We may have found something more impressive than Tom Cruise [1]'s decades-long run of hit movies: his real-estate repertoire. The longtime movie actor sold his four-bedroom Hollywood Hills estate that (as Maverick from Top Gun might say) takes our breath away — and it's just been reported that the buyer [2] is none other than former Desperate Housewives star Eva Longoria [3].
Longoria is said to have dropped a cool $11.4 million on the elegant European-style home and spacious guest house — that's about $1.5 million below the 2.5-acre estate's original asking price. As you might expect, this price tag allocates many a star-worthy luxury, including an Italian farmhouse kitchen, Venetian plaster walls, a lagoon-style pool and waterfall, and a separate stone structure perfect for wine storage and tastings.
