The house, which is being sold as part of the couple's divorce settlement,

is empty of furniture, the paper reported. The stars, who lived there

less than two years, have moved on to separate residences in Malibu.


Pitt, 41, and Aniston, 36, bought the 10,000 square foot (930 sq metre)

-plus Wallace Neff-designed home for about $13.5 million in 2001.

They then spent two years refurbishing it.


The house was built in a French Normandy style in the 1930s for actor

Fredric March. Realty agents who have seen the house told the paper that

it has some high-end features, including a screening room with film

equipment and black leather seating; tennis courts; imported mahogany

floors; a stainless-steel kitchen; and an art studio with skylights.


The white living room walls are covered in lacquer akin to the shiny

surface of a sports car, the paper said.

The master suite features his and hers sitting rooms, one of which was

turned into a large closet. The ground level features a bar with glass

walls opening to an outdoor fireplace, pool and spa.

Pitt and Aniston were married in a star-studded Malibu wedding in

July 2000. In January 2005 they announced that they would separate

after 4 1/2 years of marriage. They filed for divorce on March 25,

citing irreconcilable differences.

Meanwhile, rumors swirled that Pitt had taken up with his

"Mr. & Mrs. Smith" co-star, Angelina Jolie, 30.

Recently, Pitt and Jolie have been photographed together with

Jolie's adopted children in Canada, where Pitt is filming

"The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford."
