Jolie-Pitts Building Oaks Compound?
LuxuryProperty.com reported this week that Brad Pitt has purchased another home in The Oaks – bringing his total to four houses in the gracious little enclave next to Griffith Park. Here’s the scoop:
This time he bought a 1,534-square-foot home in the Los Feliz area of Los Angeles. It’s adjacent to several properties that Pitt already owns. This 1932 two bedroom, one bath home has just a small 0.15 acre lot.
In case you aren’t familiar with The Oaks, its a neighborhood of winding, hillside streets between Beachwood Canyon (really, starting east of Canyon Drive) and the Park. Many of the streets are practically in the park, but the whole area feels very private and secluded. The streets don’t really lead anywhere, so the only reason to be there is if you live there, or are stalking the Jolie-Pitts.
The blog also gives a rundown of the other houses he owns nearby, giving him close to 1.5 acres…
- A 5-bedroom, 1915 craftsman-style house with 5,338 square feet (bought in 1994)
- A 2,454-square-foot home adjoining the first (bought in 1996)
- A 1,653-square-foot home, also adjoining (bought in 1998)
Homes in The Oaks used to be out of mere-mortal price range, but oh how times have recently changed. OK, not that much. You still need to be shopping past the million-dollar range. But if you can afford that, it’s a beautiful area. Here’s a few places that would make you neighbors with Hollywood’s favorite tabloid family:
- This is a 3/3.5 that’s open this Sunday. It even has a name, as a truly fancy house must! It’s “La Serena,” and its a new Spanish compound by architects Offenhauser/Mekeel. Yours for $4.750 million.
- Over on Spring Oak (yes, most of the streets are Oak something), there’s this 3/3 with 2,612 feet for a bargain $1.399 million.
- Back on Wild Oak, this 4/5 is also a newer construction, in the “Andalusian” style. It’s listed at $3.2 million and has 3,443 square feet.
- And here’s a “major reduction” to $1.549 million on Live Oak. It’s a modern 3/2.5 with 2,000 square feet.
