In 1975, the property sold for less than $100,000. Today, it is worth nearly $1.1 million, and after 50 years of memories made within its walls, it has become a crime scene.The Catalina Foothills home in Tucson, Arizona, is the house where “Today” anchor Savannah Guthrie spent her childhood.It is also the last place her 84-year-old mother, Nancy, was seen before she was taken, and the details of the property itself tell a story that is hard to ignore.Where It All BegaSavannah was born in Melbourne, Australia, in 1971, where her father’s work had taken the family. When they relocated to the U.S. in 1975, she was just a toddler. Her parents chose Tucson — and this house — and that was that.
The one-story home became the setting for everything: Sunday services at Casas Adobes Baptist Church, kite-flying afternoons with her father, and the kind of rooted, unhurried family life Savannah still speaks about with pride.She would go on to attend the University of Arizona before becoming one of America’s most recognizable TV anchors. But the Catalina Foothills home always remained her starting point and Nancy never left it.The Property by the NumbeOriginally built in 1969, the home sits on a full acre of arid Sonoran Desert land in the Catalina Foothills neighborhood. It measures 3,776 square feet, with five bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms.The Guthrie family paid $85,000 for it. According to current property records, it is now valued at close to $1.1 million — a figure that reflects both the home’s size and the exclusivity of its surroundings.
