Amid their highly publicized divorce, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have begun to sell off their marital assets. Among the first to go: a home in New Orleans that sold for $4.9 million.
Dating back to the 1830s, the French Quarter row house had been listed a year ago for as much as $6.5 million. Pitt and Jolie bought the property in 2007, following Hurricane Katrina, for $3.5 million.
The brick traditional-style house has a front balcony and dormer windows that overlook the historic area.
The nearly 7,650 square feet of living space includes scaled formal rooms, an updated kitchen, a laundry room, five bedrooms and four bathrooms. Venetian plaster walls, custom-designed marble mantels and crown moldings are among the interior details.
A grand staircase and an elevator connect the three-story home. There’s also a guesthouse and a two-car garage.
Pitt, 52, became involved in efforts to rebuild New Orleans’ Lower 9th Ward following Hurricane Katrina in 2005. He will appear in the upcoming historical drama “Allied” alongside actress Marion Cotillard.
Jolie, 41, in 2004 won the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences’ Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award. This year, she lent her voice to the animated comedy “Kung Fu Panda 3.”
