According to Variety, the renovated three-story mansion was built in the 1830s. It has five bedrooms and three-and-a half bathrooms. A separate guest house features one bedroom and and one-and-a-half bathrooms. 7,645 square feet total.
There are marble fireplaces, an elevator, spiral staircase and a small swimming pool. Oh, and two parking spaces — one for my ’09 Mazda 3!
The Pitts paid $3.5 million in December 2006 after Hurricane Katrina. The couple plans to stay involved in the city’s Lower Ninth Ward through the Make It Right foundation, which builds homes for communities in need.
