Jodie Foster, the "Silence of the Lambs" actress, has finally managed to sell off her home in Hollywood Hills for a little under $5 million.
Property records show that Foster's residence closed sale Oct. 06 for $4.99 million. Kurt Rappaport of Westside Estate Agency was the listing agent of the house. The buyers were represented by Conrad Hitchcock of Hilton & Hyland.
Foster, 50, purchased the home in 1997 and first listed the place in 2013 after giving the home a makeover. The residence debuted for $6.4 million in June 2013 but the price was slashed down to $5.9 million that September. It was delisted in December last year only to resurface go on and off two more time.
Finally, the home came up for $5.6 million in July this year again and was discounted to $4.99 million, and was sold for that price.
The residence is a Spanish-styled villa built in 1937. Comprised of five bedrooms and six bathrooms, the 6,060-square-foot, single-family residence sits on a 0.29-acre lot.
The home comes with an office and an attached guest suite. Adjacent to a formal dining room, a butler's pantry leads to a stunning kitchen. A luxurious master suite features a sitting area, walk-in closets, a fireplace and a sauna.

Foster gained recognition for her starring role in "Taxi Driver" (1978) at age 13. She won the Oscars for "The Accused" (1989) and "The Silence of the Lambs" (1991). More recently she starred in "Carnage," "The Beaver" and "Elysium."
News of the sale comes months after Foster got hitched to Alexandra Hedison, who also sold her home in Hollywood hills for $3.16 million in June this year. Foster and Hedison reportedly plan on starting a family now.
