Katy Perry and Russell Brand finalized their divorce in July 2012, and by most accounts have moved on with their lives Perry dated singer John Mayer for a while, and Brand has been spotted with model Zara Martinin London.

However, a few links to their relationship still remain; namely real estate. Not only do the two own an apartment in New York one theyve had listed for several years but they own another residence in Hollywood Hills that Perry just listed on the open market for $6.925 million.

According to property records, Brand and Perry bought the home, located at 8159 Hollywood Boulevard, Los Angeles, Calif. 90069, for $6.5 million and reportedly never lived there. Perry has been trying to quietly sell the home without officially listing it for quite some time. Sticking it on the MLS as an official sale seems to be her final attempt to dump the property.

Besides the celebrity ownership, the three-acre estate has quite a bit going for it. Built in 1921, the home is near the Chateau Marmont and Frank Lloyd Wrights famed Storer House. Perrys two-story property is gated and private, with 8,835 square feet of living space, seven bedrooms and 11 baths. The property also includes two guest houses, a carriage house and the ubiquitous celebrity-style pool with waterfall.

Theron purchased the home in 2009 for $3.625 million and has had it on and off the market since 2012. Rodeo Realty held the listing, slowly dropping the price from $4.599 million to $3.999 million over 10 months.
