In the stunning mansion where their bond was cemented, Barbra Streisand is celebrating 26 years of marriage to her adored husband. It’s interesting to note that the famous performer had to wait 11 years to buy her ideal home, where the happy pair has shared many moments.
For many years, Barbara Streisand, an 82-year-old legendary actress, and her 83-year-old famed actor husband James Brolin have shared a home with their pets. But purchasing the house wasn’t a simple process. To reach their goals, the couple had to put in a lot of effort.
When Streisand was residing nearby, she first spotted the house. But because her boyfriend at the time didn’t like it, she was unable to purchase it. Her inability to pay for the house at the time was another obstacle preventing her from making the purchase.
The pair now resides in Streisand’s ideal house. They recently celebrated their 26th wedding anniversary on July 1st in this same house. To commemorate the significant occasion, Streisand shared a cute image of the two cuddling in a side embrace on Instagram.
“We’ve been together for 28 years today, honey. and today marks 26 years since our marriage! I cherish you. B ❤️ “The “Funny Girl” actress said in her caption.
Streisand acknowledged that the futuristic gray front of the house gave off an air of “contraption,” making it less than opulent. But as soon as she stepped inside the house, she fell in love with its “rustic charm.”

The Broadway diva wanted to buy the mansion as soon as she saw it and fell in love. She would have to wait many more years before she could finally call the house home, but sadly, this was not in the cards for her just yet.
At that moment, Streisand’s manager informed her that she wouldn’t be able to afford the house she had fallen in love with until she sold the ranch she had been staying on.
She also disclosed that her then-boyfriend believed the house she adored was too near to the cliff it was built upon. Although she made the decision not to purchase it, Streisand acknowledged, “I was so forlorn when I found out that it was sold to someone else, and they had started renovating it.”
With time, Streisand’s affection for the house did not wane. She could not even bring herself to buy her ideal home; in fact, she never stopped thinking about it. She revealed that she had strong feelings for the house.
Because of their proximity, she even purchased a home one house away from her cherished residence. The elderly couple who lived in the house in between the one Streisand desired and the one she owned became friends with her after that.
She disclosed that she had purchased the elderly couple’s house after they moved out with the intention of demolishing both residences and erecting a single, large house for herself on the two-acre plot.
And now, at last, fortune was on her side. After the couple in the house she desired filed for divorce and the property’s value dropped, Streisand was able to afford to buy the property and move into her new home in 1995. She expressed her gratitude for the house, saying she didn’t have to build it or worry about little things.
The House Is Picture Perfect
Despite having to wait a long time for her dream house, Streisand has lived a great life in it since she moved there nearly thirty years ago. The house, according to her, honored craftsmanship.
Streisand shared the house for the first few years with her then-husband Brolin and their dog, Samantha. Samantha sadly went away a while ago, but she did leave Streisand with two adorable puppies.
