Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are placing their three-story French Quarter mansion in New Orleans, Louisiana on the open market with an asking price of $6.5 million. Brad and Angelina bought the mansion back in 2006 for $3.5 million in the hideous wake of Hurricane Katrina.

The 7,645 square feet mansion, which has five bedrooms, five full and three half bathrooms, are finely finished with Venetian plaster walls, custom designed marble mantels and fireplaces, a grand spiral staircase plus and elevator and a "gourmet kitchen with top of the line appliances."

While no interior pictures are available online, the property also has two off-street parking spaces, on site laundry facility and a spacious, private central courtyard with a small swimming pool.

After buying the mansion, Brad started spending a lot of time in New Orleans to help revamp homes in the Lower 9th Ward through his Make It Right foundation. He has also filmed some movies in the city including 1994's "Interview with the Vampire" and 2008's "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button". Most recently, he was spotted in the Big Easy filming upcoming flick "The Big Short".

Brad and Angelina's reps have not commented on whether they plan on buying another home in New Orleans. The pair already have five properties which include an apartment at Ansonia building in New York City, an oceanfront eco-compound just outside Santa Barbara, California, the Chateau Miraval in France, a hideaway in Cambodia and a multistructure compound in Los Feliz.
