Gisele Bündchenmay be answering questions about recycling andTom Brady’s bare feet in herVogue73 Questionsinterview, but the supermodel, 37, is also giving a de facto tour of the couple’s unpublished and rarely-seen family home near Boston.
The Bündchen-Brady’sformer L.A. property, which they sold to Dr. Dre for areported $40 million, was published inArchitectural Digestin 2013 in a feature that detailed everything from their walk-in closet to their backyard chicken coop. But the couple’s other houses — they also have a place inCosta Ricaand anapartment in New York City— have never been shared publicly.
Here are 10 things we learned about the couple and their classic Massachusetts manse.
Her Home Office Is Her Happy Place“This is my sanctuary where I spend most of my time,” the supermodel says at the start of her tour. The soaring space that appears to function as a home office for the supermodel, features a small wooden desk, some shearling-covered desk chairs, a central fireplace, and her most prized collection…
She’s a Crystal PersonWhen asked what she collects, Bündchen answers, “crystals!” A selection of sparkling geodes are visible on the built-in behind her desk in the opening shot.

She Loves a Good BookIn the barn, bracketed wall shelves are loaded up with stacks of books. She also reveals one of her favorite tomes,The Mastery of Love(which she gave to every guest ather wedding to Bradyin 2009), and a new recommendation:The Infinite View.
She Has a Backyard BarnAs Bündchen leads herVogueinterviewer through the space, it’s revealed that we’re not in the main house, but a barn annex in her backyard, complete with rustic wood siding, a sliding barn door and clerestory windows.
She Had a Hand in the DecoratingIf she wasn’t a global supermodel, Bündchen says she would like to be an interior designer or an architect. She doesn’t say if she used a designer in this house, but in the couple’s former home they worked with Landry Design Group, and Joan Behnke & Assoc.
It Takes Advantage of the Off SeasonDespite the less than temperate climate, the house flows between indoors and out, thanks to massive steel-frame doors leading out to stone terraces. (The Brazilian-born model is a nature lover, while, she reveals, her husband doesn’t even like to have bare feet.) Unfortunately, they likely spend the most time here during football season, which in New England, means indoor-indoor living.
