Brooke Shields Asks $35K a Month for a Mansion With a Blue Lagoon
Nothing comes between Brooke Shields and her Los Angeles home – except renters willing to pay $35,000 a month.
Neighbors Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck, who are divorcing but continue to live together, reportedly rented the place last year as a back-up property while theirs was being renovated.
Shields, meanwhile, spends most of her time in New York, leaving open her Swiss chalet-style mansion in the family-friendly enclave of Pacific Palisades. It’s plenty big for a family, with 5 bedrooms, 5.5 baths and multiple dining, lounging and television-watching areas.
Even the master bathroom has a large-screen television, along with a soaking tub and a fireplace with a fainting – or dressing – couch, depending on your mood.
The gated home measures a roomy 5,345 square feet but offers numerous cozy enclaves, from a television room with its own kitchenette and seating area to an open-style upstairs library and study with built-ins and exposed beam ceilings.
It boasts expansive decks on each level with treetop views, and a wooded yard with a Blue Lagoon-style pool.
The listing agent is Dan Urbach of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices.

The initial shockwave from TRID is over, replacing fears and worries with solid evidence of what the new rule is doing to the industry, especially for #mortgage investors.
