Pfeiffer, Kelley Purchase Riviera Home for $10.6 Million

By LILY TINOCO | Assistant Editor

Actress Michelle Pfeiffer and TV producer David E. Kelley recently purchased a $10.6 million Mediterranean-style Pacific Palisades estate, according to the Robb Report.

Tucked away in the Riviera, the luxury residence, previously owned by famed winemaker Al Scheid, boasts five bedrooms and seven bathrooms spread out over 7,600 square feet, showcasing “immaculate scale and quality design,” according to the listing.

A private oasis, the just-over-one-third-acre lot is nestled behind tall trees that round its perimeter. Arched double front doors welcome guests into the home, where they are greeted with a “sweeping staircase” and high ceilings with classic wooden beams into the formal living space—complete with a fireplace. Across the entryway, a family room features custom floor-to-ceiling built-ins and coffered ceilings.

Located next to the outdoor patio, the formal dining room boasts vaulted ceilings and views of the outdoor veranda, enveloped in lush greenery, “providing a peaceful yet multi-functional dining and entertaining space.” The kitchen and breakfast area are accompanied by another family room, featuring a fireplace and bar. Outdoors, the backyard has a pool and spa.

Upstairs, the home has a long hallway—with ample natural light flooding in—and custom built-ins, which leads down to the primary suite. The primary suite features another fireplace, large bathroom with dual closets, and a balcony with views of the private backyard.

“There are three additional bedrooms with en-suite baths followed by a bonus room,” the listing read, “bringing forth endless opportunities for whatever your needs are.”

Gary Glass at Compass held the listing.

The acquisition is the latest in the celebrity power couple’s real estate ventures. Pfeiffer last sold a French-style Palisades estate for $25 million in 2021—earning the celebrity couple a $2.75 million profit after purchasing the home for $22.5 million in January 2020.

In November 2019, the celebrity duo listed another Mediterranean-style property located in the Riviera for $8.35 million, according to Variety. The couple listed the house a little over a year after purchasing it for $7.7 million in an off-market deal.

The couple also sold another Palisades home for $9.1 million to their neighbor Jim Crane, owner of the Houston Astros, according to Variety. The 3,211-square-foot residence has four bedrooms and five bathrooms. The couple reportedly paid $8.15 million for the home.

Television producer Kelley has won 11 Emmys for TV writing. Pfeiffer is an award-winning actress, well known for her role in the 1983 film “Scarface” and her recent role as Janet Van Dyne in Marvel’s “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania.”
