A luxurious Los Angeles estate once home to former Hollywood power couple Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner has sold for well over its $9.5 million asking price, and it took just seven days to seal the deal.
Located in the exclusive Brentwood neighborhood, the Mediterranean-style property sparked multiple offers within a week of hitting the market, according to real estate insiders.
The home comes with serious celebrity cachet. Garner reportedly bought the property in 2004 for $5.5 million, with Affleck moving in after the two married in 2005. The couple lived there for four years before selling it in 2009 to a financial expert and his wife.
And the A-list connections don’t stop there.
The estate has reportedly been linked to other big names, including supermodel Cindy Crawford and her husband Rande Gerber. It also served as the backdrop for the 2017 romantic comedy Home Again, starring Reese Witherspoon, as reported by Mansion Global.
A Timeless Classic With Modern Allure
Built in 1929, the four-bedroom, five-bathroom home blends old-world charm with contemporary elegance. Situated on a sprawling 0.74-acre lot, the estate offers 4,151 square feet of living space, plenty of room for entertaining and relaxing in Hollywood style.
Hidden behind a tall hedge and rustic wooden gate, the home opens to a gravel driveway leading to a spacious motor court and carport with elegant beamed ceilings and French doors.
A courtyard with a central fountain welcomes guests to the front of the house, featuring a charming stone and gravel pathway.
Warm Interiors and Natural Light
Inside, visitors are greeted by a sunken living room with original red terracotta floors, beamed ceilings, and a cozy wood-burning fireplace.
“The sunken living room boasts red terracotta floors, beamed ceilings and a wood-burning fireplace,” the listing described.
Natural light floods the space thanks to a floor-to-ceiling window that looks out over the lush backyard and shimmering pool. Decorative touches like sconce lighting, greenery, and wall art complete the inviting space.
The dining room continues the warm aesthetic, featuring terracotta floors, several windows, and double doors that open onto the outdoor entertaining area.
“The dining room features a circular table and windows looking into the backyard,” the listing notes.
A round wooden table under a medieval-style light fixture seats up to seven guests, and a cozy seating nook adds charm just off the main space.
Seamless Indoor-Outdoor Living
A relaxed family room sits elsewhere in the home, offering hardwood flooring, oversized windows, and a dramatic floor-to-ceiling sliding glass door that blurs the line between indoor comfort and outdoor tranquility.
“The family room features wooden floors and a floor-to-ceiling sliding door,” according to the listing.
White armchairs and a plush sectional sofa face a large flat-screen TV, creating an ideal spot for casual gatherings or family movie nights.
Luxurious Primary Suite with Garden Access
The primary bedroom is a standout feature, boasting a dramatic wood-paneled cathedral ceiling, generous windows, and a wood-burning fireplace.
“The primary bedroom features a wood-burning fireplace and access to the yard,” the listing states.
The room is anchored by a large bed atop hardwood floors and a massive area rug. A wall-length mirror adds a touch of elegance, while double doors open directly to the manicured backyard.
Outdoor Spaces Designed for Entertaining
As impressive as the interior may be, the home’s outdoor features are equally enchanting.
The backyard offers several distinct areas for entertaining, including a sprawling outdoor dining space on a brick patio surrounded by mature hedges and lawn.
“The backyard features an outdoor dining area with a wood-burning fireplace,” according to the listing.
A 12-seat dining table sits just steps from a stone fireplace flanked by two built-in benches, the perfect setting for cozy gatherings on chilly California evenings.
Poolside Perfection
The home’s swimming pool is tucked into a grassy section of the backyard, offering a tranquil spot for sunbathing or unwinding.
“The pool is surrounded by grass on all sides,” the listing confirms.
Just off the living room is a secondary outdoor seating area, perched on a raised brick porch with views of the backyard. Nearby, another intimate space features one couch and two armchairs, not far from the carport and driveway.
“The outdoor seating area can be accessed through the living room,” the listing adds.
With its blend of vintage charm, celebrity provenance, and stunning outdoor amenities, it’s no wonder this Brentwood gem drew a flurry of offers and quickly sold above asking.
