Among her many honours, actress Gwyneth Paltrow has won an Academy Award, a Golden Globe, and a Primetime Emmy. She was renowned in her early days for being the face of Estée Lauder. More recently, her role in Marvel Cinematic Universe made her even more notable. Of course, her acting chops in Shakespeare in Love, Seven, and The Talented Mr Ripley garnered her international fame, too.

Today, as a busy mother and business owner, the beautiful blonde has put up her childhood Santa Monica home for sale. At a price of US$ 17.5 million, the mansion was where Gwyneth grew up. The house has undergone extensive remodelling and is equipped with the latest technology, such as solar panels, backup generators, security cameras, and electronically guarded entries.
There are six bedrooms and six-and-a-half bathrooms in the 6,887-square-foot house. The large living area with a fireplace, the theatre room, and the guest bedroom are all accessible from the formal glass-enclosed foyer. The chef’s kitchen is enormous and well-lit, and it includes a dining space, a central marble island, and top-of-the-line Wolf and Sub-zero appliances.

A rarity in Santa Monica, the almost half-acre site is covered in truly magnificent grounds. The property, a tropical wonderland, has winding walks, fountains, mature trees, palms, two firepits, numerous outdoor entertaining places, and a pool and spa with Balinese influences. The two-storey guesthouse has an office, a bedroom, a sauna, a gym, and a kitchen.
The three-vehicle garage is configured as a glass-walled showcase, making it ideal for automobile enthusiasts. The estate is completely gated and provides peace and quiet with a VIP buyer’s demands. King Gillette, the company that makes razor blades, originally constructed the Gillette Regent Square community in Santa Monica. The area contains some of the largest residences in the well-liked Los Angeles beach city and is sought-after for its larger lots, mature street trees, and closeness to Palisades Park on the bluffs overlooking the Pacific Ocean.
