The 11,173-square-foot home, originally built in 1934 for two-time Oscar-winning actor Fredric March as one of the first movie star mansions in Beverly Hills, went on the market last year listed at $56 million.

It finally sold for $32.5 million in an off-market deal, more than double what Aniston and Pitt originally paid for it.

It’s nestled into just over an acre on a quiet cul-de-sac with gated entrances on two streets, and boasts five bedrooms and thirteen baths between the main house and a one-bedroom guest house. Formal rooms are large with the dining room capable of seating 20 guests and the bar room featuring its original fireplace, eat-in gourmet kitchen and gym. The lower-level living room and cinema room open to the swimming pool terrace surrounded by pretty, tropical and mature greenery.

Soon after they bought the home in 2001, they began a three-year renovation replacing the kitchen floor with heated marble, designing and installing a pub with floors sourced from a 200-year-old French château and adding a private screening room. They also added a tennis court and pavilion with a guest house on the upper level. In January of 2005, their separation was announced and the home sold in 2006 for $26 million to hedge fund executive Jonathan Brooks, who completed the renovation and added some features of his own. Having owned the home for 14 years and not counting the cost of his own changes, his profit on this sale was approximately $6 million. Take a tour of the plush property below:
