Apple TV+ is seriously setting the bar high when it comes to original content! Every program I’ve come across on the streaming platform has been excellent. I first got hooked on The Morning Show, then Truth Be Told and, most recently, For All Mankind, a 1960s/1970s-set series that focuses on an alternate reality in which Russia wins the space race and the United States struggles to keep up. I love anything having to do with NASA (The Astronaut Wives Club is another favorite). Add to that incredible set design and costumes and a fascinating premise and it is not hard to see how I became obsessed. I was also thrilled to discover while watching that, though set in Texas and Florida, the show was filmed entirely in Los Angeles, So I, of course, immediately began tracking down its locales. The first spot I set out to find was the supposed Houston home belonging to the Baldwin family – astronaut Ed (Joel Kinnaman), his wife, Karen (Shantel VanSanten, who bears an uncanny resemblance to Meghan Markle), and their son, Shane (played by both Teddy and Tait Blum).
Fortunately, an address number of “3345” was visible on the front of the Baldwin house in several scenes, which made IDing it a snap.
The huge front yard, abundance of foliage and traditional architecture led me to believe the property was most likely in Pasadena, so I began searching 3300 blocks there and quickly found the Baldwin pad at 3345 Lombardy Road in the desirable Chapman Woods neighborhood.
The sprawling one-story residence looks much the same in person as it did on For All Mankind.
Originally built in 1949, the dwelling has retained its mid-century look, making it a perfect fit for the series. Producers really did not have to do much to make it screen-ready.
Throw in a few period cars and, voila, they had themselves a very seemingly retro home.
The property’s massive backyard, which you can see images of here, was also featured on For All Mankind, in the second episode titled “He Built the Saturn V.”
Only the exterior of the house was utilized on the series. The inside of the Baldwin residence was a studio-built set. You can check out what the actual interior of the home looks like here. Though portions of it are a bit dated, it does not resemble the Baldwins’ place in the slightest.
In real life, the pad boasts 4 bedrooms, 3 baths, 2,844 square feet, a formal dining room, 3 fireplaces, French doors, bay windows, a plethora of built-ins, a 3-car garage, and a 1.29-acre lot with expansive lawns, a tennis court, and a large patio.
The Baldwin residence is currently for sale for a cool $2,688,000. Shockingly, the listing makes no mention whatsoever of the place’s recent small-screen role! I would think such a thing would only up the property’s value! If I was the agent, I’d have the information splayed across the sign in the yard! I mean “1+ acres” is great, but so is a film history and the income that comes along with it. Man, why do I always have to think of everything?

Until next time, Happy Stalking!
