Mention the name Matt Damon, and you immediately think of some of the biggest blockbuster movies over the past two decades.  Some of my favorites include Good Will Hunting, Saving Private Ryan, Ocean's Eleven, and the Jason Bourne movies just to name a few.

With that kind of track record, Damon commands big bucks when it comes appearing on the big screen.  It should come as no surprise then that back in 2012, Matt and his wife, Luciana, purchased a luxurious home in Los Angeles' Pacific Palisades for $15 million.  Actor Ben Affleck, Damon's best friend since school days, lives on the same street. However, the two best buds won't be neighbors for long.

For the first time in decades, Damon will be making a move without his best friend, Ben Affleck. Matt and his wife and family are making the movie to their six-bedroom penthouse at the Standish in Brooklyn Heights, New York which they purchased in 2018 for a record-breaking $16.745 million. Ben Affleck will be staying in Los Angeles to be near his three children.

Matt Damon is selling their Pacific Palisades home for $21 million.  According to TopTenRealEstateDeals.com, the 13,508-square-foot home has seven bedrooms and 10 baths, inside a private-gated entry. The home’s focus is the center atrium soaring to 35 feet with mahogany ceilings and light pouring in through clerestory windows branching out to the open-plan living. California-style formal rooms open seamlessly via movable glass walls allowing for vanishing thresholds between living and landscape. The house contains a chef’s kitchen in mahogany with bluestone countertops, the master suite has its own private terrace, dual dressing rooms, massage room and bath. Also included is a game room, bar office, staff quarters, wine storage and tasting room, and a media room. Outside is a pool, spa, children’s play area, a waterfall, koi pond and Hawaiian-style covered lanai for dining and lounging among tropical plantings. and have now put it on the market for $21 million.

This time it appears Affleck will be staying in Los Angeles to be near his three children while the Damon home goes on the market and the family moves to their six-bedroom penthouse at the Standish in Brooklyn Heights, New York, which they purchased in 2018 for a record-breaking $16.745 million. This may be the first time so many miles have separated the two best buddies since their school days.
