Jennifer Garner opened the doors to her stunning $7.9 million farm-style home.
On Tuesday, the 52-year-old actress, who purchased the property back in 2019 after finalizing her divorce from Ben Affleck, gave Architectural Digest a tour of her stunning property, which she built ‘from scratch.’
Following her move out of the 8,798 square-foot mansion she once shared with her ex-husband and their three kids Violet Anne, 18, Fin, 15, and Samuel, 12, the 13 Going on 30 star embarked on a mission to create her own dream home in Brentwood.
‘I realized that I was going to need to move out of a dream house kind of scenario,’ she said while looking back on her search for the perfect place to raise her family.
She continued: ‘I looked and looked for a house to move into, but I needed privacy, and any house that had privacy was more grand than I felt comfortable in.’

The Golden Globe winner raved that she had ‘never built anything all by’ herself before and was ‘so proud of it.’
‘I am filled with gratitude, every time I walk into my house,’ Garner said. ‘That I get to live here. That I’m so lucky to have my kids here. So, it’s unlike me, yet, I’m so happy to have shared it with you.’
After getting ‘frustrated’ by what was on the market, she bought a lot and teamed up with designer Brooke Giannetti and architect Steve Giannetti
‘I started panicking in the middle of the build,’ she admitted. ‘I thought, I never even made a Pinterest board. I never even showed him pictures from a magazine. I just told him what I wanted and he did it… but it turns out I’m really, really happy’
The mother-of-three explained to AD that this marked her first time making design decisions on her own
This includes building a space with plenty of custom features, including a Harry Potter-themed office for her son, an aquarium for their fish and ‘slumber party room’
The performer, who was born in Houston, Texas, and raised in Charleston, West Virginia, went on to say that her favorite spot in the house was her upstairs reading nook
Another unique feature is Garner’s own ‘vegetable house’ (seen above)
