Just a year after spending a whopping $8.7 million on an under-construction mansion, Formula One great Jenson Button and fiancee Brittny Ward have put their Los Angeles mansion back on the market. Located just north of LA's Bel-Air Country Club, Button bought the mansion last year and spent quite a fortune in dressing up the family-sized home to his liking. The 40-year-old is looking to make a slight profit on his investment and has listed the lavish mansion for sale at $10.5 million.
The listing for the enormous 8,000 square foot estate has been held by Cindy Ambuehl at Compass. Described as a hybrid between vintage and contemporary design, the exteriors of the mansion was built by AMG Capital. LA-based firm Black Lacquer Design can be credited for the tasteful interior work. The estate includes 6 gracious bedrooms, including one uber-luxurious master suite, six full bathrooms and two half bathrooms.

Some of the amenities inside Jenson Button's enormous home include a home theatre, parlour room, dual island gourmet kitchen, BBQ/lounge area, black marble fireplace, and a zero-edge infinity pool & spa. The former F1 world champion's home also has climate-controlled wine storage. Button installed a home gym in the mansion complete with a treadmill, cross trainer, bike and weights. Last but not the least, the exterior boasts a landscaped lawn featuring Pennsylvania Bluestone and brick in hardscape.
The F1 legend is not new to the business of turning a property. The 40-year-old previously bought a Cape-Cod style mansion for $6.1 million in Brentwood, California, before quickly selling it two years later for $6.2 million.
