Flurry of Celebrity Real Estate Activity in Brentwood

Actors, musicians, health food millionaires make Brentwood moves

By Chad Winthrop

The past week has seen two notable real estate transactions in Brentwood, with a pair of properties changing hands, including one celebrity selling another celebrity their mansion in an off-market transaction.

As reported by the Los Angeles Times, John Travolta and wife Kelly Preston have sold their Brentwood home in an off-market transaction to Scooter Braun for $18 million. Braun, a grammy-nominated record producer, also owns the house right next door to the property.

The 9,100 square foot Spanish-style mansion features 10 bedrooms, 10 bathrooms, a guardhouse, two garages and a screening room. The house was built in 1949 and showcases Saltillo tile floors, hand-painted tile work and two-story beamed ceilings.

The week also saw multi-millionaires Ron and Shannan Penna, founders of the Quest Nutrition – the health food company that sold for $1 billion last year – buy a new “farmhouse” near the Brentwood Country Club for $4.55 million.

The two-story, five-bedroom, six-bathroom house, built last year, checks in at 4,7000 square feet and is designed by Phil Rezvania and features a chef’s kitchen, wine fridge and screening room.

Stacy White of Compass and Brian Schames of Douglas Elliman listed the property and Laurie Woolner of Keller Williams Silicon Beach represented the Pennas.
