Jennifer Aniston puts finishing touches on $22 million mansion … See photo

The star-studded enclave of Montecito is soon set to welcome another A-list resident: Jennifer Aniston.

The “Friends” alum, 56, forked out $14.8 million ($A22 million) for Oprah Winfrey’s old residence in the tiny California town back in September 2022, the New York Post reports.

In the time since, the actress has been busy adding fancy new fixtures to the four-bedroom property, including an in-ground swimming pool.

New aerial photographs appear to show the renovations in their final stages, sparking speculation that Aniston may soon make the Montecito pad her main home.

Since 2012, Aniston’s primary address has been her swanky $US21 million home in Los Angeles — but she wouldn’t be the first A-lister to leave LA.

Last year, Gwyneth Paltrow offloaded her home in Tinseltown to make the move to Montecito, following in the footsteps of a slew of stars, including Cameron Diaz and Adam Levine.

Meanwhile, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have called Montecito home since 2020.

Paltrow has been paling around with the Duchess of Sussex in Montecito. The fast friends — who apparently had not met until earlier this month — were seen sitting in the “Sliding Doors” star’s kitchen in a social media video posted last week.

Aniston and Paltrow are known to be close, so it’s possible that the “Horrible Bosses” actress may soon become close to Markle, too.

Because the transaction took place in an off-market deal, interior photos of Aniston’s new pad haven’t been made public.

Per a NY Post 2022 report, the Mediterranean-style abode spans 1.03 acres and features ocean views.

And while Winfrey offloaded the property to Aniston, she still has a home in the area.

The former talk show host owns a 1860 sqm mansion in the area that is set on 26.7ha of lush land.

Winfrey acquired the home back in 2012 for $30m. She has referred to the estate as the “Promised Land.”
