BuzzMarch 24, 2020

Word on the street is that ‘Grease’ actor John Travolta has just said bye-bye to his longtime estate in Brentwood, California. He quietly sold off his 2.35-acre compound to no other than music executive Scooter Braun, who’s currently embroiled in a feud with pop star Taylor Swift.

Braun will now get to enjoy the 10-bedroom Spanish-style mansion and all the luxurious amenities that come with it. Spanning an expansive 9,100 square feet, the property was built in the late ‘40s and actually retains some of the gorgeous details it was originally designed with. There are the beamed ceilings, hand-painted tiles, and Saltillo tile floors which has been adorning the massive home for decades. Other notable features of the two-story abode include numerous stone fireplaces found all over the home, a wet bar, a home gym, and even its own screening room. Travolta and his wife Kelly Preston reportedly added four bedrooms as well as a half-bathroom to the home when they bought it. Currently, it has four master suites

Elsewhere on the property is an enormous swimming pool with an adjoining spa, a number of dining patios, and a treehouse. Completing the estate are two garages, a tennis court and a sprawling lawn surrounded by a set of old trees.

Controversial Buyer

The feud between the two public figures began in June 2019 when Swift posted a scathing message about Braun on social media.

According to sources, Braun paid a pretty penny to acquire the mansion shelling out a whopping $18 million in an off-market deal. This is certainly an enormous jump from the original $3.7 million the celebrity couple spent on it when they bought it in the late ‘90s.

The deal comes amidst the music executive’s notorious ongoing feud with Swift over allegations of bullying and issues on the ownership of the singer’s masters. The controversy has since grown to involve other big names within the music industry such as singer Justin Bieber, former Disney star Demi Lovato, and reality star-turned-model Kendall Jenner.

New Era

The villa has six bedrooms and stunning views of the mountains nearby.

Back to the Travolta-Braun real estate transaction, sources are calling it the start of a ‘new era’ for Travolta and Preston. It’s worth noting that the couple just bought a Mediterranean-style villa in nearby star-studded Calabasas in 2019. Their new property is relatively smaller than their former home, spanning around 7,500 square feet. It packs on some pretty luxurious design elements and features though. The estate is reportedly decked out with terra-cotta tiles, a three-tiered fountain and a slew of tall palm trees. The villa has nabbed by the couple for $2.65 million. Aside from their most recent purchase, the duo also owns residential properties in states like Florida and Maine.
You’ll be amazed how much John Travolta sold his Brentwood mansion for to controversial music exec Scooter Braun.
