American actor and filmmaker who played leading roles in action, drama, and comedy films but who was perhaps more renowned for his work as a screenwriter, director, and producer Ben Affleck bachelor pad is as impressive as they come. The actor just unloaded the Pacific Palisades mansion for $28.5 million — good for the third-highest sale in the neighborhood so far this year.
According to the Los Angeles Times, In just two months since it was first listed, Ben Affleck’s East Coast Traditional–Style Pacific Palisades mansion has officially sold. The closing price was $28.5 million, making the sale the third highest this year in the home’s prestigious Pacific Palisades neighborhood.
Records show Affleck bought the place for $19 million in 2018 following his divorce from Jennifer Garner. He since married Jennifer Lopez, and the pair are currently shopping for a bigger place on the Westside.
Not that this place is small; the traditional-style showplace spans more than 13,000 square feet with seven bedrooms, nine bathrooms, lavish living spaces and amenities such as a movie theater, wine cellar, full bar, gym and wellness room.
Asking price for the tri-level, 13,000-plus-square-foot bachelor pad was a whopping $29.995 million, roughly about $10 million more than the $19.95 million the actor and director paid for the pad back in 2018. Affleck bought the freshly-built manse following his divorce from Jennifer Garner and put it on the market right after his wedding to Jennifer Lopez this summer. No personal information about the buyer is available at this time, though records show they put an offer in on the home within weeks of the original listing.
Spanning half an acre across the street from Riviera Country Club, the property includes a leafy backyard made private by tall hedges and trees. A covered patio and second-story deck overlook the space, which includes a lawn, garden, guesthouse and swimming pool with a spa and waterslide.
The seven-bedroom, nine-bathroom house sits on a half acre of prime property across from the prestigious Riviera Country Club. Although the facade is inspired by traditional East Coast architecture, the home’s interior is thoroughly modern and facilitates a highly desirable indoor/outdoor lifestyle. Sliding glass doors in the family room open up to a covered patio furnished with a dining and lounging area that include a fireplace and television-centered lounge area. The backyard accommodates a large well-manicured lawn, a pool, and poolhouse, per Architectural Digest.
Appropriate for the father of three, a sleek grey water slide offers additional excitement to the pool area. Back inside, a temperature-controlled wine room provides a more sophisticated option for entertaining guests. Following the builder, Affleck was the first owner of the home which was completed in 2017.
Affleck and Lopez got married this summer following a whirlwind romance that was rekindled almost twenty years after their broken engagement. Per TMZ, the newlyweds have reportedly decided to settle down in Lopez’s Bel-Air compound once renovations are complete.
Affleck has been acting for four decades with notable roles in “Dazed and Confused,” “Chasing Amy,” “The Town,” “Gone Girl” and “The Last Duel.” The 50-year-old has won a pair of Academy Awards as well: one for original screenplay for 1997’s “Good Will Hunting” and one for best picture for 2012’s “Argo.”
He listed the home in August for $30 million and found a buyer less than a month later, according to the Multiple Listing Service.
Santiago Arana and Amir Mostame of the Agency held the listing. Lisa Kirshner Elkin of Compass represented the buyer, who remains unclear.
