Hot Property: Megan Fox and Brian Austin Green decouple from Toluca Lake home
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.
The master suite has his-and-hers bathrooms, a pair of walk-in closets and a lofted bonus area. There are four bedrooms and six bedrooms in 6,710 square feet of living space.
Outdoors, mature oaks and olive trees fill the 1-acre setting. A saltwater swimming pool, a spa, a fire pit and a 563-square-foot pool house with a kitchen are within the grounds.
They bought the house two years ago for $3.35 million, records show.
For sale in Sherman Oaks is a 2,500-square-foot home owned by the couple since 2012. The single-story Traditional has an open-plan great room, kitchen and dining area. A den/office, three bedrooms, two bathrooms and a powder room complete the floor plan.
A stacked-stone outdoor fireplace, a koi pond and a waterfall highlight the grounds.

Renowned fashion designer Bob Mackie has put his home of more than a decade in Hollywood Hills West on the market for $2.175 million.
The ranch-style house on a corner lot was built in 1962 and has five bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms in more than 3,400 square feet of living space.
The home features a living room with a midcentury-style rock fireplace, a formal dining room with built-in shelves and an office. A burnt orange backsplash and island countertop lend pops of color to the eat-in kitchen.
One of two master suites has adjacent built-in bookshelves, a sitting area and French doors that open to a trellis-topped sitting area.
A patio patterned in herringbone brick, a swimming pool and drought-tolerant landscaping make up the one-third-acre grounds.
