Matt Damon has finally sold his Miami mansion for $15.4 million. He originally bought the property for $14.5 million back in 2005. The home has seven bedrooms, and nine bathrooms, and was built in 1935. See pictures of the property here.

  1. I like the pool and the wine room (duh), and the interesting candle thing above the table, but the rest just looks like bachelor pad filler.

    1. What the hell is wrong with me and my typing today!?!?!?! Well, it's making me laugh, I guess that's not a bad thing.

    2. What about a tit? I guess I'd better check the pictures.

  4. The interior is sterile. I felt uncomfortable even looking at some of the photos. I can't imagine what I'd feel like if I lived there. Taking a bath in that cold, cavernous bathroom, with the tub in the middle? The kitchen & dining room look like it's part of a conference centre.

  5. Not one thing is warm and friendly about that house. And no, I don't have 20 million to spare!!!

  7. As to the decor being warm and friendly- i dont think most of these stars ever lived in these houses. They just buy them for nvestments, so they dont care what they look like.

  8. Boy this is stark..bedroom looks like a bed in a ballroom. I thought he lived in Miami..doesn't he? Or at least keep his family there.

  9. For 15.4K it's not too impressive. I'd have gotten the Property Brothers in there to fix a few things like all that wasted space in the bathroom, that gross kitchen counter granite and the overall fugly colors. He probably could have gotten a lot more with a few changes and better furniture staging.

    I watch too much HGTV channel. I love the realestate listings Outtie!

  10. Exterior and landscaping are fine. Interior looks like a "fancy" motel.

    For that price you could get something in Palm Beach, away from all the trash.

  11. @Dexamyl: I live on MB, and I'm not trash, TYVM. Donald Trump lives in Palm Beach, if you want to talk trash. TYVM again.

  12. When you're asking $20m for a property, you have it staged. So, quit with the comments on the furniture. Matt must have lost money on this. Property taxes are huge here, as is insurance. And although I know brokers don't get 3% on a $15m property, that's still a chunk of change he handed to the broker.

    Well, he can afford it. His wife is the luckiest bartender in the world. In the world.

    1. The furniture still sucks - regardless of why it is there or who owns it. So what if it is staged. It looks awful. Staging is supposed to show a home in its BEST light.

  13. Seems kind of dark to me for a Miami home. So much brown going on

  14. @Pip ...I apologize as I can see how you read my comment. I love MB vacation-wise as I love violent weather. But you must not take it personally. No offense intended.

    My mother's second condo is in the JAX brewery in the French Quarter of NOLA. Not Palm Beach. It's not a good area or a safe one. But a beautiful view and within a few blocks of Rouses.

  15. Nice architecture, but you could fortune them by withholding color that much.

  16. He bought that house in 2005, the height of the real estate market here in South Florida. He's lucky he's finally able to turn a slight profit.

    I'm worried about the architectural integrity of the interior – with a house of that age, it should have a lot more interesting features than these pictures are showing. It looks like a big generic modern bore.
