‘One of the Best Homes I Have Seen’: Jennifer Garner Showed Her Big Bathroom with Barn Window – Inside Her LA House

Jennifer Garner’s home, built from scratch, is a reflection of her down-to-earth personality. Inspired by her memories of growing up in West Virginia, the house blends rustic charm with modern practicality, offering an inviting space for her family.

Garner’s Home Leaves Fans in Awe

After Garner’s home tour was revealed, fans expressed their admiration for her beautiful farmhouse. One fan shared, “Her house seems like such a true reflection of her personality. It’s lovely, not overcomplicated, straightforward, but with wonderful little surprises.”

Another fan commented on the home’s cozy yet practical vibe, “This is the kind of house I want! Not fussy or cluttered, but oozing with coziness. We’ll never live in a house as beautiful as this, but we can try to replicate some of its features on a smaller scale.”

One viewer highlighted the thoughtfulness behind Garner’s design, especially when it came to her kids, adding, “So are we not going to talk about how genius it was to incorporate bunk beds with privacy curtains for sleepovers? This is one of the few AD homes that makes sense!”

The home’s orchard and cozy reading nook also captured hearts, with one person gushing, “Her house is lovely, and so is she. The little reading nook charmed me, and her orchard, watered by a gray water system? Gosh, my heart.”

One fan even called it “A family house full of love.” The consensus was that Garner’s home not only reflects her style but also offers inspiration to those who want to bring a touch of warmth and simplicity into their own spaces.

The Farmhouse Vision – Inspired by Memories

The overwhelming praise for Garner’s home is no surprise, considering the thought and care that went into its design. Rather than relying on Pinterest boards or magazine clippings, Garner collaborated closely with designers Steve and Brooke Giannetti.

The actress based the concept on personal conversations with the duo and a watercolor painting that captured her vision. Drawing inspiration from her upbringing in West Virginia, Garner wanted the house to feel historic yet functional for a busy family.

The result is a house that feels like a true reflection of Garner’s past and present—a space full of thoughtful details and practical features that make it a one-of-a-kind retreat in Los Angeles.

Interestingly, earlier this year in July, her ex-husband Ben Affleck was spotted visiting Garner at the house. The visit took place amid his divorce from Jennifer Lopez. It showed that after their separation, the former couple maintained a strong co-parenting relationship.

Garner’s home has truly become a space that reflects family unity and support, regardless of life’s changes. Garner’s farmhouse doesn’t just win over fans with its charm—it also comes with a hefty price tag.

The home, valued at $7.9 million, reflects the attention to detail and quality in every corner. From its spacious interiors to its expansive outdoor spaces, the property blends the best of both worlds into a true family sanctuary.

The Living Room

At the heart of Garner’s home is a spacious living room that welcomes family and friends with open arms. Designed as the largest room in the house, the space is filled with thoughtful details. One of the standout features is a stunning stained-glass window designed by Reed Bradley, a close family friend.

The living room also boasts two custom paintings by artist Rainer Andreesen, the husband of Garner’s former “Alias” co-star, Victor Garber. The room’s large sliding doors that open to the backyard, make it a perfect space for entertaining or simply enjoying the California weather.

Garner loves how the indoor-outdoor flow of the room encourages a connection to nature. However, as much as she appreciates the design, Garner humorously shared that there is one downside to the living room’s easy access to the yard.

“The only problem is if my kids are having their class pool party here or something, it’s hard to keep wet kids out of the house,” she joked. “I have to really just stand guard and say, ‘Get away!’ I’ll look over, and there will be two wet teenagers playing the piano.”

Despite the occasional chaos, the living room embodies the perfect balance of elegance and comfort, serving as a gathering place where family life can unfold naturally.

The Kitchen

Just steps away from the living room, Garner’s kitchen continues the home’s theme of warmth and family-centered design. One feature, in particular, stands out—a dedicated baking station, designed to make family baking sessions both fun and functional.

Garner, who enjoys baking with her children, wanted to ensure this special area was as practical as it was charming. “When I imagined my favorite kitchen ever, I knew it would have an area dedicated to baking,” she shared.

A cozy fireplace offers a place for family and friends to gather. Garner describes the room as feeling like “a treehouse,” with its wood details and natural elements providing a comfortable, lived-in vibe.

Though the actress admits she’s no professional chef, her kitchen gets plenty of use. On weekends, she’s often found cooking for her children, although she laughingly confesses that not everything comes together perfectly.

Overall, Garner’s kitchen is more than just a place to cook—it’s a hub for family life, where love, laughter, and delicious smells fill the air.

Dining Room with a Dual Purpose

Just beyond the kitchen, the dining room offers a space that’s as versatile as it is inviting. Garner and her three children frequently gather here for family meals, but the room serves more than just one purpose. With doors that can close it off for privacy, this room easily transforms into a meeting space when Garner works from home.

“We really eat at home almost all of the time,” Garner shared, emphasizing how much this space is used. But its simplicity doesn’t detract from its functionality. On any given day, the dining room could be filled with laughter over dinner or quietly hosting a work meeting for the actress.

The dining room maintains the same warmth, blending seamlessly with the farmhouse aesthetic. Whether it’s a place to gather with loved ones or to get some work done, this space plays an important role in balancing the home’s sense of comfort and practicality.

A Cozy Library with Access to Nature

Another standout space in Garner’s home is her charming library. Her vision for the library was clear from the start: she wanted it to double as a cozy TV room where her family could gather.

With deep gray-blue walls and a specific couch from BDDW, the library became exactly what she had hoped for—a peaceful retreat. The library opens up to an outdoor garden area, providing a seamless connection between the indoor space and nature.

Garner added a fire pit surrounded by chairs in the garden, all sitting on a bed of clover, which she planted to be environmentally friendly. “It’s supposed to be good for the earth,” Garner shared, emphasizing her commitment to sustainability even in the smallest details.

This area, just outside the library, is one of her favorite places to relax with friends and family, enjoying long chats around the fire. The library and garden together create a space for both solitude and connection.

An Orchard that Nourishes and Honors Her Roots

Stepping outside the home reveals yet another thoughtfully designed space that connects Garner to her roots—her orchard. Garner’s upbringing as a farmer’s daughter in West Virginia is reflected in this flourishing garden, which includes peaches, cherries, figs, and more.

Each tree is lovingly cared for, and the orchard provides fresh fruit for the family and a direct link to her childhood memories. The orchard is sustained by a gray water system, a practical and eco-friendly solution Garner was proud to incorporate.

In drought-prone California, conserving water is important, and this system recycles water from the home to nourish the trees. “All the trees are fed by gray water,” Garner explained, adding that the phosphorus in the water helps the fruit trees thrive.

Alongside the fruit trees, the property also features a vegetable house where Garner grows seasonal produce and herbs, such as tomatoes, kale, and thyme.

The Final Touch – Her Compact Bedroom

Despite the grand nature of many rooms in Jennifer Garner’s home, her bedroom is refreshingly modest. Unlike the large and spacious living areas, Garner’s bedroom was designed to be compact and cozy, prioritizing comfort over extravagance.

“I knew I just wanted something that felt tight, compact,” Garner explained, emphasizing that she didn’t need a huge space for herself. Though small, the room opens up to the backyard through large doors, making it feel more expansive while connecting directly to nature.

Garner loves the peaceful atmosphere this brings, sharing, “I love that I can open these doors at night and wake up to birds.” This connection to the outdoors, with fresh air and morning birdsong, enhances the simplicity and calm of the room.

By choosing a smaller bedroom, Garner allowed herself more room to focus on shared, communal spaces in the home, where her family could come together.

A Big Bathroom with a Barn Window

Connected to the primary bedroom, one of the most unique spaces is Garner’s expansive bathroom. With its barn window, this room brings rustic charm and modern luxury together in one space.

The bathroom’s size and design were intentional, as Garner wanted a room large enough to accommodate her glam squad for red-carpet events while still feeling like a personal retreat. Garner explains that the barn window, a nod to the farmhouse aesthetic, adds a distinct character to the room.

It allows natural light to flood in and enhance the feeling of openness. The design perfectly balances practicality and relaxation, with enough space to feel luxurious but cozy enough to reflect Garner’s down-to-earth style.

One standout feature in the bathroom is a large tree that gives the space an indoor-outdoor feel, blending seamlessly with the natural elements of the home’s overall design.

The Dreamy Bunk Room

While Garner’s home has no shortage of thoughtful and charming spaces, the bunk room is perhaps the most whimsical. Designed with her children in mind, the room is the ultimate dream for hosting slumber parties.

The built-in bunks are cozy and practical, each equipped with privacy curtains that allow kids to retreat into their own space while still enjoying the fun of being together. Garner’s love for hosting sleepovers is evident in this room.

“I love to have kids over for a slumber party, but I’m also a stickler about sleep,” she joked. The bunk room is designed to give kids a space to enjoy their time together while also making it conducive to actual rest.

It also holds memories, as Garner has kept some of her children’s most cherished toys here, from a fake cash register to beloved dolls. These little touches turn the room into more than just a play area; it becomes a space filled with family history, sentimentality, and laughter.

In keeping with the home’s blend of practicality and charm, the bunk room also features a small “office” space for her son, tucked under the stairs. This Harry Potter-inspired nook is where he can hide away and dream, or, as Garner humorously noted, “mostly hide from me and eat candy.”

A Reading Nook for Family Moments

Just a few steps from the bustling bunk room lies a quiet, intimate space where Garner and her children often unwind—the reading nook. Tucked away at the end of the hall, this cozy corner is one of Garner’s favorite places in the entire house.

It was designed with family time in mind, offering a peaceful retreat from the rest of the home. The nook, nestled beside a large saltwater fish tank, provides a perfect spot for the family to gather and enjoy quiet moments together.

Garner’s children often spread out here to do homework, while she takes the opportunity to relax with a good book. There is a stained-glass window in this space, designed to represent a large oak tree with three little owls.

Garner shared a special memory of the reading nook, describing a magical evening when all three of her children joined her there, and they spent the night pulling out old books from when they were little, reading them one after another.
