The six-bedroom mansion of activist Erin Brockovich in Agoura Hills, CA is currently listed for $2.35 million. Steven Soderbergh's award-winning film "Erin Brockovich'' was famously portrayed by Julia Roberts. Brockovich was known for her role in an anti-pollution lawsuit against Pacific Gas and Electric, which was settled for $333 million in 1996. With this landmark success, Erin started campaigning against toxic mold, water fluoridation, and other environmental issues.
According to Realtor, the home of Brockovich has an elegant entryway, a curved staircase, complete with white wainscoting hanging on the walls, and a huge chandelier overhead. The vast space of the split-level master closet has two rooms with enough storage space for several families' personal belongings. Brockovich's 5,021-square-foot house also offers spectacular views of the surrounding mountains from the backyard patio.
Erin Brockovich purchased the six-bedroom, six-bathroom home in 1997 for $900,000, after leading a lawsuit (and winning) against Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E). The company allegedly contaminated California's drinking water back in the day. The elegant home of Brockovich was listed by Alan Bess of Engel & Volkers Beverly Hills. This home is far from where she was living when she was still trying to make ends meet as a single mother, before she led the famed lawsuit.
The property has a vast kitchen which features big, double-wide windows above the sink overlooking the large backyard of the house. In the middle of the kitchen is a bar that seats five. Bedrooms in the house are large enough to accommodate at least three people. The activist has showcased her house with beautiful chandeliers, flashy prints and a two-level closet.
Daily Mail said that the house was purchased after a $2 million bonus came from the settlement against PG&E. Hollywood then recreated the activist's story which highlighted her confidence, in a blockbuster film in 2000 which starred Julia Roberts.
Erin made headlines recently when she accused the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) of lying about how much toxic waste water spilled from a Colorado mine that fouled rivers in three Western states.
