Michelle Pfeiffer's uber-chic home perfects the quiet luxury trend – and it's sold for $14 million
Organic modern meets refined luxury in Pfeiffer's former Pacific Palisades estate – featuring a pool house, converted stables, and separate guest property
The Hollywood real estate market is always bustling with celebrities buying and selling homes. One of the latest hot properties to hit the market (and sell) is a home formerly belonging to Scarface and Batman Returns star Michelle Pfeiffer – and needless to say, it's breathtaking.
The 3.3-acre equestrian compound, which was also previously owned by actor Will Rogers, sold for $14.044 million in July, and it's easy to see why it was so desirable. Between the expansive yard space, stunning outdoor pool, and unique interior details, the home is cozy yet refined. It's a masterclass in decorating with neutrals, and we'd say it's revived the quiet luxury trend. Let's take a closer look at the Pacific Palisades property, shall we?
Built in the 1930s for Rogers, the estate consists of a single story main home, a staff house, a pool house, stables converted into a state-of-the-art home gym, and a newly constructed two-story guest house.
The entryway starts off strong with grand, white pillars and brick grounds, while the doors are painted a beautiful shade of dark green, matching the lush greenery surrounding the home.
Meanwhile, the living area mixes quiet luxury with organic modern sensibilities. Whites and woods unite harmoniously, with an oak door and brick fireplace juxtaposing against eggshell walls, a cream carpet, and elaborate candlestick scones. The room is a masterclass in mixing textures and layering similar colors.
The den takes a cozy approach, with reclaimed wood floors serving as a foundation for the butter yellow-painted space. Exposed wood beams on the ceilings are a nice touch, while there is ample storage space available in the large, white media console – perfect for relaxed nights in.
The white and wood theme continues into the dining area, where a long, wood table is surrounded by cushy white seats. Large windows allow for ample natural light, while extra coverage is provided by a black-painted, brass chandelier hanging above the table.
Moving into the bedroom, we can see that layered linens make the space feel extra comfortable and inviting. White walls, big windows, and a brick fireplace add a bit of a rustic touch to the room.

Perhaps one of the highlights of the home, the bathroom features a large, wood tub that is instantly warm and inviting. Glass windows surrounding the tub showcase the lush vegetation outside, making for a spathroom if we ever saw one.
Yet another water-focused perk, the swimming pool is undoubtedly a major focal point of the home. As an added bonus, it's accompanied by a spa.
A bar decked out in a similar green to the front door unites the property, while wood stools and wicker furniture create a haven in the home.
