One of Hollywood\u2019s most durable marriages<\/a> is moving on to a new chapter \u2014 and the house that witnessed it all just hit the market for $10.5 million.<\/p>\n

Sarah Michelle Gellar and Freddie Prinze Jr. have listed their longtime Mandeville Canyon estate in Los Angeles, a sprawling traditional-style home in Brentwood where the couple spent more than a decade raising their two children.\u00a0<\/p>\n

They purchased the property in 2013 for $6.1 million, a year after the birth of their son. Their daughter followed, and the 7,318-square-foot house became the backdrop of their family\u2019s life.<\/p>\n

The couple met on the set of the 1997 horror film \u201cI Know What You Did Last Summer.\u201d<\/p>\n

The couple\u2019s story began in 1997 when they crossed paths on the set of \u201cI Know What You Did Last Summer.\u201d\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

Gellar was simultaneously launching what would become her defining role in \u201cBuffy the Vampire Slayer.<\/a>\u201d <\/a>They didn\u2019t start dating until 2000, and married two years later.\u00a0<\/p>\n

More than two decades on, they remain a rarity in a town that chews through marriages like a script. They later shared the screen again in \u201cScooby-Doo\u201d (2002) and its 2004 sequel.<\/p>\n

The house itself bears the stamp of their partnership. Built in 2006 on a third of an acre with rolling lawns, it features five bedrooms, six bathrooms, a book-lined library, a formal dining room and a grand living room anchored by a fireplace.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Listing agent Cindy Ambuehl of Christie\u2019s International Real Estate Southern California said Gellar made it her own from the start.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cSarah has a phenomenal design eye, so she had her own designers come in to pick out furniture and wallpaper and draperies,\u201d Ambuehl told Mansion Global <\/a>in an interview.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The couple also left their mark with additions over the years, most notably converting the attic into a game room and teen hangout complete with a gym and a projector.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThey spent a ton of time there,\u201d Ambuehl said. \u201cThey\u2019d have movie nights up there, and there\u2019s a gym up there as well.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Outside, the grounds include an entertainment patio, a barbecue area and a resort-style pool with a waterfall.<\/p>\n

Mandeville Canyon, known for its seclusion and celebrity cachet, has attracted the likes of Gwyneth Paltrow, Harrison Ford, Dr. Dre, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Kendrick Lamar.\u00a0<\/p>\n

After briefly floating the property as a rental at $60,000 a month in early 2025, the couple has now opted to sell. Cristian Cruzio Studio<\/p>\n

Ambuehl noted that residents tend to plant roots and stay put.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThe people who live here stay for a long time,\u201d she said. \u201cYou\u2019re transported out of LA, and you\u2019re not quite sure where you are. You have rolling hills and massive oaks and sycamores, and there\u2019s only one way in and one way out. You\u2019ll see people on horses, people cycling and people hiking.\u201d<\/p>\n

Before putting it on the open market, the couple tested demand by listing the home as a rental at $60,000 a month this past spring, according to Redfin. They have since purchased a newly built home off-market elsewhere in Los Angeles.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey love the house and loved raising their kids in Mandeville,\u201d Ambuehl said. \u201cIt was just time for the next phase of their life.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"One of Hollywood\u2019s most durable marriages is moving on to a new chapter \u2014 and the house that…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":673038,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[57],"tags":[230,30354,2356,236,2865,30770,48656,88,12503,1506,3031,10021,1170,1349,12505],"class_list":["post-673037","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-architecture","tag-buffy-the-vampire-slayer","tag-california","tag-celebrities","tag-celebrity-couples","tag-celebrity-homes","tag-celebrity-real-estate","tag-entertainment","tag-freddie-prinze-jr","tag-hollywood","tag-los-angeles","tag-luxury-real-estate","tag-real-estate","tag-residential-real-estate","tag-sarah-michelle-gellar"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/673037","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=673037"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/673037\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/673038"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=673037"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=673037"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=673037"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
