Share via

Actors Megan Fox and Brian Austin Green, who are in the process of divorcing, have begun to unload their real estate assets. The estranged couple recently sold a home for $2.6 million in an off-market deal and put another on the market for $1.299 million.

On the sale side, Fox and Green parted ways with their ranch-style house in Toluca Lake that was originally part of an estate owned by crooner Bing Crosby.

Built in 1936 and remodeled in 2008, the home features raised ceilings with exposed beams, rows of skylights, a library and a rec room. A wall fireplace divides the open-plan living room and kitchen, which has a center island topped with Australian opal granite.

They bought the house two years ago for $3.35 million, records show.
