Sydney Sweeney’s packed property portfolio already includes homes in Florida, Idaho, and Southern California. Now word on the street has it the A-list actress might be dipping her toes back into the real estate waters, this time with a decadent Hollywood Regency-style spread in the prime lower Bel Air neighborhood of Los Angeles.
The Euphoria and The White Lotus star, who is particularly fond of buying old houses and restoring them, was recently spotted taking a look-see at a vintage residence that is now for sale at a smidge under $15 million, according to the New York Post.
“This property is one of the great homes of Los Angeles, a cultural landmark that hasn’t been on the market in 80 years and for decades served as a social hub for LA high society,” said listing agent Josh Flagg of Compass in a press statement.
Ideal for entertaining, the tented red-and-green den spills out to a covered patio.

Built in the 1930s, the dwelling was long owned by oilman David Daniel “Tex” Feldman and his philanthropist wife, Jayne, who were known for entertaining high-profile guests from legendary French singer Édith Piaf to Joan Crawford, Joan Collins, and Candy Spelling. Both have since passed away and the home has remained in the family, still looking much as it did when its Tom Douglas-designed interiors were featured in Architectural Digest back in 1951.
Set beyond a lengthy gated driveway on three parcels spanning nearly two acres, along the 15th green of the Bel Air Country Club Golf Course, the pale pink structure includes a nine-bedroom main residence with roughly 8,200 square feet, plus a two-bedroom guest apartment atop the pool house and a separate guesthouse. There is also a circular motor court with a three-car garage, a pool, and a tennis court that looks in need of some TLC.
The gold primary bedroom includes a bespoke dressing room with glass-front closets.

The front door opens into a classic entrance hallway sporting a vaulted and arched ceiling, marble floors, red-and-white toile wallpaper, and a green-carpeted and white steel-railed staircase. From there, a formal dining room has a black-and-white checkered floor, terracotta-hued walls, a crystal chandelier dangling from a metallic copper ceiling, and walls of glass overlooking the greenery-encased grounds. A fireside living room flows out to a covered terrace.
Elsewhere is a kitchen equipped with a butler’s pantry, a study clad in wood paneling, a den flaunting a red-and-white tented ceiling and another tufted bar, and a gold-accented primary bedroom spotlighted by a large dressing room. There’s also a sprawling poolside ballroom/screening room that has a sitting area with a decorative coffered accent wall and a floor-to-ceiling tiled fireplace at one end and a tufted bar and a celebrity photo wall on the other.
The rectangular pool sits alongside a pool house with guest quarters up top.

In addition to a $13.5 million waterfront estate in the Florida Keys and a lakeside abode next door to her mother’s hideaway in Idaho, the 28-year-old Spokane native also lays claim to a $3 million Tudor-style home in the Westwood area of L.A. that she picked up in 2021 and a $6.2 million tear-down residence in Bel Air.
Sweeney, who is now dating music manager Scooter Braun after ending her engagement to producer Jonathan Davino earlier this year, is currently working on a biopic about boxing legend Christy Martin.
