Jenson Buttons Races Out of Bel Air Mansion
Mark David Not even a year ago, dashing 38-year-old retired Formula One race car driver Jenson Button, engaged about two years ago to former Playboy model Brittny Ward, ponied up $8.7 million for a not-yet-completed mansion on leafy, little-known canyon cul-de-sac just north of L.A.’s fearsomely upper-crust Bel-Air Country Club. Now completed and dressed up in high style, the family-sized mansion is back up for sale at $10.5 million.Bookended by prominent, street-facing two-car garages, the roughly 8,000-square-foot mansion’s fairly innocuous exterior and traditional layout, built by AMG Capital, belie charismatic, sumptuously appointed interiors worked over by the color- and glam-favoring L.A.-based firm Black Lacquer Design.
