Well known for his love and knowledge of design and architecture, Brad Pitt has added a fascinating historical estate to his property portfolio.
Located in Carmel Highlands, California, the actor recently closed on what agents are calling one of the most expensive sales ever in the area, reported the Wall Street Journal. Pitt purchased a Monterey County estate known as the D.L. James House, after its first owner, which was originally built by architect Charles Sumner Greene around 1918. Sited on a rocky cliff, the off-market property was previously occupied for over two decades by late Chicago financier Joe Ritchie who died in February.

Greene, who was an influential figure in the 20th century Arts & Crafts movement, met businessman and writer D.L. James when he moved to Carmel-by-the-Sea in 1916, according to The Gamble House organization. Shortly after, James commissioned the architect to construct a home on a bluff that he’d bought. It took approximately four years, in which James defied elevation logic by insisting the home be built on a steep, challenging plot.
He also opted for locally sourced sandstone and granite instead of wood—because of this, the D.L. James House, later referred to as Seaward, appears as if it’s growing right out of the cliff. The elaborate stonework of the outer walls resembles a medieval castle, while arched windows and an earth-toned-tile roof give it a distinct Mediterranean flair.

The historic home is formatted as a single-level residence, but specific details about its layout are scarce. What we do know is that the interior features carved marble and details of Green’s signature woodwork, speaking to his Arts and Crafts style, and the living areas are open-plan. There’s also an outdoor courtyard.

After James died in 1944, his son, who was also a writer, acquired the property. He lived there with his wife until he eventually passed away in 1988. His widow sold the house in 1999 to Ritchie, who purchased the house for $4.5 million, reported Dirt.
Ever the opportunist, Ritchie made headlines a few years later in 2001 when he tried to build an underground tunnel to access the rocky beach down below. The idea was supposed to replace a staircase that used to be located on the property but had been washed away by the tide. The County Planning Commission greenlit the decision, but the Coastal Commission put the kibosh on the plans somewhere along the way. Whether or not the Ritchie’s were able to proceed with building a secret tunnel is something we suppose only Pitt will know. More

Just a month after Greta Garbo’s New York City apartment listed for $7.25 million, another one of the actresses’ former homes has come onto the market.
Located in the prestigious Beverly Crest neighborhood, a hillside mansion where the Hollywood star once resided is now available for $12 million. The adobe-style home was custom built for Garbo in 1937 and completely transformed roughly 70 years later by current owner and interior designer Nicole Sassaman, reported the Los Angeles Times.
Listed by Compass, the trophy property spans 4,675 square feet and offers six bedrooms and six bathrooms, in addition to a knife-edge infinity pool. Sassaman purchased the estate in 2003 for $1.4 million and quickly got to work remodeling the historic residence—doubling its floorplan and modernizing the interiors, while also restoring some of its original features. She told Elle Décor in 2009 that the whole process took roughly a year and a half and that she “worked to meld the worlds of yesterday and today together.”

As it stands, the exterior maintains its distinct Aztec flair with flowing, curved lines and a stucco facade. Large windows and full walls of glass help to bring the dwelling into the 21st century. And because Sassaman didn’t have paparazzi to worry about, she was able to tack on a second story.
The interior is rich and inviting, sporting natural materials such as wood and rough-cut stone. Common areas on the first floor include an eat-in kitchen, multiple dining rooms and an open-concept living room. A crowning component is the home’s infinity pool which can be accessed via glass sliders in the living room. However, Sassaman admitted the installation was no easy feat. “Because the home is positioned on the edge of a hillside, the pool had to be built on the hill slope in order to create the illusion that the house was sitting on water.” Two of the six sleeping chambers are also located on the first floor.
The property’s infinity-edged pool was painstakingly built onto a hillside.

Upstairs, a curved fireplace from the original Garbo abode can be found in the newly constructed primary suite, just one of the elements that Sassaman chose to hang onto. The second story has two additional bedrooms, while the sixth and final is situated beneath the home’s garage and offers its own private balcony.
Although Garbo’s former home has undergone extensive renovation since the days she inhabited it, its lofty price tag suggests that the property has entered a new Golden Age.
