Bryanna Cappadona of the news website Boston.com sees Matt Damon as a benevolent, true friend who "cannot, will not, live without Ben (Affleck)" that he has also decided to sell his Los Angeles home with an asking price of $20 million. As it can be recalled, it was reported last week that Affleck and wife, Jennifer Garner, made their property, on the same block with that of Damon's in the same neighborhood, available on the open market.
Mark David describes in Variety that Damon's Pacific Palisades estate is a 0.68-acre corner lot enclosed in a gated and in a high-hedged compound. Its mansion, which measures 9,000 square feet, features five family bedrooms, two staff bedrooms and nine bathrooms. It was designed by the KAA Design Group which is also based in Los Angeles. It is an interconnection of glass, wood and stone pavilions which wind around a central atrium with a 35-foot mahogany ceiling. Inside the grand house are its formal living and dining rooms, a family room, an eat-in kitchen, a screening room and a state-of-the-art home gym. Outside are courtyards, sleeping porches, flat lawns, gardens which are connected by wood walkways. There are water features as well which include a swimming pool with nearby pavilion and a koi pond.
This property was acquired by Damon and his wife, Luciana, in 2013 for $15 million. That same year, they sold their Miami Beach mansion which was earlier owned by Maurice Gibb of the Bee Gees.
Damon, an Oscar Award winner, has been busy lately doing promotional works for the box office sci-fi motion picture, "The Martian," which was shown at the Toronto Film Festival.
Followers of Damon and Affleck are now awaiting where the two actors, who are known inside and outside the celebrity circle to be really close pals, will be settling next.
