The four-bedroom house at 8247 Roxbury Road has quite the star-studded resume. Formerly home to Academy Award–winner Brad Pitt, the 1931 property has served as the main residence of actor Aaron Paul and his wife, Lauren Parsekian, since 2012. The couple is now moving on from the hilltop home, having purchased fellow actor Jim Parson’s home in Los Feliz.

Known for playing the role of Jesse Pinkman in the hit series Breaking Bad, actor Aaron Paul bought the West Hollywood home with his wife, Lauren Parsekian, in 2012. Perched above Sunset Strip, the Spanish-style property provides privacy from the street level.
