Gwyneth Paltrow and Brad Falchuk rebuild massive Montecito mansion

Gwyneth Paltrow and Brad Falchuk are completely overhauling their 14,000-square-foot mansion in the celeb-favorite neighborhood of Montecito, California

When they purchased the home for a near $5million price tag in 2016, it was reported they needed to extensive work, which already boasted four bedrooms, four bathrooms, a large pool and more than two acres of land. 

It certainly seems like the 48-year-old Oscar winning actress and 50-year-old television writer have already made massive progress on that front as they even reportedly paid a visit to check on the progress on Friday.

The two certainly are in the process of building their own oasis as there seems to be an Olympic size swimming pool.

There also appears to be an open-plan farmhouse in addition to the already stunning ocean views.

Paltrow bought the property for only $4.9million back in 2016 as it since has become the go-to neighborhood of choice for top-tier celebrities to seek solace away from the hustle and bustle of Los Angeles.

Meghan Markle, Prince Harry, Oprah Winfrey, and Ellen DeGeneres are just a few of the A-listers who live in the celebrity-favorite enclave. 

The royal couple moved into their sprawling nine-bedroom and 16-bathroom mansion in upscale Montecito for $14.65million in June last year.

No doubt the overhaul has been an interesting experience for Paltrow’s neighbors as she had stirred up controversy with her neighbors in 2016 she bought two neighboring estates in the district and was cleared for plans to build a new mansion across both sites.

Speaking to Page Six at the time, one of her neighbors insisted the new home is ‘too big, too tall and incompatible with the adjacent houses, and it blocks their views’.

Gwyneth, who also owns homes in New York and London, had left neighbors enraged after plans for the home were cleared despite claims the home is still ‘too tall’ – after the star claimed to have lowered the home by eight feet. 

Andrew Rice, a spokesman for one neighbor, Michael MacElhenny, told Page Six: ‘She’s created an uproar with neighbors on all three sides. Michael and the other neighbors have tried to work with her, and they’ve gotten nowhere’. 

The representative was insistent at the time that the star had only lowered the home by one foot and he claimed the project had been given the go-ahead based on false information.
