Gwyneth Paltrow LA Home Sells To Secret Buyer

Around seven months after it first hit the market for nearly $30 million and subsequently underwent a price chop, Gwyneth Paltrow’s longtime Los Angeles home in the Lower Mandeville Canyon area of Brentwood has sold to an unidentified buyer for $22 million.

And though that’s considerably less than she originally wanted, it’s still a whopping $12 million more than the Goop CEO and her now ex-husband, Chris Martin of Coldplay fame, paid for the 1950s spread almost 13 years ago, back in spring 2012.

Since then, the Oscar-winning actress and lifestyle guru has extensively renovated and expanded the premises with a one-bedroom guesthouse sporting a climate-controlled wine cellar, plus an office, a gym, a game room, and a movie theater. An apartment also rests atop the detached two-car garage.

Resting amid a parcel spanning roughly two-thirds of an acre and described in marketing materials as “Southern Transitional,” the Windsor Smith-designed abode offers eight bedrooms and 11 baths in almost 13,000 square feet of single-level living space boasting reclaimed wood floors and patterned stonework throughout.

Among the highlights is a spacious living room with French doors spilling out to a backyard holding a plunge pool, as well as a bookshelf-lined family room. The gourmet kitchen is outfitted with an eat-in island, a breakfast nook, double cooktops and ranges, and a wood-burning oven, while a secluded primary wing has dual bedrooms and baths.
