Looks like it's time to update the Celebrity Real Estate Heat Map: A-lister of A-listers Jennifer Aniston has reportedly scooped up new mansion for herself in Bel-Air, Calif. The pristine 8,500-square-foot four-bedroom was designed in 1965 by noted Los Angeles modernist architect A. Quincy Jones; after first hitting the market for $29M in 2008, the house was reduced to some $24M, at which point Aniston swooped in and scored it for even less: $21M. And as if this lucky lady didn't already have enough of them, here are yet some more perks: more than three acres of land, views of the city and ocean, a pool, a guesthouse, a wine cellar, and—last but certainly not least—a vineyard. Let's not forget to look inside: those distinctly midcentury-feeling interiors boasts gleaming wood floors, full-wall expanses of glass, and some pretty stunning fireplace detail.

Aniston's had quite an impressive year in terms of real estate. The actress listed and then sold her spectacular Ohana estate, a Beverly Hills beaut that was once featured on the cover of Architectural Digest. She swiftly found another Beverly Hills estate in which to shack up with new beau Justin Theroux. Let's not forget her East Coast accommodations, either: her new SoCal new pad is located just a plane ride away from her nest overlooking Central Park. In short: life looks pretty fine when you're her.

On and Maybe Off the Market: Sleek and Sexy Clarendon Heights Abode Hits the Market and Takes an Offer

Thursday, May 12, 2011, by Sally Kuchar 140 St Geramin has barely been on the market (asking $5,000,000) and its sale is already pending. Let's take a look around. The 5-bed, 7-bath, 5,701 square foot (you read all of that right) contemporary mega house used to be a 2-story, 2,220 square foot house built in 1960. Then SF Modern developed and designed it and what you see above is the end result. For some fantastic and insightful commentary, check out the before and after photos on SF Modern's project page. The house is packed with all the bells and whistles you'd expect from a property of this caliber: unobstructed views from all three levels; an elevator; gym; wine cellar; solar panels and "eco-friendly features." Dwell photo shoot, anyone?
