Jennifer Garner's Tour of Her Stunning Custom Home Has Jaws on the Floor

Jennifer Garner recently opened her custom home for a rare walk-through video tour, and it's a sight for sore eyes.

The 52-year-old actress, who recently appeared on the big screen in Marvel's latest hit, Deadpool & Wolverine , invited a camera crew from Architectural Digest to film a tour inside her custom-built farmhouse-style home in Los Angeles. In contrast to the flashy, glitzy mansions often highlighted in AD 's celebrity home tours, this one-of-a-kind abode radiates down-to-earth charm and is infused with Garner's unique personality!

Jennifer Garner told @archdigest that the home was a passion project between her and the illustrious interior design power couple Steve and Brooke Gianetti.

"Steve and Brooke Gianetti and I have worked together for a long time, and I sat down with them one time and said, 'OK, I know exactly the house I wanna build,' and I described it to him," Garner told AD . "Steve sent me a watercolor of it, and that is exactly the house we built."

The Gianettis specialize in designs that combine the classic organicness of traditional designs with a stylish modern edge. Their style proved perfect for Garner, who grew up on a family farm and wanted to celebrate a love of nature and cozy simplicity in her gorgeous home. Here were a few of the tour's best highlights:

The "Treehouse" Kitchen

Graner, who talks about being a very "private person," was surprisingly thrilled to show off her massive, wood-paneled kitchen.

"Since the day I moved in, this is the first time ever that the counter has been this clean," Garner joked. "Look! It's never gonna look like this again. Please memorialize this!"

Garner wanted her home, and the kitchen in particular, to capture the feeling of "being inside a treehouse," and it shows. The warm wooden detailing from floor to ceiling, combined with the wide open windows and cozy earth tones, came together to create a really refreshing organic atmosphere.

An Eco-Conscious Orchard

Garner's love of nature was celebrated further outside of her home. A cozy library/ hangout room opened up into an expansive garden, where Garner had built an organic vegetable greenhouse and planted an assortment of fruit trees and bushes, including figs, peaches, apricots, and cherries. Despite living in the notoriously arid Los Angeles area, where water is scarce, Garner's private fruit orchard was designed around eco-conscious principles.

"They are all fed by grey water because water is hard to come by in California, and I don't wanna use more than my fair share," Garner explained. "The grey water system is a big tank and it collects all of the water from the washing machine, the dishwasher, and filters it... There's a lot of phosphorous in grey water, for some reason, and I guess fruit trees thrive on it!"

For the Love of Books

Garner and her three children are avid readers, and it shows throughout their home. The aforementioned library was lined with bookshelves from wall to wall, surrounding an enormous blue couch made for curling up and getting lost in a book. Upstairs, a cozy oak-lined reading nook was tucked just off a study room on the landing, beautifully decorated by stained-glass windows .

The home even had a built-in reference to one of the family's favorite book series.

"We're all big Harry Potter fans," Garner explained, opening a cabinet under the staircase to reveal a secret reading area done up in a rich blue magical theme. The room was designed as an office for her 12-year-old son Samuel, but: "Mostly he just hides from me and eats candy," Garner admitted.

The full 11-minute tour can be viewed on the Architectural Digest YouTube channel. Between Garner's infectious enthusiasm and the welcoming, unpretentious aura of her cozy home, it's well worth the watch!
