Sofia Vergara likes to have a visual reminder of her “young and fresh” years.
Vergara gave Architectural Digest a tour of her Los Angeles home for its March issue. In a video interview with the outlet, the “Griselda” actress invited viewers into her lavish closet in her Beverly Hills mansion, which houses some “very special” items, including a nude photo of Vergara.
“This is where I really live: in my closet,” Sofia said in the video. “This is where I spend most of my time. It's like a little girl's dream.”

In June 2023, Vergara and her ex-husband, Joe Manganiello, put their home on the market for $18 million. The property was for sale in July 2022 for almost $20 million.

“I loved working with Ohara. She saved my life because I was at a crossroads,” Vergara said in the Architectural Digest video. “It was, 'I'm going to hate this house or I'm going to love this house. What am I going to do? I don't want to move here because I don't think things are going to turn out the way I wanted them to.'”
Aside from her closet, Sofia likes her expansive backyard.
“When I found this house, it was horrible. It was like a castle in Transylvania,” he said. “But when I came out and saw this garden, I knew that was where I wanted to live. This outdoor area is like an extension of the house. The most special area of the house.”
In December, Vergara was embroiled in a legal battle with a home contractor over renovations to her Los Angeles home.
Sofia had issues with Reside Custom Homes before the company decided to sue Vergara for $1.7 million, her attorney Marty Singer told Fox News Digital in December.

“My client filed claims against the contractor, Reside, several months before this misleading lawsuit was filed,” Singer said in a statement. “Sofía Vergara's claims were for significant overcharging by Reside, poor and negligent workmanship, and lengthy delays in obtaining damages in excess of $5 million.”
“We are confident that my client will prevail in this dispute.”
The contractor stated that most of the work was completed in December 2022, but Vergara commissioned more renovations. The additional work took another three months to complete, court documents alleged.
Reside Custom Homes claimed the company advanced the money for the additional work and Vergara agreed to pay them back. However, the “Modern Family” star allegedly never did, according to the contractor.

Court documents claimed Vergara told the contracting company he had approved a $900,000 invoice and alerted his money manager to pay.
Now, Reside Custom Homes is suing Vergara for the amount he allegedly owes: $1,700,492.64.
The lawsuit is still ongoing.
