A Neff, but enough is enough

"They bought the refurbished Wallace Neff-designed Beverly Hills home for about $13.5 million in 2001. (Neff, "architect to the stars" from the 1930s to the '60s, has an avid following among Hollywood's current generation.) The pair then spent two years working on the French Normandy house, built in the '30s for actor Fredric March."

"Realty agents who have seen the house report it has some high-end features: a screening room with 35mm equipment and black leather seating; Brazilian mahogany floors; a stainless-steel kitchen; and an art studio with skylights. The lacquer finish on the white living room walls was likened by one to the glossy surface of a Ferrari."

"The couple's tastes in decor are among their differences. She likes comfy, he likes modern, among other styles -- his Los Feliz home, which he restored, is a Craftsman. Pitt is known to have an obsession with architecture."

Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt have listed their Beverly Hills estate for $28 million as part of their divorce settlement. The couple purchased the Wallace Neff-designed French Normandy home for approximately $13.5 million in 2001 and spent two years renovating it, though they only lived there for one to two years. The property features high-end amenities including a screening room with 35mm equipment, Brazilian mahogany floors, a stainless-steel kitchen, an art studio with skylights, three guest suites, a pub with glass walls, a pool, spa, and tennis court. The couple's differing design preferences—she favors comfortable styles while he prefers modern architecture—influenced the home's aesthetic. Both have since relocated to Malibu and maintain additional properties in Hollywood Hills.
