Angelina Jolie's Potential New Digs

Angelina Jolie has made an offer on the historic Cecil B. DeMille Estate for just under the $24.95 million asking price, and we can see why this stunning piece of Los Angeles real estate caught her eye. Although a source confirms to PEOPLE that the actress hasn't made it official with the 11,000-sq.-ft. home, the spectacular property that once belonged to iconic director DeMille is surely fit for Hollywood’s finest.

Famous History

The Beaux Arts Style mansion was first built in 1913, and purchased by DeMille in 1916 for just under $28,000, according to Variety. The producer-director, who was behind religious epics like The Ten Commandments and Samson and Delilah, resided there until he died in 1959.

Charlie Chaplin was said to have lived in the house next door to DeMille. When the silent film star moved out, DeMille acquired the property and connected it to his via a long breezeway. DeMille reportedly used the additional space for production offices and screening rooms.

Family Dinner

DeMille’s granddaughter, Cecilia Presley, was born and raised in the home, and told Architectural Digest that “dinner was usually a family affair” for her grandfather. “But we could invite anyone to see the movies that were shown every night but Sunday,” she says.

Cottage Kitchen

The current owners reportedly purchased the Chaplin residence when they snatched up the DeMille estate some time in the late 1990s, but eventually sold it to television producer John Wells.
