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.
