In the elite enclave of Brentwood—the same neighborhood where Gwyneth Paltrow recently set a $22 million benchmark—Brazilian supermodel and former Victoria’s Secret icon Adriana Lima has officially closed the chapter on her Los Angeles residence. After listing the property in August 2025, Lima and her husband, film producer Andre Lemmers III, have sold the contemporary estate for $12.96 million.
The sale marks a strategic relocation for the couple, who purchased the newly built home for $12.35 million in 2022. As the couple transitions to the East Coast, the transaction reveals a home that was as much about “vintage Parisian charm” as it was about “Fort Knox-level security.”
Architectural Curation: Parisian Light in a Modern Frame
Spanning approximately 7,500 square feet, the estate is a masterclass in modern luxury, but it was the personal, antique touches that ultimately secured the buyer.
- Vintage Parisian Soul: In an unconventional design choice, Lima and Lemmers replaced standard modern lighting with antique Parisian street lamps in the kitchen. The fixtures were so central to the home’s identity that the buyers reportedly purchased them for an additional price outside of the real estate contract.
- The Living Layout: The property features a five-bedroom main house and a one-bedroom guesthouse, all situated on a rare, wide 0.34-acre lot that offers a sense of horizontal scale rarely found in this part of Brentwood.
The Invisible Shield: Laser Beams and AI
While the interiors lean toward “Parisian chic,” the property’s defense systems are purely futuristic. Designed for one of the world’s most recognizable faces, the security infrastructure includes:
- AI-Integrated Cameras: Smart surveillance that distinguishes between residents and potential intruders in real-time.
- Laser Perimeter: A sophisticated laser-beam network surrounding the property, providing a digital “tripwire” that ensures absolute privacy and protection.
Amenities of the A-List
The estate functions as a private resort, equipped with every staple of the Los Angeles luxury lifestyle:
- Entertainment Hub: A state-of-the-art home theater and specialized wine storage.
- The Backyard Oasis: A pristine swimming pool serves as the centerpiece of the outdoor space, framed by the home’s sleek, contemporary lines.
The New York Transition
The sale follows Lima’s 2024 confirmation to The Wall Street Journal that her family intended to move to New York City. By offloading the Brentwood property for nearly $13 million, Lima joins a growing list of West Coast celebrities migrating back to the cultural and fashion capital of the world. For the buyer, represented by Steven Kirshbaum of The Agency, the draw was simple: a “turn-key” modern build with historical character in L.A.’s most coveted zip code.
