IT was her dream home. In 2020, Julia Roberts dropped $8.3 million on a historic Edwardian-style home in the tony Presidio Heights neighborhood of San Francisco. Built in 1907, the 6,315-square-foot house features five bedrooms and four baths — plenty of room for the star, her husband, Danny Moder, and their three kids — and a view of the Golden Gate Bridge. An insider tells Star, “Julia was passionate about renovating the house and moving the family there.”
Her husband? Not so much. Sources tell Star the cinematographer resisted relocating, preferring to stay in L.A., and the move caused tension in the couple’s 21-year marriage. In mid-October, the couple put the house on the market — where it quickly sold for $11.75 million — leading some to suspect it was a last-ditch effort by Julia, 56, to save her marriage. “Buying the San Francisco house was all Julia’s idea,” says the insider. “She overruled Danny’s objections and ran with it.”
