, an heiress to the fortune of tasty microwave snack Hot Pockets, which were invented and popularized by Naim’s father David Merage and uncle Paul Merage in the 1980s. In 2002, the brothers sold Hot Pockets’ parent company Chef America to Nestlé for $2.6 billion; at one point, Forbes listed the Merage clan as America’s. Naim is married to real estate developer Shawn Naim; the couple have owned a $6.3 million Santa Monica home since 2016.
It remains unclear if Witherspoon and her family ever actually occupied the Brentwood property — if they did, it wasn’t for very long. The house sat vacant for months before renovations began, and the “Legally Blonde” star did a substantial amount of work to the home. A quick comparison ofto the current listing reveals she gave the English Country-style mansion a facelift, with creamy new paint and brighter trim both inside and out.
The house sits on 3.1 verdant acres deep in Mandeville Canyon, though it lies down a private lane off the main neighborhood drag. Even from that whisper-quiet lane, the house is totally invisible, set behind big driveway gates and a long, tree-shaded driveway. There’s also a separate service entrance and driveway — also gated — for vendors and staff.
Built in 1993, the rambling structure offers seven bedrooms and 10 bathrooms in more than 10,000 square feet, though there aren’t any shots of the bedrooms included in recent photos. Still, the listing assures us that all the bedrooms offer ensuite baths, including the two guest rooms on the main floor. Upstairs are four “family” bedrooms, plus a deluxe owner’s suite secluded in its own “owner’s wing,” and complete with dual baths and dressing rooms.
Outside, the magical grounds include vast grassy lawns and mature oak, pine and sycamore trees. The lap pool is surrounded by a large concrete patio, ideal for entertaining, and there’s also a limestone bar area with seating for eight al fresco diners. In addition to the three-car attached garage, the motorcourt and wide main driveway can easily accommodate another dozen automobiles. Naturally, the entire estate is secured and controlled by a state-of-the-art Crestron smart-home system.
