Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's former New Orleans 7-bedroom home hits auction block

A home in the French Quarter of New Orleans, previously belonging to Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, is going up for auction this month.

A mansion in New Orleans' French Quarter that previously belonged to Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie is going up for auction this month.

The impressive townhouse, originally purchased by Pitt and Jolie in 2006, will be sold in an online auction on Dec. 11 with a starting bid of $1 million.

Interluxe Auctions, the platform hosting the sale, describes the home as having seven bedrooms, five bathrooms and two half-baths in a press release obtained by Fox News Digital.

It features "a gourmet kitchen, a luxurious owner's suite, an elevator, stunning marble fireplaces, a private courtyard with lush landscaping, and a three-story guest house."

There is also a balcony that overlooks the historic New Orleans neighborhood.

Pitt and Jolie owned the residence for over 10 years, and it served as their home in the area while they visited to work with the Make It Right Foundation, the charity Pitt founded in 2007 to assist in rebuilding homes that were destroyed by Hurricane Katrina.

It was sold by the former couple in October 2016, just a month after Jolie filed for divorce, citing irreconcilable differences. 

The home was later purchased by Paul Allen, co-founder of Microsoft. From 1956 to 1965, it acted as a recording studio for musicians like Little Richard, Ike and Tina Turner, Fats Domino and Sam Cooke.

Located on Governor Nicholls St., the mansion was built in the early 1830s. According to Brigitte Fredy, the certified residential specialist working with the auction platform, it's been restored to provide "a mix of historical charm, modern functionality, and unparalleled privacy."

Fredy said, "As a real estate agent in New Orleans for over 30 years, I understand the distinctive charm and history of this city. Partnering with Interluxe Auctions provides an exciting avenue to connect discerning buyers to this unique property."

President and CEO of Interluxe Auctions Scott Kirk said, "The French Quarter Estate’s blend of history, modern amenities, and prime location make this an extraordinary property. The auction presents a one-of-a-kind opportunity for buyers to own a piece of New Orleans’ legacy."

Pitt and Jolie's former home was originally listed for $5.35 million when it went on the market most recently, and this year, it was named the winner of the national HGTV Ultimate House Hunt in the Downtown Dwellings category.
