Ben Affleck went high with the listing price of his pre-pandemic Pacific Palisades purchase—and it paid off! The newly wed has sold his 13,452 mansion for $28.5 million, just $1.495 million under the original asking price.
The gated property next to the prestigious Riviera Country Club features seven bedrooms, nine bathrooms, sitting on more than a half-acre. Inside, ceilings soar overhead and a curved staircase flank the foyer. Amenities and design details include a sitting room with box beamed ceilings and bay windows, a formal dining room with a statement chandelier and an enticing family room with a fireplace and a wall of glass that opens to the outdoor space.
The kitchen provides chic blue cabinetry, Miele appliances, marble countertops, a dining area and a long window seat that looks out onto the garden. The stylish office includes a wall of built-ins and wainscoting, while the primary suite features vaulted ceilings, a fireplace, a spa-like bathroom, walk-in closet and a balcony.
Outdoors, one can dine al fresco under the covered patio (complete with heaters, a fireplace and a flatscreen), cook in the outdoor kitchen, lounge poolside, soak in the spa or have a splash of fun with the waterslide.
Additional property features include a guesthouse with a kitchenette and bathroom, a wellness room, upstairs lounge, laundry room with four machines, home theater, lower level rec room with a full bar, a temperature-controlled, walk-in wine cellar and a gym.
