Brentwood, Los Angeles – A historic 1929 Mediterranean-style estate has gone under contract just seven days after being listed for $9.5 million. The residence, known for its iconic design and glamorous former inhabitants, is situated in the prestigious North Tigertail Road neighborhood, which is highly sought after by luxury home buyers.
The home features an expansive layout of 4,000 square feet and includes four bedrooms. It boasts a central flagstone courtyard that is highlighted by an elegant fountain, alongside a sweeping arched loggia that lends to the property’s architectural charm. Key interior spaces encompass a skylit great room, a sunken living room, and a spacious sunroom that seamlessly opens to a tiled patio, enhancing the home’s connection to the outdoors. An inviting wood-burning fireplace serves as a focal point in the living area, adding a cozy ambiance.
Inside, the estate showcases a muted Mediterranean color palette complemented by various distinctive architectural details. Flooring throughout the home features a mix of Saltillo tile, dusty pink flagstone, and wide-plank wood, creating a warm and inviting environment. Rust-orange window frames and hand-carved wood accents further accentuate the home’s character, while beamed white ceilings provide an added level of sophistication and balance.
This particular estate has a rich history, having been owned by notable personalities including supermodel Cindy Crawford, actress Jennifer Garner, and Oscar-winning actor Ben Affleck. Jennifer Garner purchased the property in 2004 for $5.5 million and later sold it in 2009 to a financial executive and his wife after sharing the home with Ben Affleck following their marriage in 2005. The previous owners acquired the estate in 2013 for $7.325 million. The identities of the current sellers and the pending buyers remain undisclosed as the property enters escrow.
In addition to its luxury amenities, the estate also earned its place in pop culture, serving as a filming location for the 2017 romantic comedy “Home Again,” starring Reese Witherspoon. The combination of its architectural beauty, celebrity history, and coveted location has contributed to the swift interest and sale of the home.
The listing for the property was managed by agent Steve Frankel of Coldwell Banker Realty. The rapid success of the sale reflects the ongoing demand for luxury properties in Brentwood, indicative of the area’s allure for affluent buyers seeking both style and a prestigious address.
