When Sofia Vergara first laid eyes on her sprawling Los Angeles mansion, it was far from love at first sight. The award-winning actress has revealed that the property’s grand architecture, complete with towering columns, sweeping arches, and ornate detailing, initially reminded her of a scene from an old European castle rather than a contemporary celebrity residence.
Speaking to Architectural Digest, Vergara said her first impression was that the mansion resembled a “castle in Transylvania.” Despite her reservations about its dramatic design, there was one standout feature that convinced her to look beyond the exterior. The way the home opened up to the surrounding landscape immediately caught her attention and sparked her vision for what the property could become.
That vision ultimately led Vergara and her then-husband, actor Joe Manganiello, to purchase the prestigious Beverly Park estate for $26 million in 2020. Situated on approximately 1.85 acres in one of Los Angeles’ most exclusive gated communities, the luxury property offers privacy, elegance, and resort-style living.
The estate’s centerpiece is a massive 17,100-square-foot main residence, designed with grand living spaces and expansive indoor-outdoor connections. The property also boasts a range of luxury amenities that reflect the lavish lifestyle associated with Beverly Park, a neighborhood known for housing some of Hollywood’s biggest stars.
Before Vergara acquired the home, the estate had already undergone extensive renovations. Its previous owner was former San Francisco Giants baseball star Barry Bonds, who had significantly upgraded the property during his ownership.
According to reports, the estate includes a stunning villa-style main house, a two-storey guesthouse, a large swimming pool, spa facilities, and a sports court. The combination of luxury amenities and expansive grounds has made the property one of the standout residences within Beverly Park.
Since purchasing the mansion, Vergara has transformed the residence into a sophisticated and welcoming home that reflects her personal style while preserving many of the property’s grand architectural elements. The result is a blend of old-world elegance and modern luxury, creating a space that feels both impressive and comfortable.
Today, what was once a house she compared to a castle has become one of the actress’s most admired real estate investments, showcasing the glamour and exclusivity of Beverly Hills living.
