Last summer, before they finally settled on a $61 million spread high in the mountains above Beverly Hills, Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck leased another 90210 residence. And perhaps unsurprisingly, that place has just popped up for sale with a whopping $85 million price tag, as first reported by The Wall Street Journal.
Originally built way back in the 1930s, the celeb-pedigreed pad also was home to Danny DeVito and Rhea Perlman for over two decades beginning in the early 1990s. The now-separated acting couple sold the house in 2015 for $28 million to local developers Stuart and Stephanie Liner, who subsequently undertook an extensive renovation of the premises. They then flipped the place three years later for $64 million to Australian billionaire James Packer, son of the late media mogul Kerry Packer.
Resting on over an acre of land, the gated compound is comprised of a main home and several additional structures—for a total of 12 bedrooms and 17 baths in nearly 25,000 square feet of living space. Posh amenities include an elevator, a movie theater, wet bar-equipped lounge/game room, wood-paneled wine cellar, cigar room, gym and sauna, and not one but two garages with parking for up to eight vehicles.
As for the primary dwelling, it’s highlighted by a living room boasting a fireplace and an adjoining office/den, plus a formal dining room that seats 12. A family room flaunting a recently spruced-up bar area connects to an elaborate marble-clad kitchen, which sports an eat-in island, top-tier appliances and a separate breakfast nook with a built-in banquette.
Other standout features include a lush master retreat, which comes complete with a fireside sitting area and private balcony, as well as dual walk-in closets and baths; and outdoors, the resort-inspired grounds host a pool and spa flanked by a pool house with its own living area, bedroom and bath, along with an al fresco dining area outfitted with a full kitchen. There’s also a 2,800-square-foot accessory building.
The listing is shared by Santiago Arana of The Agency and Jade Mills of Coldwell Banker Realty.
