by interiorarcade

Beverly Hills is a place for celebrities. There are a lot of beautiful and lavish celebrity homes in this vicinity. The below 10,000 square feet  gated private house too belongs to some Hollywood celebrity. This same house was once owned by Jennifer Lopez. The house has a very interesting inside,  it does not have too much of store rooms and all its major rooms are aligned off the central gallery. A well equipped gymnasium and lot of outdoor sports activities like tennis court, basket ball court, squash, swimming pool and many more are spread over the two acre estate.
