Actress Leighton Meester and her husband Adam Brody may have A-list name recognition but they’re a pretty low-key couple. So, it’s not surprising that the duo is growing their real estate holdings the same way: slowly but surely. Proof of this is their most recent purchase of a sprawling home in the Pacific Palisades area.
Latest Addition
Splurging a $6.5 million, Meester and Brody nabbed a three-story five-bedroom home that’s definitely more than big enough for their small family of three. Inside, the place features a long hallway that’s decked with open doorways, which serve as gateways into the many living spaces of the house. Other notable design elements include a wood-beam ceiling that lends an airy feel to the interiors and a wall of glass doors that lead out to the garden out front.
The same glass design element appears in its kitchen located in the back of the home. The room is equipped with some built-in, glass-fronted display cases, which adds to the feeling of openness in the area, and a wall of glass sliders, which separates the kitchen from the dining area and the lounging terrace. Another set of a wall of glass sliding doors open to one more lounge area outside where one can enjoy stunning views of the coastline.
The home’s bedrooms also don’t disappoint, especially its master suite, which is said to be the highlight of the residence. The room comes complete with its own private patio and a walk-in closet. Meanwhile, its bathroom boasts of spa-like features such as a deep-soaking tub and a glass-enclosed shower. Another en suite bedroom is also located on the home’s ground floor right about the main entrance. The rest of the bedrooms are located upstairs.
The first floor features many areas that can serve as entertainment and family rooms. These can also serve as the perfect venue for hosting casual get-togethers thanks to the wet bar and kitchenette. The party can continue on outside where the swimming pool is located.
Other Holdings
Aside from their latest purchase, the celebrity couple also own another multi-million property this time situated between Woodland Hills and Malibu. This mountain location is definitely a contrast to the coastal views their Pacific Palisades home has.
Individually, both Meester and Brody have owned their fair share of California real estate. For example, the ‘Single Parents’ actress used to own a $2 million ranch-style residence in the Royal Oaks area. It has since been sold in 2015.
Meanwhile, her former ‘The O.C.’ actor husband owned a Hollywood residence, which he sold in 2011 for $1.85 million. They also notably recently sold a condo, which was bought by Brody back in 2002.
