Brad Pitt Expands His LA Digs

Despite rumors of his packing up and leaving the states, Brad Pitt seems ready to stay put in good ol' LA. In addition, Pitt owns homes in Malibu, Calif.; Santa Barbara, Calif.; and New Orleans, La.

Mr. Pitt recently paid $1.2 million for a modest home (1500 square feet) adjacent to his compound in the Los Feliz area of Los Angeles.

"Pitt’s compound, which now totals nearly 1.6 acres and contains four homes, consists of the following properties:

–The compound’s historically significant, five-bedroom, 5,338-square-foot main Craftsman-style house, which was built in 1915 and which Pitt purchased in 1994 for $1,700,000. That house sits on nearly an acre (a 43,268-square-foot lot), according to public records.

–An adjoining 2,454-square-foot house on a 0.29-acre (12,458-square-foot) lot, which Pitt purchased in 1996 for $380,000; as part of the 1996 transaction, Pitt also purchased an adjoining, 0.03-acre (1,307-square-foot) strip of vacant land that he also continues to own.

–Another adjoining 1,653-square-foot house on a small, 0.13-acre (5,606-square-foot) lot, which Pitt purchased in 1998 for $475,000.

–The property he just purchased (described above)."

I guess they need, like, 20 houses...1 for each kid, or something.
