The world was shocked by the sudden death of legendary singer Whitney Houston last week. The 48 year old singer was found dead in a Beverley Hills hotel just hours before a scheduled appearance at the Grammy awards.
The singerââ¬â¢s former marital home had been on the market for three years and her estate agent believes that there may be renewed interest in the home after the sad passing of the music legend.
Mansion up for sale for $1.75 million
The Star reports that ââ¬Ëthe walls of Whitney Houstonââ¬â¢s New Jersey mansion ââ¬â which has been up for sale for the last three years ââ¬â are rounded rather than square, which is telling because itââ¬â¢s here her life spiralled out of control.ââ¬â¢
The huge property has been for sale since 2009. It was originally listed for $2.5 million (ã1.6 million) but is now available for $1.75 million (ã1.1 million) after failing to sell. The property is 12,561 square feet and sits on a five acre, rural plot. Houston listed the house exclusively with estate agent Robert Cross three years ago because the agent specialises in celebrity homes.
Cross says the gated home ââ¬Åhas undeniable celebrity lineage, history and patina.ââ¬Â
Houstonââ¬â¢s tragic death may renew interest in home
Houston married singer Bobby Brown in the property which she had custom built at the height of her fame. The five bedroom, five bathroom property also provided the backdrop for the Bravo reality show Being Bobby Brown where Houstonââ¬â¢s addictions first became apparent.
Cross admitted that ââ¬Åmaybe thatââ¬â¢s why itââ¬â¢s been hard to sell.ââ¬Â And, the agent admitted that Houstonââ¬â¢s tragic death may renew interest in the sprawling home. However, he added that ââ¬Åno matter what the lineage, people wonââ¬â¢t buy it if itââ¬â¢s too expensive.ââ¬Â
