Over a decade after purchasing the mansion, Gwyneth Paltrow has put her LA home up for sale. According to listing agent Lea Porter, Gwyneth Paltrow’s home sale stemmed from the actress’s decision to downsize due to her 18-year-old son’s latest academic milestone — he is heading off to college. The sprawling estate, located in the exclusive Brentwood neighborhood of LA, has been home to Paltrow for over ten years. The Hollywood star purchased the original property with her ex-husband, Chris Martin, in 2012 for a whopping $9.95 million. However, according to the Wall Street Journal, Paltrow is selling the mansion for $29.99 million.
Built in 1950 and renovated in 2009, the 8,000 sq. ft home sits on two-thirds of an acre in Mandeville Canyon. The property boasts eight bedrooms, 11 bathrooms, and a one-bedroom apartment above the garage. Gwyneth Paltrow’s LA home also features stunning California architectural designs, lush gardens, and unparalleled privacy. The front hallway features French doors and a black-and-white tiled floor. Walking into the living room, guests are greeted by a cozy space. It boasts a bar, white panel walls, a wood-burning fireplace, and an endless seating place. The kitchen is incredibly luxurious, with floor-to-ceiling windows, a massive island, black tile floors, and high ceilings. The home also boasts a backyard with a deep pool and a guest house. The guest house comprises a game room, a movie theater, a temperature-controlled wine cellar, a gym, and an office. Overall, the mansion epitomizes California’s luxury living.
Gwyneth Paltrow’s home sale comes amid news that her son, Moses, is heading to college. In the past, the actress has opened up about the anxiety she feels about becoming an empty nester. “It’s kind of giving me a nervous breakdown if I’m honest,” she said at her event for her wellness brand Goop per The Hollywood Reporter. “I started being like: ‘Oh my God and I need to quit my job and I need to sell my house and I need to move.'” Paltrow concluded, “It’s sort of putting things into turmoil.“ Overall, Paltrow revealed she drew comfort from the fact that she and her group of mom friends were in it together. Fans hope Paltrow eases into her new life as an empty nester while also making beautiful memories with her family.
