Jennifer Lopez’s $21M bachelorette mansion being renovated ‘to perfection’… after dropping price on Ben Affleck love nest

Jennifer Lopez continues to renovate the $21 million Hidden Hills, California mansion she purchased in February. The property spans 10,000 square feet.

The Daily Mail has published photos of the extensive renovations underway at the property, including the addition of a new room on the second floor.

The actress, originally from the Bronx, seems to be expanding her luxurious home. She will soon star in the musical *Kiss of the Spider Woman*.

According to a source who spoke with Daily Mail, Jennifer is determined to completely customize her home to match her exact preferences and achieve a flawless result.

Her recent film, Kiss of the Spider Woman, has given her a vision for her home: she wants it to feel luxurious, exciting, and playful.

This news follows Jennifer Lopez recently lowering the asking price on the California home she previously shared with her ex-husband, Ben Affleck.

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are trying to sell their former house again, this time for $52 million. That’s a significant price reduction of $16 million from their original asking price of $68 million in July 2024.

At the moment, she is still residing in the mega mansion.

In June there were photos of the renovations starting.

According to a source at the Daily Mail, she was spending lavishly to renovate the property. The insider explained that the estate is quite large, including the main house, a pool house, and a separate guest house, which accounts for the significant expenses.

This isn’t surprising for Jennifer Lopez, who’s known for transforming every house she lives in. A friend explained that she always renovates to create a space that truly feels like ‘her,’ adding her signature style to each home.

According to a source, Jennifer has a fantastic sense of style that elevates everything she touches. She had a clear vision for this space, wanting it to feel light, airy, and playful.

The home celebrates her new life as a single woman after a painful split from Ben. 

The property is about an hour’s drive from Ben Affleck’s home in Brentwood, which is close to where his former wife, Jennifer Garner, lives.

As DailyMail.com previously reported, Jennifer Lopez, a mother of twins Max and Emme, decided to move to find more peace and quiet. A source explained that she wanted to escape the busy city life and enjoy a more relaxed home in Hidden Hills.

This isn’t about wanting to avoid Ben, his family, Jennifer, or her children – she gets along with them just fine. She simply wants to be in a more laid-back setting.

It also helps that the security is tops.

As a lifestyle expert, I always advise clients to prioritize peace of mind, and that’s exactly what my friend found when she moved into a gated community. It’s incredibly secure, with security personnel and cameras providing constant vigilance. Now, she doesn’t stress about the little things – like letting Max ride his bike around the neighborhood or Emme head out for a walk with friends. It’s such a relief to know they’re safe and free to enjoy their surroundings.

Jennifer is familiar with the area, having previously lived in Calabasas when she was married to Cris Judd back in 2001.

This new house is quite the beauty. 

This large property covers 2.5 acres and includes a 10,046-square-foot main home, plus a barn, stables, a riding arena, a guest house, and a swimming pool.

For added luxury, the home boasts a private theater, a chef’s kitchen, and a fully equipped gym.

As a lifestyle expert, I always love a home with a story, and this one definitely has it! It’s fascinating to learn that John Fogerty of Creedence Clearwater Revival actually owned this property before selling it to Jennifer Lopez – and he originally bought it from none other than Sylvester Stallone! Talk about a celebrity pedigree.

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are still trying to sell their Beverly Hills home, which they bought in May 2023.

Crestview Manor is a luxurious property featuring a large main house with 12 bedrooms and 24 bathrooms. The estate also includes a 5,000-square-foot guest penthouse, a two-bedroom home for security personnel, a caretaker’s residence, and a garage with space for 12 vehicles.

This home includes a bar, a gym, a sports lounge, and even a boxing ring. There are also courts for basketball and pickleball, plus enough parking for up to 80 cars.

A source told PEOPLE that Lopez and Affleck weren’t fully aligned when they bought the house. 

According to a source, the decision to buy the $68 million house was Ben’s, and it involved a significant compromise for his partner. The large size of the property was perfect for bringing their two families together.

Apparently, Lopez envisioned a more romantic, European-style home, but Affleck quickly realized the location wasn’t practical for his daily life in Brentwood and being close to his children.

Following months of rumors about problems in their relationship, Jennifer Lopez filed for divorce in August, stating that she and her husband separated on April 26, 2024.

In September, Ben Affleck purchased a $20 million house in Brentwood, California, bringing him closer in proximity to his former spouse, Jennifer Garner, and their three kids.

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck, after reconnecting in 2021 following nearly two decades, surprised everyone with a quick wedding in Las Vegas in July 2022. They followed that up with a larger, more elaborate wedding celebration at Ben Affleck’s home in Georgia.
