Angelina Jolie is bidding adieu to one of Los Angeles’s most iconic homes. The Oscar-winning actress has officially listed her Los Feliz estate for a cool $29.85 million, as reported by The Wall Street Journal. For prospective buyers, this is a rare chance to own a piece of Old Hollywood magic, once owned by the legendary filmmaker Cecil B. DeMille.
Nestled within the exclusive gates of Laughlin Park, this sprawling 2.1-acre property stands as a testament to Hollywood's golden era. The main house boasts 11,000 square feet of luxurious living space, with six bedrooms and ten bathrooms. Additional amenities include a guesthouse, a pool house, a quaint tea house, and a separate garage complete with a security station. Towering century-old trees and vast lawns encapsulate the property, offering panoramic views of the Hollywood Hills and the iconic Griffith Observatory.
“The estate is a sanctuary of cinematic innovation and social grandeur,” reads the listing, reflecting its vibrant history.
Angelina first acquired this historical gem in 2017 for approximately $24.5 million, following her split from fellow Hollywood star Brad Pitt. Since then, it has served as her primary residence. The timing of the sale coincides with her plans to spend more time abroad, particularly in Cambodia, as her youngest children grow older.
The estate's historical roots run deep in Hollywood lore. Cecil B. DeMille, who snagged the property back in 1916 for a modest $27,893, later expanded it by purchasing a neighboring residence. According to the biography "Empire of Dreams: The Epic Life of Cecil B. DeMille," the famous director even hosted private screenings there. With much of its architectural glory preserved, the estate remains a timeless sanctuary of artistic and social gatherings.
In keeping with its storied past, most interior photos remain elusive, maintaining the estate's allure and mystery. But for those dreaming of a slice of Hollywood history, this property might just be the ultimate treasure to own.
