Peek Inside Brooke Shields' Cozy Chalet-Style $7.4M Pacific Palisades Home
Brooke Shields sold her home last year, giving fans a chance to see how she has been living through real estate listing photos.
Grand Entrance
Visitors at Shields' former home must pass through the one-car gate to get access to the property. The house has a rustic look unique in L.A., and while the half-acre property is relatively private and secluded, it's clear that the brick driveway was made to be big enough for guests.

From this side, the scope of this three-story house is already clear, while the practical construction starts to come into focus as well. This brick porch leads to an exterior staircase to take you up if you're not heading into the first floor. As it's not the side with a view, it doesn't really invite one to sit and stay awhile.
prevnextFirst Floor
Heading inside, the first floor is all towering beams painted white with double-height ceilings in some places. The hardwood floors are made of Douglas fir and the area is wide open for sitting around the fireplace, at the dining room table, or in the sunny windows. A baby grand piano helps fill the floor space.
prevnextWrap-Around Terrace
The porch from the entryway continues around the outside of the house, and on the other side, you can see a staggering view of the neighborhood and the other houses perched on hills.
prevnextKitchen
The first floor also includes a full chef's kitchen with everything a dedicated cook could want within reach. More access to the terrace from here ensures proper ventilation and a breeze to beat the oven's heat on a hot day.
prevnextGathering Areas
More amenities on the first floor include a media room, a wet bar and more seating areas. The house practically begs to be filled with friends and family.
prevnextLibrary
Moving up to the second floor, you'll find that the cathedral ceilings from the foyer stand over a home library with built-in shelves. There's a desk to show where a workstation could go as well as a leather armchair to show where a quiet reading nook could go.
prevnextSecond-Floor Suite
On either side of this reading room are the second-floor bathroom and the accompanying bathroom, both of which are extravagant. These makeup part of the house's main suite, though there is plenty more to see.
prevnextWalk-in Closet & Sauna
The "closet" in this main bedroom is essentially a room all on its own. There's enough space here for an A-lister to keep all their best formalwear and then some on hand. Meanwhile, beyond the main bathroom is a fully functioning sauna.
prevnextBedrooms
Again, there are five bedrooms in total in this house. Here's a look at the ones scattered throughout the house beside the main suite up above.
prevnextLaundry
A laundry room with a capacity for plenty of guests is tucked away at the back of the house, though it is tasteful enough that it need not have been hidden. There is also a huge storage area that was photographed with old posters of Shield on the walls for the full effect.
prevnextOutdoors
Finally, this is the area below the terrace with a swimming pool, a hot tub and an outdoor shower for those warm L.A. afternoons.
prevnextLooking Up
From the pool area, you can get an idea for the size of the house and the ways in which it seamlessly tied all these spaces together, creating a place that is at once perfect for hosting or just for wiling away the days at home.
