After scarcely two years of ownership, Reese Witherspoon is ready for her next real estate chapter. The Oscar-winning actress/producer/all-around media media titan and her husband Jim Toth have bent and snapped a $25 million price tag onto their beautiful Los Angeles estate, which is located deep in the bucolic wilds of Brentwood’s Mandeville Canyon.
For now, Witherspoon appears to be cautiously testing the proverbial waters, and the house is therefore being a tad camera-shy — the current listing displays only a handful of photographs, though it notes that “additional photos and property website [are] available upon request to qualified buyers.” Translation: Witherspoon will show you hers (house), if you show her yours (bank statements).
But if there isn’t sufficient buyer interest, more photos should soon trickle out to the public. Or maybe Witherspoon will change her mind about selling the place altogether?
After all, the property is perfect for a high-profile celebrity seeking residential privacy and seclusion. Tucked away on a private lane off the main Mandeville Canyon drag, the house sits behind big gates, ancient trees and a long, winding driveway, with the entire place completely invisible to the public. Built in the early ’90s, the country English-inspired estate remains much the same elegant estate it always has been, albeit now with some pricey contemporary updates. For those updates — and two years of skyrocketing property values — Witherspoon is eyeing a hefty return against the nearly $16 million she originally paid.

Inside, the foyer’s marble floors are all-new, as are the grand staircase’s wrought iron railing and the wooden stairs. The living room is much lighter and brighter than before, thanks to a big splash of white paint and new white oak floors….
