Angelina Jolie Once Said She’d Leave Los Angeles the Second Her Kids Turned 18. They Did on July 12, and Her Estate Is Now for Sale for $29.85 Million
She bought the 2-acre Los Feliz estate in 2017 for $24.5 million, a neighborhood record, and kept it mostly for custody reasons. The roughly 7,500-square-foot main house has six bedrooms and ten bathrooms, and the grounds also hold a guest house, pool house, fitness studio, tea house, and a detached garage with its own security station. Cecil B. DeMille owned it for decades starting in 1916, and with her twins now 18, the last thing tying Jolie to Los Angeles is a sale that hasn’t closed.
The 2017 purchase price was $24.5 million, a record at the time for a single-family home in the Laughlin Park enclave of Los Feliz. Jolie bought it shortly after her split from Brad Pitt, and now she’s asking $29.85 million for it.
Backgrid released aerial views of the property on July 17, giving the first overhead look at the grounds since the listing went up in early May. Inside the main house are a curved original staircase, a step-down living room with arched French doors, a mahogany-paneled dining room, and a floor-to-ceiling library. Outside there’s a renovated Old Hollywood pool with arched fountains, rose gardens, century-old trees, and elevated views toward the Hollywood Hills and Griffith Observatory. The estate later passed through owners including novelist Richard Grossman before Jolie took it.
She’s been open for years about why she stayed in the city at all. In a 2024 interview with The Hollywood Reporter she said, “I grew up in this town. I am here because I have to be here from a divorce, but as soon as they’re 18, I’ll be able to leave.”
Knox and Vivienne, her twins with Pitt, turned 18 on July 12. That birthday ended the California custody terms that kept her in Los Angeles, and now all six of her children are legal adults.
Sources say she’s preparing a move abroad, with Cambodia, where she holds citizenship and keeps a home, Europe, and New York, where she runs Atelier Jolie, all in the mix. The listing agents are Ernie Carswell of Sotheby’s International Realty and Jon Grauman of The Resident Group. The house is still unsold.
