Jennifer Lopez, Ben Affleck settle on $64M LA mansion

0

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are slack when it comes to finding their perfect home.

Last month, the newlyweds were in custody for a $34.5 million California home in affluent Pacific Palisades. But at the last minute they backed out of buying it.

Instead, it looks like they’ve finally settled on prime real estate belonging to one of Los Angeles’ most prominent families.

Owned by Gregory Milken — one of the city’s wealthiest residents — along with his wife, EJ, the 1.13-acre Pacific Palisades property was listed less than a week before the couple picked it up.

Gregory, EJ and their five children went on the market for $64 million and have lived in the home for over a decade, purchasing the property in 2009 for $14.5 million.

The home spans over 13,000 square feet and comes with a 3,000 square foot guest house.

Gregory’s father, Michael Milken, was one of Wall Street’s most powerful financiers in the 1980s – and earned credit for developing high-yield bonds, also known as “junk bonds.”

Consisting of six bedrooms and 10 bathrooms, the property spans a whopping 13,000 square feet and comes with a 3,000-square-foot guest house with two bedrooms and four bathrooms.

Features include two study rooms, a media room, a large game room that opens to the backyard, two game rooms, a large kitchen, and a family room.

Plus, there’s an 800-square-foot gym where Lopez can work up a sweat.

The site has a long driveway that opens onto a large motor field, the listing says.

Outdoor amenities include a resort-style pool and spa and a fireplace.

Fred Bernstein of Westside Estate Agency has the listing.

Lopez, 53, and Affleck, 50, have been touring homes since the summer of 2021. Last March, they also had a contract to buy a $50 million mansion before finally deciding against it.

Meanwhile, Lopez has already found a buyer for her nine-bedroom, six-year French-style Bel-Air property that she put on the market last month for $42.5 million.
