Gwyneth Paltrow’s childhood home hits the market
The childhood home of Gwyneth Paltow in California has been listed for sale with a hefty price tag of $17.5 million ($NZD 30 million).
The six-and-a-half bedroom mansion was first purchased by Paltrow’s parents, actress Blythe Danner and Hollywood director Bruce Paltrow, in 1976 when the Goop founder was about four years old.
In 2008, the 109-year-old property was bought by designer Jerome Dahan after Paltrow’s father died from complications of oral cancer and pneumonia.
The property, nestled in the upscale neighbourhood Gillette Regent Square in Santa Monica, boasts features that match the luxe nature of its surroundings, including a landscaped tropical oasis for a garden, a Balinese-inspired pool and spa, and a three-car glass showroom that overlooks the pool.
Inside the home, the entryway is enclosed in glass and leads to a large living room with a fireplace, a theatre room, a kitchen and a guest bedroom, with an office and three ensuite bathrooms upstairs, including the main bedroom’s dual bathrooms and walk-in closets.
The property also includes a two-storey guesthouse that houses a gym, dry sauna, bedroom and office.
Following extensive renovations, the property has additions such as solar panels, backup generators, and electronically gated entries.
“In a market of overbuilt mansions that are undeniably starting to look and feel the same, 2020 Georgina elevates above the competition offering a bespoke and meticulously crafted experience unlike anything I've seen in Santa Monica,” said Robert Lawrence Edie of Compass Realty, who is managing the sale.
Paltrow grew up in the home with her younger brother, Jake Paltrow, and went to school at the nearby Crossroads School for Arts & Sciences.
When she was 12, the family moved to a New York City townhouse and she now lives on the West Coast full-time with her husband and two children.
