Brad Pitt’s residence in Los Angeles’ Los Feliz district is officially changing owners, marking another significant shift in the Academy Award winner’s impressive real estate portfolio.
The Fast Move
The hillside three-bedroom, two-bathroom property, which the actor purchased for $5.5 million in 2023, is currently in escrow following an off-market deal that generated considerable interest among potential buyers, according to CinemaBlend.com. What makes this sale particularly intriguing isn’t just the celebrity factor, but the timing and circumstances surrounding the decision.
The 1960-built mid-century modern home, designed by Neil M. Johnson, features the architectural hallmarks that define the era: terrazzo floors, a cantilevered roof, floor-to-ceiling glass windows, beamed ceilings, and distinctive cobalt-blue carpets. The property also boasts luxury amenities, including a redwood hot tub, sauna, and a striking double-faced fireplace. Its elevated position provides sweeping city views that have long made Los Feliz a coveted neighborhood for entertainment industry professionals.
However, the sale comes in the wake of a disturbing incident that occurred this past June.
NBC reports three suspects broke into Pitt’s home on June 26, climbing over the fence, breaking a window, and ransacking the residence while the actor was away promoting his “F1: The Movie” film, which was released the next day.
“The actor was not home because he was on the press tour for his project on the 2025 movie schedule, F1,” according to initial reports. Security cameras at the property proved instrumental in identifying the perpetrators.
The burglary investigation recently reached a significant milestone with the arrest of two individuals connected to the break-in. Eighteen-year-olds Jaquory Arman Watson and Damari Zair Charles, who authorities believe are part of a larger burglary ring targeting California homes, are currently being held at the Theo Lacy Facility in Orange County.
Additional charges related to the Pitt burglary are expected this week, while two other juveniles connected to the ring have also been taken into custody, though their specific involvement in this case remains unclear.
Despite the dramatic circumstances, sources close to the situation reveal an unexpected twist: Pitt had already decided to sell the Los Feliz property before the break-in occurred. The decision to part ways with the home was reportedly already in motion when the burglars struck, suggesting the sale stems from strategic real estate planning rather than security concerns.
This transaction represents just one piece of Pitt’s evolving property empire.
In August 2025, he acquired a substantial Spanish-style residence in the Hollywood Hills for $12 million from The Killers’ guitarist Dave Keuning and his interior designer wife. The 8,385-square-foot home, built circa 1989, spans six bedrooms and includes architectural highlights such as a double-height foyer, arched corridors, black steel French doors, and a tin-panel ceiling with intricate floral motifs. The property also features panoramic views, a pool, vegetable gardens, and a brick motor court.
Pitt’s most significant property acquisition in recent years remains his historic Carmel Highlands estate, purchased in 2022 for approximately $40 million, according to House & Gardens.
Known as “Seaward” or the D.L. James House, this remarkable 1918 Arts and Crafts-style residence was designed by Charles Sumner Greene and appears to emerge naturally from the cliffside overlooking the Pacific Ocean. The granite and sandstone construction, arched windows, marble details, basement library, and staff wing make it one of California’s most architecturally significant private residences.
Meanwhile, the legal battle over Château Miraval in Provence, France, continues to unfold. The 1,200-acre estate, which Pitt co-owned with Angelina Jolie after their 2012 purchase for roughly $60 million, remains embroiled in litigation following Jolie’s controversial sale of her share to a Russian oligarch’s subsidiary.
Despite reaching a divorce settlement in December 2024 after eight years of legal battles, their dispute over the vineyard estate persists, with Pitt maintaining his opposition to the sale and continuing his restoration of the property’s recording studio, now known as Miraval Studios.
As Jolie prepares to sell her own historic Los Angeles property and relocate abroad once their youngest twins turn eighteen, Pitt’s real estate moves suggest a parallel evolution in lifestyle priorities, balancing security considerations with strategic investment decisions across his diverse portfolio of properties spanning from California’s coastline to the French countryside.
