This mid-century California home once owned by the late actor Ted Knight — who played vain anchorman Ted Baxter on “The Mary Tyler Moore Show” and Judge Elihu Smails in “Caddyshack” — has hit the market for $1.19 million.
The remodeled Los Angeles abode at 19811 Friar St. in the San Fernando Valley’s Woodland Hills area — separated from the heart of LA by the Santa Monica mountains — was designed by architect William Krisel.
Known as the architect who helped define California modernism, Krisel and his partner Dan Palmer designed more than 30,000 homes throughout Southern California, Krisel also designed the home where Elvis and Priscilla Presley honeymooned in Palm Springs.
Known as the House of Tomorrow, that gem of a residence, which is 4,700 square feet, sold for its full ask of $5.65 million last year.
The Woodland Hills home — in an area known as Corbin Palms, filled with modern, glass-walled homes that Krisel and Palmer also designed — is 1,770 square feet, and comes with four bedrooms and three baths.
Built in 1954, it features original vaulted ceilings. The backyard landscaping includes mature orange trees by the pool.
