Antonio Banderas and Melanie Griffith Sell L.A. Mansion for Nearly $16 Million
Antonio Banderas and Melanie Griffith have sold their former family home in Hancock Park for a whopping $15.947 million, their listing agent Brett Lawyer confirms to Yahoo.
While that price tag is pretty hefty, you might say the new owners are buying a little piece of Hollywood history — and making history themselves. Per Variety, it’s the most expensive sale ever for a single-family home in the affluent neighborhood.

Designed by Hoover Dam architect Gordon B. Kaufman in 1925, Banderas and Griffith purchased the Italian Revival-style mansion in 1999.
The 15,110-square-foot home features lots of details, including hand-stenciled coffered ceilings, vaulted beams, and wood-paneled ceilings. It also boasts 13 bedrooms, 11 bathrooms, a paneled library, a two-story kitchen, and four fireplaces.
Did we mention the residence also has an elevator, a recording studio, a gym, and a two-story banquet hall?
In 2000, the couple purchased the property next door, demolished the house, and used the extra space to create the lovely 1.5-acre estate that exists today. Of course, there are plenty of balconies to take in the massive grounds, which include a rose and vegetable garden and a swimming pool.

Banderas and Griffith wed in 1996 after meeting in 1995 on the set of Two Much. They announced their split in June 2014 after 18 years of marriage. Parting ways with this gorgeous mansion must be as painful as the divorce.
