Ben Affleck has closed escrow on a five-bedroom, six-bathroom home in Brentwood for $20.5 million, according to Architectural Digest.
Enveloped in nature, the 6,247-square-foot home is set on two-thirds of an acre in an “ultra-exclusive enclave” of Sullivan Canyon, according to the listing.
“Through the walled and gated entrance, you’re met with lush, landscaped gardens and grounds that whisk you away to the pages of a storybook,” the listing read.
The home, built in 1941, was renovated in 2010. The original home was designed by architect Cliff May, and later reimagined by architect Steve Giannetti with interior design by Kelly Harmon.
The main house boasts an open floor plan with “soaring” wood-beamed ceilings and garden views all throughout. As guests ascend the stairs, they are met with an office with a fireplace.
The “serene” primary suite features a fireplace, steel windows and doors that allow access to the gardens.
As an equestrian estate, the grounds are complete with stables, a walking ring and tack room. Additional amenities include a pool, spa and two-story guest house.
The home is “conveniently close” to Brentwood Country Mart, both Riviera and Brentwood Country Clubs, and Sunset Boulevard. The listing described the home as “the epitome of a garden retreat in an ultimate private and luxurious setting.”
Affleck is an Academy Award-winning actor and filmmaker who has appeared in more than 50 films, including “Good Will Hunting,” “Armageddon” and “Pearl Harbor.” He has also taken on the role of Batman in the DC Extended Universe.
The actor has previously called Pacific Palisades home—which is a stone’s throw from his new home.
