Jennifer Lopez JLo and Ben Affleck just bought Wallingford Estate at 2571Wallingford Dr Beverly Hills, California by Mary Cummins


Jennifer Lopez JLo and Ben Affleck buy Wallingford Estate in Beverly Hills for $60,850,000. The home is located at 2571 Wallingford Dr, Beverly Hills, California 90210. This is the City of Los Angeles aka Beverly Hills Post Office. It's not Beverly Hills. 

It was originally listed in 2018 at $135,000,000 then $85,000,000 then .... then $74,995,000. It was also listed for rent for $300,000 and $350,000 per month. The home is approximately 30,000 sf on a 226,513 sf lot per MLS. It could only be 22,163 sf per tax with 8 beds, 12 baths. The actual address is 2543 Hutton Dr. and 2543 1/2 Hutton Dr. Per one of the more recent listings,

"One of the most private and secured estates in Beverly Hills 90210 with stunning mountain views. The newly rebuilt & expanded Wallingford estate is spread over a 5-acre exclusive promontory. A one-of-a-kind indoor sports complex w/ basketball, pickleball, gym, boxing ring, sports lounge & bar all celebrate an active lifestyle & the love of sports. Located just 8 minutes from the BH Hotel & 20 minutes from Van Nuys private airport, both entrances can only be accessed through private/gated streets. Exquisitely designed & built w/ impeccable taste, the sophisticated & stylish estate infuses today's technology w/ magnificently refined rooms. Totaling approx. 46K SF under roof & approx. 38K SF under A/C & boosting 12 bedrooms & 24 bath, approx. 5K SF guest penthouse, caretaker house, 2-bdrm guardhouse, 10 car garage & parking for 80. The biggest zero edge pool in BH perfectly frames the extensive grounds & views. Additional property on private street also available separately."

It's only called the "Wallingford Estate" because it's on Wallingford Dr. The owner builder of the current home was Jeoung Lee. I do see a Jacob Wizman as the owner when it was being built. The architect was Richard Schwartz. It was built by Dover Hills Construction. Engineer was Leon Iancu. 

More recent photos from the MLS. 

















It was originally built in 1997-2000 and listed for sale in 2016 for $29,000,000 as 8 bed, 15 baths, 22,000 sf. The RealAVM value is $2-4 million :-D There was another home built there in the 70's which replaced one built 1947 by A.C. Pillsbury. That was a caretaker's house and a barn. The newer home was in French Provincial style and was built for Ilhie and Jeoung Lee, Paul D. Jeoung . The home was 124' x 106' with an unfinished basement and subterranean garage. I think they illegally added basement size to home size. They call it a basement because it's cheaper, easier to get permits but it's not legally gross living area. There is an ADU which is the caretaker unit which was once a storage barn. Just found a permit where they converted the basement to an ADU or at least tried to.

2019 permit for FULLY SPRINKLERED TWO STORY ACCESSORY LIVING QUARTERS W/ ATTACHED GARAGE. IRREG SHAPED BUILDING 132'-4" X 113'-3". I believe it was built previously and just permitted at this time.





It's in a homeowners association and is accessed off the end of a cul-de-sac. GPS 34.11887000139121, -118.43406722770074 APN 4382-009-005 . Tract is PM 1768 Parcel B.

Below are the basic plans for the home. They added foundation pilings years after the home was built. May have been an issue because property is in an earthquake fault with shale and clay. It's near the Hollywood fault line in a landslide and liquefaction zone. That's probably why it wasn't really built until more recently when finances and engineering made sense.

This is the previous listing when it was French Provincial. The house looks the same size. I don't see a certificate of occupancy for any new size added to the home. I think it's still a 20,000 or so sf home with a caretaker residence, pool house and basement. That size is never added to the legal main dwelling size. I think the home may have just been remodeled. I'm still looking at permits most of which are under the Hutton address.
