No one would dare call Meryl Streep a follower, but the three-time Academy Award winner seems to have inadvertently copied Kristen Wiig, who just purchased Case Study House #10, by picking up another mid-century spread in Pasadena.Pasadena must be Hollywood’s best-kept secret, or it was until recently. The area is ripe with mid-century, architectural beauties just waiting for luxe updates.The actress’ new three-bedroom, three-bath pad boasts massive walls of windows, vaulted ceilings, and a grand living room with a soaring stone fireplace. The exceptionally designed post and beam sits on almost 2 acres of tree covered land, offering a pool as well as city and mountain views. A central courtyard at the entrance and charming garden pathways throughout further set the property apart.Architects Whitney Smith and Wayne Williams designed the 1959-built house. Streep, whose new movie The Post comes out this Friday, joins a short list of owners as the home has not changed hands since the 1960s. Variety first reported the sale.
