Around seven months after it first hit the market for nearly $30 million and subsequently underwent a price chop, Gwyneth Paltrow’s longtime Los Angeles home in the Lower Mandeville Canyon area of Brentwood has sold to an unidentified buyer for $22 million. And though that’s considerably less than she originally wanted, it’s still a whopping $12 million more than the Goop CEO and her now ex-husband, Chris Martin of Coldplay fame, paid for the 1950s spread almost 13 years ago, back in spring 2012.
Since then, the Oscar-winning actress and lifestyle guru has extensively renovated and expanded the premises with a one-bedroom guesthouse sporting a climate-controlled wine cellar, plus an office, a gym, a game room, and a movie theater. An apartment also rests atop the detached two-car garage.
Resting amid a parcel spanning roughly two-thirds of an acre and described in marketing materials as “Southern Transitional,” the Windsor Smith-designed abode offers eight bedrooms and 11 baths in almost 13,000 square feet of single-level living space boasting reclaimed wood floors and patterned stonework throughout.

Among the highlights is a spacious living room with French doors spilling out to a backyard holding a plunge pool, as well as a bookshelf-lined family room. The gourmet kitchen is outfitted with an eat-in island, a breakfast nook, double cooktops and ranges, and a wood-burning oven, while a secluded primary wing has dual bedrooms and baths.
Paltrow has shared the digs with her husband, writer-producer Brad Falchuk, since they were wed in 2018. The couple, who have four grown children between them, also own dwellings in the seaside California enclave of Montecito and in Amagansett, N.Y.
The residence, which sits right next door to a modern farmhouse-style spread that was purchased by rapper and songwriter Kendrick Lamar for more than $40 million, was listed by Lea Porter of The Beverly Hills Estates. Richard Ehrlich of Carolwood Estates repped the buyer.
