard.
Records show the seller’s family bought the house in September 1977 for $33,000, shortly after Knight’s tenure there.
Knight, most famous for his roles on television in “The Mary Tyler Moore Show” and “Too Close for Comfort,” as well as in the comedy sports movie “Caddyshack,” owned the property with his wife, Dorothy, from 1966 to 1973. That’s according to listing agent Gina Isaac of Nourmand & Associates, who sought the information from the title representative.
Southern California News Group could not find records linking the property to Knight, whose real name was Theodore C. Konopka. He died in August 1986 at age 62. However, Isaac says a 1967 building permit bears the actor’s stage name.
