Historic California property named 'Case Study House #22' changes hands, with actress Lily Collins serving as the latest owner.
Actress Lily Collins, known for her role in the Netflix rom-com "Emily in Paris," has sold her historic midcentury modern home located at 711 San Rafael Avenue, Pasadena, California. The sale exceeded the asking price in an off-market deal, fetching $6.13 million USD [1][2][3].
Built in 1947 as part of the prestigious Case Study House program, the 3,425-square-foot property features four bedrooms, classic midcentury architectural elements, an open-plan layout, a brick floor-to-ceiling fireplace, hardwood floors, and extensive use of wood and glass. The house sits on 0.37 acres and includes a pool deck with surrounding sycamore and eucalyptus trees, a covered patio, and a poolside bar.
Collins and her husband, Charlie McDowell, purchased the property in 2021 for $3.9 million USD and undertook a renovation with designer Emily Farnham while preserving its architectural integrity [1]. The sale was represented by Ted Clark and Heather Lillard of Compass for Collins, with William Baker of The Agency representing the buyer, an LLC owned by a local wealth manager [1][3].

Lily Collins, the actress from "Emily in Paris", might have used a portion of her earnings from the sale of her midcentury modern home to invest in personal finance or real-estate ventures, given that the sale of the property exceeded the asking price. The local wealth manager who purchased the house could potentially allocate some funds towards investing in the financial market.
