Kate Mara and Jamie Bell have placed their Los Angeles residence on the market for just under $5 million. This decision comes after only three years of ownership of the elegant Southern Colonial-style home, located in the lush neighborhood of Los Feliz. The listing is being handled by Patricia Ruben of Sotheby’s International Realty.
