And the seller is …
Brad Pitt, who closed on the sale of his Los Feliz Mid-century Modern pad on Friday, The Real Deal has learned.
The Los Angeles home, dubbed The Steel House for its steel frame, was being shopped around by the Oscar winner off market, with an asking price of $5.5 million, according to sources familiar with the deal. The closing price and buyer were not immediately known.
Carolwood Estates’ Marci Kays and Jonathan Mogharrabi, who represented Pitt on the sale, declined comment.
Pitt bought the home from oil heiress and philanthropist Aileen Getty in 2023 for $5.5 million. The trade was part of a swap of sorts, with Getty paying $33 million for Pitt’s Craftsman-style home in the Hollywood Hills.
The Steel House is tucked away on a hill surrounded by palm trees and other landscaping, with three beds and two baths. The property made headlines of its own in June when burglars targeted the residence while Pitt was away.
The actor appears to be doing some fine tuning of his real estate portfolio, with the Carolwood connection handling Pitt’s purchase of a $12 million home in the Hollywood Hills last month. The Killers lead guitarist Dave Keuning and his wife and interior designer, Emilie Keuning, sold the home to Pitt, after originally asking nearly $14 million for the hillside abode. It has six beds and eight baths across 8,400 square feet.
That Hollywood Hills deal highlights the Carolwood agents’ respective ties to colleagues in the entertainment business, with Mogharrabi counting connections to many of the agents and managers at Creative Artists Agency and William Morris Endeavor. Kays, meanwhile, is dialed into the music world.
In June, the duo set a record in Silver Lake with the priciest residential sale in the neighborhood when the five-bed, five-bath home at 1844 Silverwood Terrace closed for $10 million.
Last year, Kays and Mogharrabi closed on about $100 million in sales volume.
