“Breaking Bad” Star Aaron Paul Is Selling His Spanish-Style L.A. Home for $2.2M

Once home to Brad Pitt, this 1931 West Hollywood property is topped with a rooftop terrace perfect for enjoying sunset views of the L.A. skyline.

A foyer near the entry leads into the home’s main living areas—including a spacious family room, kitchen, and dining room. Original exposed beams line the ceiling throughout.

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.

    The Triangle House The characteristic of the narrow, steep hillside plot is its tapering, triangular shape. The view sweeps far and wide over an extensive, natural landscape towards the valley. The layout of the stretched building follows the property line. Surrounded by small residential streets, the building is closed to the hill side, thus forming its back. Here the visitor enters the house on the ground floor, which is the middle level of three, consisting mostly of an airy and spacious area, which is the center of family life. Cooking, eating and living are combined here, zoned only by a freestanding fireplace. This all-round glazed room is sun-drenched all day and opens out to a directly adjacent pool and terrace providing a beautiful view of the surrounding nature. At the tip of the house there is a small workplace, which, like a look-out, opens out to the front of the house. Viewing it from the outside, this narrow side of the building appears like a tower, which proudly stands out as if it is aware of its imposing effect. In contrast, the long side of the house facing the valley is inviting, open and wide. It is remarkable to note how the facade is bent at various points and the building view is accentuated by these carefully folded planes. The basement of the house is accessed from this side. One enters a very generously planned garage, which is tucked away into the ground. A gym is situated towards the west and a family wardrobe towards the east, through which you reach the stairs that take you directly to the ground floor. The private areas, which are located on the first floor, are also completely glazed and offer a spectacular view, bordered by mountains on the horizon. The parents’ bedroom open out onto an exclusive terrace.

  • Outlook Shelter

    Finding reprieves of green and calm amid the chaos of New York City is no simple task. Governors Island, an 172-acre island just off the southern tip of Manhattan, has filled that need in recent years with a 43-acre public park filled with rolling hills, historic structures, and even a zipline. It’s only a short ferry ride from downtown Manhattan or Brooklyn’s Pier 6 to reach this car-free oasis. Instead of settling for a mere day trip, though, Collective Retreats encourages lingering for a while with its newest endeavor, the Outlook Shelter. Open from May through October, Governors Island combines lush parkland, easily bikeable paths, art installations, nap-inducing hammocks, and trendy food and drink outlets. Even with annual events like the Jazz Age Lawn Party and the Rite of Summer Music Festival packing crowds, Governors Island was devoid of overnight possibilities until summer 2018. That’s when Denver-based Collective Retreats opened the seasonal Collective Governors Island, a menagerie of rustic, stylish tents—some tricked out with private baths—featuring beds wrapped in high thread-count linens and Turkish towels.
