<p id=”par-1_53″>Edward Herrmann, the actor who portrayed Richard Gilmore on <em><a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/tag/gilmore-girls/”>Gilmore Girls</a></em>, died in 2014, but the home he loved so much was just sold by his widow nearly a decade after his passing. The <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/gilmore-girls-edward-herrmann-lived-small-connecticut-town-like-stars-hollow.html/”>sprawling Connecticut compound</a> Herrmann called home was listed for sale in December 2023, but the final sale just went through. </p>

<p id=”par-3_78″>While the home languished on the market for several months, it has officially been sold. The house was initially listed for $2.7 million. The price was slashed in February to $2.4 million. Still, the lowered price wasn’t enough to entice a new owner, but clearly, there was some room to negotiate. According to <a target=”_blank” href=”https://www.ctinsider.com/realestate/article/gilmore-girls-salisbury-real-estate-sold-herrmann-19362943.php” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>CT Insider</a>, the new owner agreed to pay Herrmann’s estate $1.9 million for the property. It is unclear what the new owner plans for the home. </p>
<h2 class=”wp-block-heading” id=”h-edward-herrmann-reportedly-loved-his-connecticut-estate-nbsp”>Edward Herrmann reportedly loved his Connecticut estate </h2>
<p id=”par-4_33″>Herrmann’s widow, <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/gilmore-girls-actor-edward-herrmann-net-worth-time-death.html/”>Star Herrmann,</a> kept the house in the family following her husband’s 2014 death. It is unclear if Star continued to live in the home or if she merely held onto it. </p>
<p id=”par-5_48″>If she did continue to live in the house, it’s completely understandable. Salisbury, Connecticut, has the same cozy, small-town vibe of Stars Hollow. The town of 3,000 is quaint and quirky and has small businesses that could easily be swapped out for Stars Hollow’s beloved stores and eateries. </p>

‘Gilmore Girls’ Star Edward Herrmann’s Connecticut Estate Is for Sale 9 Years After His Death </a>
</p>
</div>
<p id=”par-6_75″>According to several sources, Herrmann loved being home in Connecticut so much that he ensured he held a guest role on <em>Gilmore Girls </em>instead of being a main cast member. Valerie Campbell, the key set costumer on <em>Gilmore Girls</em>, once explained that Herrmann <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/jared-padaleckis-gilmore-girls-contract-made-it-easy-for-him-to-leave-the-show.html/”>remained a guest star</a> because it gave him more flexibility to spend time back home on the East Coast while still working on the show. <em>Gilmore Girls</em> was filmed on a Warner Bros. lot in Burbank, California. </p>
<p id=”par-7_33″>Herrmann purchased the property in 1996 for $650,000. <em>Gilmore Girls</em> premiered in 2000 and was canceled in 2007. Following the end of the series, Herrmann returned to Connecticut to spend more time with his family. </p>
