Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck are preparing for the birth of their second child by purchasing a $16 million house in the Brentwood neighborhood of L.A., California, Usmagazine.com has learned.

The 9,900-square-foot traditional-style home sits on nearly an acre of property and includes 7 bedrooms, 7 baths, 6 fireplaces, a brick wine cellar, a library and a 3-car garage.

The master bedroom features his and hers master bathrooms. Affleck's is designed with dark marble; Garner's is with amber tile.

The actress, 36, is five months pregnant with the couple's second child. She and Affleck, 35, are parents to 2-year-old daughter Violet

The estate – which has a large pool, pool house and outdoor fireplace – will be completed by the time Garner gives birth.

There is also a large lawn, seating area and a deck with a built-in barbecue.

The house is designed by Brentwood residents Steve and Brooke Giannetti.

The couple's new neighbors will be Ricki Lake and Tobey Maguire.

The couple have been basking in the glow of her pregnancy.

Affleck's pal, director Kevin Smith told Us last month that the couple were "looking for a bigger house now.

"[Ben] came over last week and told me, 'I'm having another baby!'" he said. "He's a good dad, man."

Affleck himself said in June: "We're very happy. Things couldn't be better. We're kind of taking it easy and just kind of enjoying a little downtime at home."
