Sip your morning coffee while taking a virtual tour of our celebrity home of the day. Today: Penelope & Javier welcome us in.Hollywood hot couple Penelope Cruz and Javier Bardem have had their Los Angeles house on the market for awhile now. Originally listed at $3.695 million, the house is now down to $3.15 million. Still out of our price range, but we can dream, can't we? Cruz purchased the home for even less back in 2005. But now with her beau and their baby living there, they might have outgrown the 3-bedroom, 4-bathroom house.
Thanks to our friends at Realtor.com, we get a peak inside.
At first glance, this house looks a bit... ordinary. But don't be fooled- as soon as the main gate opens, you enter paradise.
The solid main gate of a door leads you into an outdoor foyer. It's as if we just gained access to a secret garden. The fern-lined, marbled walk shows the way to the decorative french doors.
The foyer is a large, open space leading down wide halls. From your first step, hardwood flooring is under foot. This continues throughout the house.
This living area is vast and complemented by floor-to-ceiling windows. It's staged now to share off the sheer amount of space but we'd love to bring in a few more seating arrangements to make this homier. Ah, for now we'll just have to settle for the view.
Who wouldn't want the luxury of having a large, in-ground pool steps from their back door? Plenty of patio space allows sun-bathers to relax and soak up California rays. Looking for shade? No problem. The cabana has you covered.
And if it's not a pool day, you can still sit just feet away. With the walls of doors and windows, you can view the pool from several areas of the house.
