Former supermodel and Pirelli calendar girl Christina Estrada’s Los Angeles home is officially walking the real estate runway. The ex-wife of the late Saudi billionaire Walid Juffali is asking $26 million for her Italian-style villa in a prime pocket of Beverly Hills, with the listing held by Gary Gold of Forward One.
Built in the 1930s and since extensively remodeled, the white stucco and terracotta-roof structure is tucked away behind a hedge-lined fence and secured gates on over a half an acre of land in 90210’s desirable Flats neighborhood. A main home and detached guesthouse boast a combined total of seven bedrooms and 10 baths in nearly 9,000 square feet of living space, all of it being sold fully furnished.
An elegant double-height entry foyer boasts a hand-painted ceiling and bifurcated staircase.

Ornate double doors open into a soaring foyer displaying a crystal chandelier dangling from a hand-painted coffered ceiling and an iron-railed bifurcated staircase. A 12-seat dining room and a sunken fireside living room can be found on either side of the foyer, while a pair of arched doorways flanking the staircase lead into a spacious great room featuring a steel-framed wall of glass spilling out to a covered loggia.
Nearby is an all-white kitchen outfitted with an eat-in island and top-tier stainless appliances, as well as a vintage ice box-style refrigerator, with an attached butler’s pantry flowing to a family/breakfast room that’s accessible to an alfresco entertaining terrace. Elsewhere is a wood-paneled library sporting a decorative tracery ceiling, built-in bookshelves, and a stone fireplace notched into the corner.
Resting beneath a striking tracery ceiling is a bookshelf-lined library warmed by a corner fireplace.

Upstairs, the primary suite comes with a fireplace, a walk-in closet, and a two-room bath slathered in marble. The amenities continue in the fully hedged backyard, where there’s a pool and spa abutting the separate guesthouse with its own kitchen and living area. There’s also a detached five-car garage on the premises.
Estrada and Juffali were married from 2001 to 2014. Following their divorce, the former supermodel retained ownership of the home as part of a highly publicized settlement.
