Inside Chris Pratt And Katherine Schwarzenegger’s $20 Million Pacific Palisades Marvel

Like it or not, custom homes tell on their owners. The language is spatial, not literal, but it reads cleanly. A wall-to-wall library? You’re in a reader’s house. A backyard putting green? Someone chases par. And then the curveballs. Disco lights in the shower? Let that one keep its secrets.

When the owner is a celebrity, the code is even clearer. In the custom Orlando estate of basketball giant Shaquille O’Neal, doorways naturally clear seven feet. In Toronto, it’s no surprise that Drake’s personal mansion includes a professional recording studio.

By that logic, what should surface in Chris Pratt and Katherine Schwarzenegger’s custom Pacific Palisades home? For fans of the famous couple, some answers write themselves. Pratt, a leading man of mega-franchises, would surely need a screening room.. He has one. It sits just off the main living room, close enough for film study. And Schwarzenegger, a New York Times best-selling author, would likely need a refuge for writing. She does. An office, wrapped in built-in units and reading nooks off the back patio, waits for writing and research.

As the home of one of the world’s most bankable movie stars, it is also safe to assume the amenities run deep. They do. A glass wine cellar opens to the formal dining room. The pool is saltwater with a Baja shelf and swim jets, paired with a hot tub for warmer soaks. A half basketball court lines up for quick games. The pool cabana works like a small house, with a full kitchen and pizza oven beside a barbecue setup.

Other spaces echo the couple’s known priorities. Upstairs nods to Pratt’s well-documented fitness regimen with a gym and a full suite of recovery rooms. There is a spa, cold and hot plunge, steam, and sauna. The floor plan, with six bedrooms and wide gathering zones, matches their family-forward reputation.

One final assumption ends the guessing. Privacy. The estate sits deep inside a small, gated enclave high in the hills, then adds its own gates for good measure. Tall hedges wrap the nearly one-acre parcel, layered to keep wandering eyes out while leaving the view intact. On clear days, the horizon reaches the Pacific and the Queen’s Necklace. At night, an arc of coastal lights threads the bay.

With the property now offered for sale, assumptions are no longer required.

Completed in 2021, the design charts a course through California casual and then deviates in interesting ways. The palette runs warm and tactile. Stone and plank in calm, neutral tones. Generous panes of glass disappears, allowing the interior to spill outdoors without fuss.

There are also moments that resist the expected. Entry corridors rise into groin vaults that lend ceremony to daily passages. In the kitchen, metal frames suspend panes of glass to form airy cabinetry over the counters. The great room opens to a reported fifty-foot ceiling capped by an atrium skylight. Sun tracks the walls across the day. On clear afternoons, birds cast quick silhouettes over the floor.

It’s in this quiet that the house starts telling its own story. The theater nods to a life on screens, yet plays just as well for family movie night. The workout room above the garage might point to a Men’s Health cover—or just as easily invite ballet slippers. Spaces for gathering, inside and out, are designed to be filled, easily and often. No acting credits required. Because no matter how storied the last owners, the plotline ahead belongs to the next.
