After the success of “Silver Linings Playbook” and “The Hunger Games” series, it was time for Jennifer Lawrence to move out of her two-bedroom condo, which was owned by her parents! The 24-year-old Oscar-winning actress recently plunked down $8.225 million for a home in Beverly Hills that once belonged to Jessica Simpson and, before that, Ellen DeGeneres.
Lawrence discussed her recent move with Extra’s Mario Lopez, saying, “I just moved into a house. I am in the middle of [decorating it.] It’s Ellen’s old house. It was Jessica Simpson’s old house. It’s like the neighborhood whore. I was outside and some girl was like ‘I grew up in this house.’ Beat it kid. Everybody’s lived in this house.”
Lawrence’s new home is walled and gated.
The five-bedroom, 5.5-bathroom estate spans 5,500 square feet and has been recently renovated with interior designs by Rachel Ashwell of Shabby Chic Couture. It’s quite an upgrade from the condo in Santa Monica that her parents purchased in 2006, which Lawrence has been living in since she was 15 years old!
Lawrence’s condo in Santa Monica is still owned by her parents.
“Jennifer Lawrence’s new home is just as charming as she is,” said Redfin real estate agent Alec Traub. “It has a lot of little details that give it character, like ebonized hardwood floors, crown moldings and french doors.”
The stone courtyard offers a bit of serenity from the city.
The walled and gated home sits on 0.31 acres of densely landscaped grounds, offering plenty of privacy from her adoring fans. Amenities include a commercial-style gourmet kitchen, home gym and office. The master suite has a sitting area with doors that open to a large deck with view of the grounds. Outside, there’s a swimming pool surrounded by a stone courtyard that leads to a koi pond.
The grounds include a large pool surrounded by dense landscaping.
The home is right next door to the estate once owned by Kimora Lee Simmons, where filming took place for Simmons’ reality TV show “Life in the Fab Lane.” It’s also around the corner from Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman’s residence.
