EXCLUSIVE: Jennifer Aniston Begins Renovations on Lavish $7.25 Million Mansion Next Door to Her Existing Bel-Air House — See the Photos

Jennifer Aniston's sprawling $7.25 million property just began renovations.

The Friends star purchased a mansion next to her longtime Bel-Air home in California and has big plans for the large estate.

Although the house's previous owners recently remodeled and resurfaced the pool, the 56-year-old is draining the pool and having the tiles removed. Aniston also ordered the removal of the tiles around the pool, along with the grass and shrubbery.

The TV star's building team ripped out the eco-friendly solar panels from the roof as part of the major construction.

Aniston reportedly plans to treat the new property as a guest house. According to building permits submitted with the Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety, she has permission to remodel three bathrooms and the kitchen.

As it currently stands, the 4,853-square-foot home is modeled in a classical French Riviera-style with dark mahogany units and cupboards. It features five bedrooms and five bathrooms for future visitors. She has the option to bridge her two properties together if desired, although this renovation choice has not yet been confirmed.

Aniston's recent housing project comes amid security concerns from earlier this year. In May, Mississippi native Jimmy Wayne Carwyle was charged with stalking the celeb and ramming his car into the front gate of her house. Although the Golden Globe winner was home at the time, he did not come in contact with her, as a security guard stopped him before the police arrived.

The 48-year-old pleaded not guilty to felony stalking and vandalism.

On October 4, Aniston's lawyer, Blair Berk, alleged that Carwyle has been harassing and stalking the actress for two years and made several failed attempts at physical contact with her.

The lawyer said Carwyle "traveled thousands of miles" over a year ago "after sending thousands of messages" that indicated "his delusions and intentions to not just make contact with Ms. Aniston, but to commit criminal wrongs against her, sexual violence against her." She alleged that Carwyle wrote he "would be unabated by doctors or others or FBI intervening."

Judge Maria Cavalluzzi is thinking about sending Carwyle to a mental health treatment facility instead of imprisoning him. She acknowledged that Aniston's fear is "very real." However, the judge noted that mental health professionals who have assessed Carwyle do not think he is a danger to society. An alternative treatment plan would involve community-based housing and support services.

Carwyle is still in jail with a judge's order not to contact or get close to Aniston.

There will be another hearing later this month before a final decision is made.
