<p>“Said goodbye to our beautiful home today before I flew out. It’s been the most wonderful place to live in for the past 5 years. We hope the new owners are as happy as were in it. It was just the best place to entertain in! Onto the next project...:),” she wrote.</p>
<p><span>The couple paid $1.15 million in 2011 for a three-bedroom brick home (pictured below), which hadn’t been listed in 35 years.</span></p>
