Former Formula 1 champion Jenson Button and his wife, interior designer Brittny Button, have successfully sold their renovated Mediterranean-style house in Calabasas, California, for $7.625 million.
Sale Details
The sale, closed for slightly less than the asking price of $7.9 million, was recorded on Tuesday through the multiple listing service. This marked a relatively swift transaction for the luxury property, situated in a sought-after, celebrity-populated neighborhood within greater Los Angeles. Remarkably, the six-bedroom mansion spent just a month on the market before entering into a contract in mid-February.
Property Background and Renovation
Purchased by the Buttons in 2021 for $3.7 million, records indicate, the property underwent a significant renovation led by Brittny, whose design firm, Button Atelier, is based in Los Angeles. Over a span of 18 months, Brittny transformed the 1980s-era home, which required extensive cosmetic enhancements. Previous owners had occupied the residence for three decades, leaving behind the challenge of renovating a space previously inhabited by numerous pets and host to vibrant gatherings in the 1990s.
Renovation Highlights
Brittny's vision for the property embraced its Spanish-style architecture, preserving and accentuating its distinctive features. Notable improvements included the incorporation of adobe-style elements in the kitchen, bar, and primary bedroom, as well as the addition of a protective low wall surrounding the pool, crafted from the same material. Images of the renovated home showcase its evolution, including a revamped pool area, utilization of reclaimed materials, and contemporary finishes.

While specific details regarding the buyer remain undisclosed, a deed for the property sale has not yet been made available online, according to Mansion Global's report.
