The former home of entertainers Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown has hit the for-sale market. The property, located in the Atlanta suburb of Alpharetta, is listed for $1.9 million.
Houston purchased the residence in 2003 for $1.38 million, and it featured heavily in the Bravo-produced reality show “Being Bobby Brown.” Five years later, Houston sold the home for $1.349 million just before finalizing her divorce from Brown.
Houston passed away in February 2012. In a career that spanned 30 years, Houston sold more than 200 million albums. She also won six Grammy Awards, two Emmy Awards, 22 American Music Awards and 30 Billboard Music Awards. According to Celebrity Net Worth, at the height of Houston’s career, she earned $30 million annually just from touring. Despite personal and financial setbacks in the years leading to Houston’s death, her estate has been able to bounce back with several lucrative deals.
R&B singer Brown was married to Houston for 14 years. Brown launched his career with the Boston-based group New Edition before going solo in 1986. Hits such as “Don’t Be Cruel” and “Tenderoni” made Brown a top R&B entertainer. His current net worth is $2 million.
Inside Houston and Brown’s Former Residence
The 8,022-square-foot property is located 27 miles north of Atlanta. The five-bedroom home was built in 2001. As guests arrive at the home, they will be met with massive iron doors. The entrance features a large foyer with high ceilings and a sweeping staircase.
In addition, there is a library, billiard room, and media room. Upstairs there is a terrace and mahogany bar. The bedrooms include expansive closets.
The home’s exterior is no less extravagant. There’s a resort-style swimming pool and spa area.
Guest House For Sale
Houston’s Georgia home is not the only property that is up for grabs. In April, Houston’s former guest house was listed for $1.6 million. It was located in Mendham, NJ, just an hour from New York City. The ranch-style home sat on five acres of land and included three bedrooms. Houston purchased the home in 1993 for $537,000 and sold it in 2010 for $940,000. Whitney Houston’s former guest house, located about an hour from the hustle and bustle of New York, is now on the market for $1.6 million.
