What’s it like to live like a star? Stunning views, sweeping windows, personal spas, high vaulted ceilings and Olympic sized swimming pools are just a handful of things that come to mind when thinking of the amazingly lavish homes of some of our favorite celebrities. Certainly ranging in style, they all seem to have one thing in common: luxury. I thought it would be fun to look at the homes of some of my favorite celebs.
Brad Pitt & Angelina Jolie
Brad and Angelina are well renowned for having a variety of lush, richly stylistic properties all over the world. Perhaps one of the most popular is their Tudor style mansion in Long Island, New York, called “Sassafras”. This home features 8 bedrooms, and 12 bathrooms, which is perfect, since the couple has a slew of kids to look after. The home also boasts of having two helipads, a playground, a private cove complete with a personal dock, and a barbershop all of its own. It sits on a sprawling 48 acres of land, and is estimated at being worth roughly $60 million dollars.
Sandra Bullock
Ms. Bullock is the proud owner of a Victorian style home in New Orleans that was built in the late 1860′s. It has a total of 6,615 sq. ft, 5 bedrooms and 4.5 baths. The house itself has high sweeping ceilings, and delicate wood carvings throughout, along with some beautifully restored Victorian fixtures. Huge flowing staircases, and a modern kitchen that would accommodate a team of chefs, the house is thought to be worth $2.25 million dollars. Eat your heart out, Jesse James.
John Travolta
Just outside of Ocala, Florida is John Travolta’s home and personal airstrip. The actor has a true passion for flying, and as a result, has added a 1.4 mile runway to his own home. John can literally walk out his back door and be in the cockpit of one of his airplanes within minutes. The home also has its own gym, massive stables able to contain the 75 horses that are in residence, a huge garden and a helipad. The inside of the home sports a modern feel, complete with floor to ceiling windows, and a fully stocked bar.
Halle Berry
This actress is the proud owner of a Mediterranean style, two bedroom, two bathroom mansion in Beverly Hills. From the tiled roofs to the luscious gardens, this home is absolutely breathtaking. The raw wood cabinets in the kitchen and bare rafters in the ceilings give it an almost rustic feel, while still having all the luxuries of any Beverly Hills mansion. The rounded staircase with iron wrought railing is simple and elegant, while the delicately turned French doors are intricate and refined.
Jerry Seinfeld
This 14,200 sq ft Colorado home was recently put on the market for $18.25 million dollars. With 12 bedrooms, this sprawling contemporary ranch sits on 27 acres of land. It comes fully furnished, featuring four fireplaces, a private road, guest house, and beautiful wood ceilings. Even though it is near a housing development, it has the look and feel of a secluded ranch. The house wraps around the private driveway and has a deck on the upper level that provides the owner a breathtaking view.
