What Happened To Julia Child House?

That well used kitchen, known to so many from the cooking shows that were taped there, was described by Julia as “the most loved and most used room in the house.” Child retired to California for the last few years of her life and the house was sold.

As I watched yet another ad for the new movie Julie and Julia I figured it was time to write a quick post about Julia Child, or more specifically about Julia Child’s house at 103 Irving Street in Cambridge. Julia Child and her husband Paul moved into this large Cambridge Victorian in 1961.

One of the greatest personalities in the culinary and TV world Julia Child had a net worth of $50 million when she died in 2004. So how did the greatest celebrity chefs in history amass such a vast fortune?

Fans of Julia Child are no doubt salivating over the news that the home where the legendary chef whipped up many of her most famous recipes is now for sale for $3.5 million. That’s a lot of clams!
