After nearly fifteen years of ownership, actress Milla Jovovich and her husband, writer/director Paul W.S. Anderson, have sold their Los Angeles Spanish ranch-style estate. The property changed hands this month for $13.4 million; the couple put it up for sale this past April with an asking price of $13.995 million.
The house dates to 2006, and sits on a .64-acre lot in Beverly Hills Post Office. It has seven bedrooms and ten baths across 10,998 sq. ft. From the street, the property follows a gentle gradient, its tiled roofs unfurling as the single-level structures culminate with a two-story section in back. A gated front walk off the garage and a gated drive are points of entry.
The home’s layout is a rambling one, and indoor and outdoor living areas meander dutifully but idiosyncratically along its narrow rectangle-shaped lot. The turnkey lifestyle it offers is enormously appealing, with a secluded feel and an expansive one too, and living areas are extremely varied; a courtyard with a fireplace loggia and a pool, a double-height living room with a fireplace, an indoor/outdoor living room with a tile floor and a BBQ bar, and an airy guest room with arched French doors opening to a balcony are highlights.
The home’s master features a fireplace with a raised hearth and an exterior wall of wood-framed, fold-away glass panels. Numbering among the property’s creature comforts is a stadium screening room that’s been given a decadent treatment: a bewitching softness adorns its walls and ceiling. An office, a particularly buoyant kitchen, vegetable gardens, and a lavish slate pool area and sundeck put the finishing touches on this secretive little estate.
