Actress Jessica Capshaw of “Grey’s Anatomy” fame and her husband, Honest Co. co-founder Christopher Gavigan, have sold their longtime home in Santa Monica in an off-market deal for $5.75 million, according to real estate sources not authorized to comment publicly on the deal.
The Spanish Colonial-style home, with four bedrooms and four bathrooms, sits on a tree-lined street in the affluent North of Montana neighborhood.
During Capshaw and Gavigan’s ownership, the 1927-built house underwent a down-to-the-studs renovation while a dilapidated detached garage was transformed into a guesthouse, according to a 2011 profile in Cambria Style. An outdoor banquette and a volcanic fire pit were introduced in the backyard, which has eco-friendly synthetic grass. Near the guesthouse, there’s decking and a narrow swimming pool.
