Britney Spears’ Beverly Hills home has sold for a whopping $4,253,000 – well over the original listing price of $2,995,000.
The pop star has accepted the offer from an anonymous bidder, and ordered conservators to cancel a court hearing tomorrow that would have allowed other prospective buyers to overbid.
TMZ was told Britney’s lawyers asked the judge to cancel the hearing because the star is under a conservatorship. This means there could have been a hearing on the sale next month, where anyone can come to court and overbid the accepted offer. Yet now the judge has granted their wish, the house has officially sold for $4.235m.
It’s not all sunshine and rainbows for Britney, however – while the estate did sell for well above its listing price, the singer still made a heavy loss – she purchased the estate in 2007 for $6.8m.
TMZ was also tipped that the listing price was kept deliberately low. Britney and her team were hoping that this would a attract multiple bids and result in a fierce, money-spinning bidding frenzy.
The Mediterranean-style property has 7,453 square feet of living space, with five bedrooms and six bathrooms. It is located in the exclusive Summit gated community in Beverly Hills.
The huge mansion boasts spacious rooms with tan coloured walls, a kitchen area with a large marble top table in the centre of the room and a dining room that overlooks a swimming pool and spa. You can see some pics below.
It also has some history – it’s where Spears famously had a meltdown in 2008, and was subsequently strapped to a stretcher and taken to a hospital.
