Brad Pitt has listed his gated Malibu beach house for $13.75 million.
The view home he shares with actress Angelina Jolie sits on 1.26 blufftop acres with a tennis court, a lap pool and access to the beach. Features include walls of glass doors, a walk-in refrigerator/freezer and three fireplaces. The house has four bedrooms and four bathrooms in more than 4,000 square feet.
The pair are reported to live mostly in France but do own houses in Los Feliz and New Orleans.
Pitt, 47, will follow his starring roles in "Inglourious Basterds" (2009) and "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" (2008) by playing Oakland A's general manager Billy Beane in the forthcoming "Moneyball."
Jolie, 36, won an Academy Award for her supporting role in "Girl, Interrupted" (1999).
Public records show Pitt bought the Malibu property for $8.41 million in 2005. He did not respond to requests for comment.
Ellen Francisco of Coldwell Banker, Malibu West, is the listing agent, according to the Multiple Listing Service.
She'd be tickled pink by a sale
Three-time Grammy winner Pink has put her Sherman Oaks home up for sale at $4 million or for rent at $8,500 a month.
The gated Spanish-style house, built in 1946, has hand-hewn double entry doors and a two-story foyer. The 4,434-square-foot home has four bedrooms and five bathrooms. The nearly three-quarters of an acre property includes an infinity pool, a grotto-style spa tucked behind a waterfall and a barbecue pavilion.

Storyteller's home changes hands
The longtime family home of film director and producer Sydney Pollack and his wife, Claire, has sold in Pacific Palisades less than two months after it was listed at $7.85 million. The sales price was reported as $7,694,000 at BlockShopper.
Built in 1940 and '41 and designed by Wallace Neff, the 5,200-square-foot main house retains such signature Neff details as tall chimneys, thick walls, an oval dining room and French doors in many rooms leading to gardens. There are four bedrooms and 51/2 bathrooms.
Claire Pollack, who has an architecture degree, added windows and skylights, turned the attic into a screening room and built a two-story, 1,200-square-foot guesthouse that she used as an office. It contains a living room, one bedroom and 11/2 bathrooms.
The park-like site of more than three-quarters of an acre includes 50-year-old magnolia, ficus, birch and liquidambar trees, an herb garden, a gazebo, a sunken fire pit, an oval saltwater pool with spa and a koi pond outside what was Sydney Pollack's office.
