During their marriage, Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner owned a stunning 3-acre Los Angeles property together; however, after parting ways in 2018 and finalizing their divorce, the pair put the property up for sale on the market. It seems that the space ended up in the hands of another celebrity. Famed Maroon 5 singer Adam Levine snatched the property off the market that same year and paid a whopping USD 31.95 million for it all. However, years later, he was able to earn a hefty profit after reselling the space. Read ahead to know more about all of this.

After passing through generations of Hollywood royalty, from the legendary actor Gregory Peck to producer Brian Grazer, and then movie stars Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner, this 3-acre property has seen a lot of glitz and glam over the years. Ultimately in 2018, Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine with supermodel Behati Prinsloo ended up with the property. According to the Los Angeles Times, Levine bought the property for USD 31.95 million. This cost included the main residence, along with the sprawling 3-acre land surrounding it all.

More about the interior of the house that once belonged to Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck
The interior of the prime LA property included a ranch-style main house original to the late 1930s, which was designed by pioneering midcentury architect Cliff May. Affleck and Garner purchased the property in 2009 from producer Brian Grazer, who had himself bought the compound for USD 17.5 million and undertook major additions, including expanding living spaces and adding custom amenities.When Levine bought the property, he and Prinsloo teamed up with renowned interior designers to completely change the interiors into a warm, minimalist sanctuary. The house was featured in Architectural Digest’s “Open Door” series; the design introduced muted plaster walls, natural light, steel-framed windows, mid-century furnishings, and warm wooden flooring.The living residence spans roughly 9,000 square feet of main living space across three structures: the main house, the guest house, and the separate wellness/gym/office pavilion. Along with this, the home also includes a Dolby-sound screening room, game room, marble bar, and walk-in commercial refrigerator; landscaped walking paths; a swimming pool; a full basketball court; a chicken coop; and expansive views stretching from Downtown LA to the Pacific Ocean.
