The Kardashian family home, the one that’s seen on the hit TV show “Keeping Up with the Kardashians,” is up for sale. If you’re interested, owning it will set you back $6.495 million. The famous abode is lavishly roomy with seven bedrooms and eight bathrooms. In total, the residence takes up 7,240 square feet. It was built in 1983 and has a grand Italian fountain at the front. Additionally, there’s a library, a media room, and a wine cellar capable of fitting 2,000 bottles. Outside, a beautiful saltwater pool and waterfall await some new owners to delight.
The mansion is found in a gated community in Studio City. It’s not the first time the home’s made an appearance on the house listing scene. In 2008, it was being offered for $9.995 million; the following year it went down to $7.9 million. Apparently, the home is styled after the Medici castle in Florence. It bears an Italian name that’s somewhat bizarre: Palazzo di Sono. Perhaps someone misspelled sogno and the real name is “Palace of Dreams.” As it is, the name’s meaning is closer to “Palace of Is,” as in, the verb ‘is.’
In the Kardashians’ reality TV show, this house represents the home of Kris Kardashian-Jenner and Bruce Jenner — the mother and step-father of Kim, Kourtney, and Khloé Kardashian. However, the real home of Kris and Bruce is in Calabasas, Calif. Another show that’s been filmed in this Studio City home is True Blood. The exact address is 11947 Iredell St., Studio City, CA 91604. Michelle Schwartz and Craig Knizek of The Agency are handling the sale.
An unknown buyer has agreed to part with $4.235 million in exchange for becoming the new owner of Britney Spears’ former home. The expansive 15,930-sqare foot home is nestled inside Summit, a Beverly Hills gates community. The original asking price was $2.995 million, which constituted a steep fall from the $7.2 million that Spears originally paid for the home in December 2006.
At the time, Britney had just initiated the proceedings for her divorce from Kevin Federline. Less than a year had passed when she tried selling it, unsuccessfully. The Beverly Hills mansion has five bedrooms, a master suite with a fireplace, and a great pool and spa. Its garage can hold three cars. The once reigning princess of Pop moved out of the place just the same. She hasn’t lived there since 2008.
That year, Spears left the home in a stretcher after a mental breakdown. After regaining her bearings, Spears began renting in Calabasas, CA, though, since early 2011 she’s been living in Thousand Oaks — in another rental.
Currently, Spears is engaged to Jason Trawick, who started out as her manager. Although Spears’ father, James Spears, has been her conservator since 2008, the courts just granted Trawick co-conservator status. Trawick will look after Britney’s daily affairs while dad James will continue overseeing her finances.
This year’s golf Masters champ is the thirty-three-year-old Floridian Bubba Watson. Winning his first Masters Tournament is not the only big change underway in his life right now. Along with his wife Angie Watson, the current world number-four has adopted a son and placed his summertime lakeside home in Lexington, North Carolina on the market. The address is 178 Foxglove Lane and the home’s being sold for $1.45 million.
Bubba, whose birth name is Gerry Lester Watson, Jr., put what once served as a summertime residence for sale in February. The agent responsible for the listing is Tim Taylor; he works at his namesake real estate business, Tim Taylor Realty. The three-story house sits on high ground and overlooks North Carolina’s second largest lake, High Rock Lake.
This beautiful home encompasses 5,000 square feet and has views of the grand lake from three sides. Inside its lofty accommodations one finds four bedrooms, five bathrooms, and two indoor kitchens. There’s also an outdoor kitchen, a heated pool, and a private pier. A guesthouse/staff quarters sits above a spacious three-car garage. The athletic couple — Angie was a standout basketball player — is leaving the house behind because they must reside in Orland, Fla., until their son’s adoption process is finalized.
A Lil Wayne “celebrity mansion” is on the market in Kenner, Louisiana. The lavish home is situated inside a gated community that lies less than 15 miles away from New Orleans, the rapper’s hometown. At $1.7 million, its price is comparatively modest. Well, at least in the context of super-high-profile celebrity real estate. For the price tag a buyer will get five bedrooms, a master suite with a fireplace, a pool, Jacuzzi, and sauna, and a four-car garage.
Recently, the southern mansion has been getting a lot of attention because of Lil Wayne’s most recent run-in with the law. The rapper, whose birth name is Dwayne Michael Carter, Jr., was ticketed for not trimming his Kenner home’s lawn and letting weeds thrive unchecked.
But in 2010 he served eight months of a one-year prison term; he was convicted on marijuana and gun possession charges. Between July 2007 and December 2008, Carter was arrested/accused of illegal activities relating to guns and narcotics four separate times. Also, between July 2008 and July 2011, he was the target of eight different lawsuits.
Compared to the serious nature of his previous dealings with the law, the citations for too many or too-lush weed patches on the lawn are exceptionally tame — enough for them take on a comical aspect. And that tension created, between new and old transgressions, has sparked interest in the home on sale.
Whitney Houston’s mansion, and the place where, according to the real estate ad, she “married, lived, and loved,” is on the market with an asking price of $1.75 million. Located in Mendham Township, New Jersey, the 12,561-square-foot manor is now being shown to potential buyers with proof of at least $1.75 in liquid assets or loan pre-approvals.
Much like its previous owner, there is nothing ordinary about this contemporary-style home. A must-see for car collectors, Houston’s mansion boasts a four-car garage as well as motor court parking with room for 15 more vehicles. Potential homeowners will appreciate the secluded location as well as the luxurious amenities. Set on a serene, gated five-acre lot, the home offers five bedrooms and five bathrooms, ideal for families and other celebrities. The mansion also features beautiful tile floors, plenty of large windows, and unique curved walls. And don’t forget the outdoors! The home also features a swimming pool and Jacuzzi.
While the home boasts beautiful architecture and luxurious amenities, the real estate ad is being scrutinized by the media for trying to sell the home in light of the singer’s death. After all, the mansion was the place where Houston endured her drug addictions and an abusive marriage to Bobby Brown. It was also the set for the 2005 TV show “Being Bobby Brown,” which featured the couple. According to the real estate ad, the home offers potential buyers more than a property, but the “Incredible star studded history.”
Whitney Houston died earlier this month at age 48. She was found in a Beverly Hills hotel room submerged in a bathtub. She was a talented singer, actress and producer known as one of the world’s best-selling music artists. She has received two Emmy Awards, six Grammy’s, 33 American Music Awards, and 30 Billboard Music Awards.
Reports abound that Jennifer Aniston is the name attached to the latest high-profile real estate purchase in Bel-Air, California; purchase price is $21 million. The news has sent more than a few down personal memory lanes to those somewhat halcyon days of 2005 when property prices had yet to decline (steeply) and the automotive and banking industries had yet to imagine (perhaps) their needing huge public bailouts in just a few years’ time. Clearly, those days, apart from the ongoing Iraq and Afghanistan wars, deciding on a black Team Aniston or red Team Jolie tee seemed like the height of our social pickles.
But now it’s 2012, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have six children together, we know the names of the first African-American First Family, and our beloved troops in Iraq (at least) have been called to return home. Oh yes, and Jenifer Aniston is denying pregnancy rumors alongside her current boyfriend, Justin Theroux, with whom, to go by a Wall Street Journal headline, the distinguished comedienne is jointly buying the splashy Bel-Air residence last owned by Robert Maguire, a real estate bigwig.
The new home totals 8,500 square feet and comes with four bedrooms, seven and a half bathrooms, about three acres of land, a handsome vineyard and requisite wine cellar, and a comfy guest house. There’s also, of course, a nicely appointed pool and the beautiful vistas that money makes so much easier to enjoy. Her illustrious (in some circles) new neighbors will include Hugh Hefner, Nicholas Cage, and Lauren Bacall.
The star’s freshest addition to her storied real estate portfolio first went on sale in 2008. Aniston, who will forever be remembered as Rachel from “Friends,” was represented by Jade Mills from Coldwell Banker of Beverly Hills. Mills was also the woman who represented Avril Lavigne in the successful sale of her big pad to Clippers point guard Chris Paul last week.
