Sarah Michelle Gellar’s Brentwood Home Perfects Warm California Minimalism inside a Gated Mandeville Canyon Enclave
Understated elegance and elevated neutrals define the Mandeville Canyon home as it hits the market
Hamptons style in Brentwood? Enough said. Sarah Michelle Gellar and Freddie Prinze Jr.'s Los Angeles home is a masterclass in neutral interiors that feel warm, inviting, and exciting to look at.
The warm minimalist masterclass is on the market of a house for $10.5 million with Christie's International Real Estate, and Homes & Gardens is taking you on the tour - including a description of its best features, photos of each room, and a curation of our editors' picks for recreating the look. Positioned in a gated community in Mandeville Canyon, the 7,319-square-foot home boasts six bedrooms and six bathrooms. The home is bright and airy throughout, with a gorgeous open plan layout that flows from one room to the next.
Its quiet luxury ambiance starts on the outside, with a gorgeously manicured lawn and cool lap pool. Elegant hardscaping echoes the natural motifs seen throughout the interiors.
Sarah Michelle Gellar's entryway is similarly tranquil, inviting guests in with warm white walls, wooden accents, and glamorous lighting. I love the way she's organized a small sitting area in this unexpected space.
