Jane Fonda, the renowned actress and activist, has lived in several beautiful homes, but one of her notable recent residences was a Mediterranean-style house in Los Angeles. This luxurious property, located in the upscale neighborhood of Trousdale Estates in Beverly Hills, reflects both classic charm and modern elegance, typical of Mediterranean architecture.
You can enjoy her most significant roles in Klute (1971), Julia (1977), Coming Home (1978), On Golden Pond (1981), and The Morning After (1986). If you keep fit, you might like her exercise videos, Jane Fonda’s Workout, first released in 1982. These 22 videos became the highest-selling VHS of the 20th century, with over 17 million copies sold. Then, an 86-year-old star has become synonymous with fitness. She used to lift 15 pounds for her biceps, but even now, she lifts five pounds. The celebrity also said she still does her iconic workout videos daily to ‘stay in shape.’
Let’s see whether her townhouse in Century City, on the westside of Los Angeles, reflects Fonda’s rebellious spirit. The property was originally listed at 5.65 million dollars, but the Oscar winner managed to negotiate the price tag down. Jane Fonda consequently purchased the townhouse for 5.45 million dollars in 2017. The actress moved there after splitting from her longtime partner, an American record producer, Richard Perry. Previously, they had shared a seven thousand-square-foot mansion in Beverly Hills. According to Mr. Perry, the breakup was amicable. Now, Jane Fonda has a new place to celebrate her return to single life.
Her sprawling four-bedroom, seven-bath townhouse occupies six thousand seven hundred square feet. The three-storey home sits behind a guard-gated community called the Enclave, which comprises only ten houses. Fonda’s neighbors include Bob Newhart, a famous American comedian and actor.
Fonda’s townhouse is a perfect example of a Mediterranean-style home. With ties to historic European architecture, such estates are reminiscent of sun-soaked, seaside residences. Their distinctive features are elegant red roof tiles, arches, stucco walls, and enclosed outdoor spaces. Such homes exhale timeless style with global appeal. The Mediterranean style gained widespread appeal in the USA in the 1920s, especially in California and Florida. The architecture of Spain, Italy, France, Portugal, and Greece has largely influenced Mediterranean-style estates. The exterior design emphasizes warmth and outdoor living, and the indoor aesthetic is mostly associated with a leisurely lifestyle and wealth. Mediterranean homes usually boast sprawling and symmetrical facades.
