American actress and lifestyle guru Gwyneth Paltrow has called Brentwood, California home since the 1970s. As a child, she lived with her famed parents, actress Blythe Danner and late director Bruce Paltrow, in their humble Brentwood abode. In 2001, the current owners purchased the property for $1.15 million. Now, for the first time in 20 years, the former Paltrow residence is being listed on the market for a price of $3.2 million.

At the age of 11, Paltrow’s family moved from California to the east coast where spent her teenage years in a Manhattan townhouse that her parents owned from 1984 to 1992. Their former Upper East Side residence was also listed on the market recently at $15.5 million. While Paltrow rose to fame in the films “Shakespeare in Love,” “The Royal Tenenbaums,” and “Emma,” she is primarily known in contemporary society as the founder of controversial lifestyle brand Goop. Paltrow reportedly still resides in the Brentwood area of California where she grew up.

Built in the 1940s, her childhood home spans 2,419 square feet and includes three bedrooms and 2.5 baths. Stepping inside the East Coast traditional, the living room presents a cozy fireplace, wainscotting, and French doors for indoor-outdoor living. The kitchen is equipped with black-and-white checked marble flooring, a wood-top center island, and a Dutch door. Further into the home, the adjacent family room offers a built-in banquette for casual meals and the formal dining room is perfect for entertaining. The main floor also includes a bar and office space. Decorative details consist of wood flooring, a slate-tiled roof, wood windows, bamboo-cloth walls, designer tiles, and custom cabinetry. Stepping outside, the lush exterior is surrounded by greenery with a gated front yard and a patio out back. Additionally, the walking path leads to an upper deck for picturesque views of the nearby canyon.

Gwyneth Paltrow’s Newlywed Home

Suzanne Dooley — Wed, 05 Dec 2018 15:22:25 +0000

This year celebrates a new beginning for Gwyneth Paltrow: her second marriage to writer/director, Brad Falchuk. The couple married September 29th in the backyard of Paltrow’s New York Hamptons home. Each was married once before and both have two children each from prior marriages. Having now blended their individual families into one bunch, where will the Faltrows live?

Well, Paltrow sold her New York apartment in Tribeca last year for over $10 million and currently owns a home in Los Angeles. She's previously mentioned how Los Angeles has become much more than a showbiz town in recent years, expanding to encompass lively components of technology, fashion, art and food. Her children attend LA schools. And Los Angeles just also happens to be a short commute for Paltrow - a stone's throw from her Brentwood home to goop’s West Coast offices in Santa Monica. Paltrow is surely preferring LA these days. And why not? The sunshine and Pacific Coast alone are reasons enough. And so it seems more than plausible that California will be the newlyweds' primary residence. At least, for now.

However, if the Faltrows decide to purchase a new not-so-humble abode, one thing's for sure, their new domicile will be infused with Paltrow's home design style. And so, to get a sense what she prefers, browse these luxury homes that mirror Paltrow's interior design style: where classic contemporary meets the not-so-status quo.

A Grand Entrance

An entrance way that would make Jane Austen proud will be a must-have for the newlyweds. Paltrow's current LA home embraces that proper-English-home decor and her former Tribeca home did as well. The foyer in any new abode will surely be a space where the classical and contemporary meet face-to-face at the round table.
