In 2020, Mandy Moore and her musician husband Taylor Goldsmith bought their dream home in Altadena, California, as a family of two, hiring a team to begin renovating the romantic Spanish Colonial Revival property and update its 1930s charm. In 2023, as a family of four, with another baby on the way, they moved in and began living their new life in Altadena’s enclave of historic architecture, mountain views and small-town charm.
Now, as a family of five, they are rebuilding the home they love after it was nearly irreparably damaged in the devastating Los Angeles wildfires last year. Moore charts their journey in the March 2026 issue of Architectural Digest, dedicated to Los Angeles.
The long process process is still ongoing. Their main house has been completed once again, while Goldsmith’s backyard music studio and an additional guesthouse are still under construction. (Goldsmith is the frontman of the LA folk rock band Dawes). Many of the rooms are decorated with a blend of earthy tones and decor with 1970s flare, such as curvilinear furniture, olive green accents and checkerboard rug in their living room, while their children’s rooms provide a sense of gentle escapism, like their sons’ dreamy sky-blue room with built-in bunk beds.
