Tom Brady and Gisele Bundchen Are Selling Their L.A. Mansion That's Less Than A Year Old

Tom Brady and Gisele Bundchen had their fill of living in Los Angeles after less than a year.

Brady put up for sale his 14,300 square-foot French country-style mansion in Los Angeles for $50 million, according to TMZ.

It took four years and $40 million to build the estate.

The limestone home sits on four acres in Brentwood and has six bedrooms, a koi-filled moat, infinity pool, garden and billiards room, according to Boston.com.

The New England Patriots quarterback and supermodel wife reportedly want to spend all of their time in Boston and are currently building a home in Brookline.

They also own a $14 million condo in New York City, according to Boston.com.

In 2013, Architecture Digest interviewed Brady and Bundchen about the California home and both were happy with it.

"I like simplicity and coziness," told the magazine. "I want to live in a place that feels like a real home, where you can put your feet up on the couch and just relax."

It was a home perfect for visiting family members.

"Gisele and I have eight sisters between us, and there are lots of kids. We built this house as a sanctuary for our family — a place where we can enjoy being together."

Prior to when they were married, they frequently visited Southern California during Brady's offseason. During a visit in 2009, the two liked the view from what was then and empty lot so Brady bought it and construction began on the mega mansion.
