Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis expand $10M beach house after mudslides

Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis are undertaking a substantial expansion of their $10.1 million beachfront property in Carpinteria, California. The couple, who purchased the property in 2017, plan to add a 2,146-square-foot, two-storey extension to the existing 2,359-square-foot main residence. Upon completion, the expanded home will offer around 4,505 square feet of living space, nearly doubling the original size.

In addition to the increased indoor space, the renovation will see the removal of a separate day cottage that previously served as an Airbnb rental. The couple's plans also include creating a swimming pool, an inset spa, a pool deck, a boardwalk, and a trellis, along with landscaping and exterior lighting improvements.

The proposed changes are part of a broader redevelopment following severe flooding and mudslides in the area between December 2022 and March 2023. While the timing of the project does not confirm that the expansion was a direct response to the natural disaster, it does mark a significant transformation of the couple's California coastal retreat.
