Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s former New Orleans mansion, rich in history and modern luxury, is up for auction starting at $1 million.
The former New Orleans home of celebrity power couple Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie is back on the market, this time set for auction with a starting bid of $1 million. The couple, who captured global attention during their twelve-year relationship, purchased this historic mansion in the French Quarter as part of their commitment to the Make It Right Foundation, aimed at rebuilding homes after Hurricane Katrina. Their separation in 2016 led to the sale of the property, which is now again seeking a new owner. Constructed in 1828, the 7,703-square-foot mansion boasts a storied past, including serving as the recording studio for Cosimo Matassa. Here, legends like Fats Domino and Ray Charles laid down tracks that shaped the music industry. The residence was also owned by Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen. A careful restoration in 2017 preserved the 19th-century Parisian elegance while updating it to modern standards.
The property features a gated driveway, a stylish foyer with harlequin tile floors, and a formal living room with a marble fireplace. The dining room, adorned with Venetian plaster walls, opens to a balcony through French doors. The gourmet kitchen is equipped with high-end appliances and marble finishes, and the owner’s suite offers luxury with a white marble fireplace and a spacious marble bathroom. This mansion, spanning over 36 feet of sidewalk in the French Quarter, includes a three-story guest house, multiple balconies with views of the skyline, and a serene courtyard with a fountain and pool. The neighborhood’s historic significance, vibrant culture, and proximity to iconic locations like the French Market and Bourbon Street add to the allure of this property. Other celebrities with homes in New Orleans include Lil Wayne, Emeril Lagasse, Nick Cage, John Goodman, and Sandra Bullock.
