The sale of JLo’s $42 million Bel Air mansion has begun

In 2022, when Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck rekindled their famous romance and tied the knot again, their initial plan was to reside in Jennifer’s 12,800 square-foot French-style mansion in Bel Air, as reported by Dirt. However, the couple has changed their minds and is now in search of a new love nest, listing their current home for $42.5 million—a substantial $14.5 million increase from Jennifer’s purchase price from actress Sela Ward in 2016.

Take a glimpse into JLo’s California home below!

Originally envisioned by architect Samuel Marx, the house, constructed in 1940, has been given a French-inspired makeover. Tucked away behind a gated driveway on an 8-acre property mere minutes from the Bel Air Hotel, the creamy stucco and stone structure boasts nine bedrooms and thirteen bathrooms, all of which open up to expansive terraces.

 

Notable features include a double-height living room complete with a fireplace, piano, wet bar, and a striking wrought-iron staircase.

The living room is given a modern touch by the steel windows. The rustic, French farmhouse-style wooden ceiling receives a touch of glamour from the dazzling chandelier.

Jennifer Lopez loves a golden ambiance, achieved here through a gilded wall in the formal dining area.

The gourmet kitchen takes inspiration from the style of French farmhouses. A stone fireplace, distressed apothecary-style counter displaying the name of a French patisserie, a black enamel stove, and a hutch all infuse European flavors.

In the adjacent den, a calming atmosphere is cultivated through natural materials and a soft color palette.

The breakfast nook is bathed in morning light through steel windows, creating a perfect spot for breakfast. A rustic timber beam adds character to the built-in screen on the stone wall.

In this bathroom, a mosaic wall and a freestanding tub placed on a wooden pedestal create a spa-like ambiance. The bathroom opens up to a lounge area on the patio, ideal for a cup of coffee after morning preparations.

The principal bedroom wing on the upper floor encompasses a fireplace, sitting area, and dual dressing rooms and bathrooms.

A stone patio is adorned with sofas and a firetable for relaxation. Lushly landscaped gardens feature mature trees and shrubs.

For someone like JLo, who is known for her dancing, an infinity-edge pool for laps and a spa are essential.

A private lake complete with a charming cabana and sandy beach adorned with palm trees offers a tropical escape just steps away from the main house.
