When the star‑shaped pair of the Graff family stepped back from their glamorous life, the sale of their Beverly Hills villa became a case study in luxury real‑estate timing. Sofía Vergara and then‑husband Joe Manganiello bought the 11,000‑sq‑ft Tuscan‑styled villa in 2014 for $10.6 million and turned it into a private oasis with a gym, cinema, and wine cellar. The couple listed it for a whopping $19.6 million in July 2022, hoping to recoup their hefty renovation bill, but the property stayed on the market for almost two years.
Inside, the estate feels like a slice of Italian countryside: a stone‑fireplace‑lit living room, a kitchen with a central island and dual sinks, and a spiral staircase that rattles the two levels. Every bedroom comes with its own ensuite, and the primary suite boasts an outdoor patio with a stone fireplace and seating—perfect for sunset wine tastings.
The makeover was a full‑scale redesign by Los Angeles designer Jennifer Bevan, who lifted the ceilings and added dark‑wood details, statement chandeliers, and a rotunda‑topped foyer. The renovation cost a fortune, which is why the sellers were keen to see the price rise back up toward their $19.6 million asking.
After the price dropped to $17.99 million in summer 2023 and again to $13.9 million early 2024, the villa finally closed at $13.7 million on April 25, 2024. The figure sits $5.9 million below the original ask, but $3.1 million above the 2014 purchase price—an interesting middle ground for a Hollywood mega‑home.
For fans of Vergara’s work, the sale offers a glimpse into the personal side of the Modern Family star. While she’s still a judge on America’s Got Talent, her real‑estate moves hint at a new chapter beyond the screen—perhaps a quieter life in a Beverly Park residence or a return to the glam of the city. In the end, the villa’s journey from a $19.6 million dream to a $13.7 million reality mirrors the unpredictable nature of both Hollywood and real‑estate markets.
