American Actor, Rob Lowe who recently appeared in 9-1-1: Lone Star and his wife, jewellery designer Sheryl Lowe, have sold their former home in Montecito California for a very cool $45.5 million.
The East Coast-style estate in the affluent star-studded enclave of Montecito, where celebrities including Oprah Winfrey and Ellen DeGeneres have invested, is one of the priciest ever to close in the area.
It’s reported that the buyers are retired health-care private-equity executive Jack McGinley and his wife Julie. In August, the McGinleys put their sizable 10-acre Massachusetts estate on the market for $18.9 million, The Wall Street Journal reported. At the time, they said they were planning to spend more time in California.
The roughly 10,000-square-foot house was inspired by the architecture of the Virginia countryside, where Mr. Lowe, from Charlottesville Virginia, spent time as a child.
The luxe abode boasts six bedrooms, formal living and dining areas, a home office, a screening room, a wine cellar and many terraces. There is also a piano bar, where Mr Lowe, who has appeared in "The West Wing," has been known to sing.
The property was built by the Lowes, who purchased the land in 2005, and then had the home constructed.
The expansive pile also includes a guesthouse, a reflecting pool, a koi pond, beautiful rose and vegetable gardens, a swimming pool, a fire pit and a tennis court.
Mr. Lowe has recently appeared in the television shows "9-1-1: Lone Star" and "Parks and Recreation."
