'It's just too much for me': Jennifer Aniston puts her sprawling Beverly Hills mansion on the market for a cool $42m

For sale: Jennifer Aniston is selling her Beverly Hills home, which she spent more than two years renovating


Jennifer Aniston’s luxurious Beverly Hills home is officially on the market for $42 million.

The Just Go With It star spent more than two years renovating that 9,000 square foot property after purchasing it in 2006 for $13.5 million.

And just last year Aniston raved about the Zen influenced home, telling Architectural Digest it felt 'like a hug' and 'vibrates with the love that created it.'


Aniston, who is currently single, put the house on the market after deciding it was 'too much' for her during a recent trip to London.


She told People magazine: ‘I couldn’t sleep and I sort of had one of those moments where I really needed to simplify.

‘My life needs to be simplified and clear out the clutter. And along with that thought came, I should sell my house. I had the realization that this is just too much for me, I’m not this person.’

Aniston named the property Ohana, in homage to the Hawaiian idea of extended family, and completely overhaulled it with the help of designer Stephen Shadley.

She marked her 40th birthday in 2009 by moving into the new decadent property that includes a Koi pond running through the entrance hall, breathtaking views of Los Angeles and a swimming pool.

Aniston is ready to get away from the prying eye of Hollywood and has set her sights on the Big Apple.

‘I am looking for little spots in New York City to go back home. There are all sorts of things that are going to be happening in the near future so I’m excited. I don’t know what they are but that’s the fun part.’

Whispers are growing louder that the divorced star has already successfully put an offer on a $15million duplex penthouse in New York’s West Village.

The apartment, spacious by New York City standards, may be the smaller, more manageable space Aniston at 3,000 square feet.

Inside Britney Spears' new luxury $20m mansion

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

New home: Britney Spears is said to have bought this $20 million mansion


She currently resides in a $8.9m hilltop property in the exclusive Calabasas area of Los Angeles, but it seems Britney Spears is eager for an upgrade.

The 29-year-old singer is said to have purchased a new house in the extremely private Hidden Hills community just a couple of miles south of her current location.

The stunning new property sits on over three acres and boasts a massive 20,000 square feet of indoor space.

The mock Tudor mansion house has ten bedrooms and 13 bathrooms all with high ceilings and dark hardwood floors.

'Between the chandeliers, the huge ballroom and the double stairway entrance there is something completely enchanting about this home,' Hollywood real estate expert Chad Rogers told In Touch magazine.

One of the bedrooms is painted bright pink, which might need a fresh coat to better accommodate her boys' tastes.

The singer has two sons from her marriage to Kevin Federline, five-year-old Sean Preston and four-year-old Jayden James.

The house is very child oriented and even has a games room complete with air hockey table, pin ball machines and arcade games.

Outside there are expansive private gardens set on three acres complete with a tennis court, swimming pool and multiple hot tubs, with caves and waterfalls plus huge areas of lawn and mature trees.

The pop princess' new home is in the same community where superstars like Jennifer Lopez, the Osbournes and the Kardashians have all owned homes.

The village-like area is completely gated and private with its own Starbucks, supermarket and restaurants which will keep Britney and her family away from prying eyes.

Britney is currently enjoying being back on top after the success of her new single, Hold It Against Me.

The song went straight onto the Billboard charts at number one in its first week and the song's video has garnered a lot of attention in the media.

Her new album Femme Fatale will be released in March.
