Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck have given a glimpse of their extravagant $60 million mansion in Los Angeles, which they snagged for $15 million less than the original asking price. The sprawling estate, known as the ‘Wallingford estate,’ covers 46,000 square feet, sits on a 5-acre promontory, and features an impressive 12 bedrooms and 24 bathrooms.
Their real estate deal made headlines as they managed to secure the property for considerably less than the initial $75 million asking price within just one week. The mansion initially hit the market in 2018 for a staggering $135 million but underwent extensive renovations and expansions before capturing the couple’s attention.
The mansion offers a multitude of amenities, including a 12-car garage, space for up to 80 vehicles, and a unique indoor sports complex. This sports haven includes a fully equipped gym, basketball courts, pickleball courts, and even a boxing ring. Additionally, there’s a sports lounge and a bar, catering to their active lifestyle.
Beyond the fitness facilities, the estate also boasts a hair and nail salon, a home theater, a wine cellar, a whiskey lounge, and sauna and massage rooms for ultimate relaxation. The zero-edge pool at the rear of the main house provides stunning views of the surroundings, creating a serene oasis.
The property ensures utmost privacy and security with its two private, gated entrances. Their real estate transaction was brokered by Brett Lawyer, who has worked with other A-listers like Katy Perry and Madonna.
The process of settling into their new mansion involved a significant influx of furnishings and decor. Several vehicles were seen parked outside the entrance as rugs, flowers, and various furnishings were carefully unloaded and laid out on tarps. A substantial white moving truck was also on-site to assist with the process.
JLO and Ben explored multiple properties over the past year before making their final selection, including a $64 million mansion in Pacific Palisades and a $34.5 million property in the Pacific Palisades. This search comes after Jennifer listed her Bel Air property for an impressive $42 million, potentially making a significant profit compared to her 2016 purchase price of $28 million.
While searching for their dream home, they temporarily resided in Australian billionaire James Packer’s $60 million Beverly Hills mansion.
