Jared Leto made more than $7 million as he sold a Los Angeles mansion he owned for $12 million earlier this year.
The 54-year-old actor in May finalized the real estate deal on the property, which had once been a base for the U.S. Air Force, TMZ reported on Tuesday.
The 14,649 sq. foot home has six bedrooms and five bathrooms, as it’s situated on a lot of land spanning 1.4 acres.
The Academy Award-winning star had initially purchased the Laurel Canyon property in 2015 for $5 million, the outlet reported.
Among the unique amenities of the home include a trio of 35-millimeter screening rooms, film vaults with temperature-control and a sound stage.
The Daily Mail has reached out to representatives for Leto for further comment on the story.

The property had been the location for training films for the Army, and newsreels for the Air Force that featured late Hollywood icons such as Bob Hope, Jimmy Stewart and Gregory Peck, according to the outlet.
Other notable features of the unique property include concrete blast walls that are four feet thick, a shelter and a tower intended for air-traffic, according to a 2017 WSJ Magazine profile.
The Suicide Squad actor spoke about the unusual history associated with the property in the piece, saying, ‘There are so many crazy rumors about this place: Everything from “Part of the moon landing was filmed here” to “They used to keep prisoners downstairs.”
‘They had laboratories. They were doing all kinds of God-knows-what.’
Leto noted he had converted the soundstage on the premises to a studio for his band, Thirty Seconds to Mars, according to the report.
Leto was in the headlines earlier this summer following the July release of a BBC documentary titled Jared Leto: Hollywood’s Darkest Secret.
The documentary included allegations from four women who accused the entertainer of sexual misconduct, stating the incidents had occurred when they were aged 16-19.
The claims, which Leto denied, were situated between the years 2002 and 2016, a timeframe in which Leto had primarily been in his 30s and 40s.

One woman said in the BBC doc that Leto had assaulted her when she had been 17-years-old while in the bathroom of a motel.
Another woman said that Leto had threatened her with sex assault when she was 19, in a hotel room.
A woman in the doc said she had been 17 during a sexual encounter with Leto in California, where the age of consent is 18.
Another accused claimed Leto had made sexually graphic statements to her while on the phone when she was 16.
Leto, through a statement, denied all of the allegations, saying, ‘I have never sexually assaulted anyone in my entire life.’
He added, ‘These claims are absolutely and categorically false.’
