With two of three real estate deals secured in the past year, Kelly Clarkson has been busy purchasing and selling homes. She recently bid farewell to her Hendersonville, Tennessee residence for $6.3 million after four years on the market and multiple price cuts. She concurrently is still looking to part ways with her modern farmhouse in Encino, California at an asking price of almost $9 million. Most recently, though, the popstar purchased a colonial style home in Toluca Lake. This property was last sold for $4.9 million in 2018 before being listed on the market in 2020 at $5.6 million. In the months following, the property’s steep asking price remained steady until recently when Clarkson purchased it at a slightly reduced price of $5.4 million. The listing notes this home as a “rare offering” in one of Los Angeles’ “most discreet neighborhoods.”

Clarkson’s newfound property in Toluca Lake spans 5,000 square feet and rests on an acre of picturesque land. Built in 1936, the colonial style home includes five bedrooms and seven bathrooms. Later renovated in 1985, the estate includes a main house and guesthouse. Entering through the motor court, the primary home opens to a grand center hall. Stemming off the center hall, the home presents a great room, dining room with covered terrace, living room, entertainment rooms, and library all with fireplaces. The open chef’s kitchen is equipped with stainless-steel appliances, marble counters, and brick flooring. The octagonal glassed in breakfast room sits adjacent to the kitchen and offers plentiful sunlight. Upstairs, the master suite features a fireplace, midnight kitchen, office, master bathroom, and two walk-in closets. Through a set of French doors, the exterior space opens to a landscaped backyard with two lawns, tennis court, pavilion, pool, and spa. The property also offers a guesthouse equipped with a full kitchen and bathroom.

In 2018, Perry purchased the Beverly Hills residence to accompany her nearby abode at a price of $7.47 million. The presumed reason as to why Perry acquired the property was to provide extra space for guests or visitors while still remaining within the gated community of Hidden Valley. However, in 2020, Perry decided to bid farewell to her additional property and placed her guesthouse on the market for nearly $8 million. As the listing price failed to attract prospective buyers, the price was reduced to $7.85 million in January. In March, the price was once more lowered to $7.7 million. By early May, a buyer was secured, and the real estate deal was closed at $7.45 million.

Built in 1960, the 4,400 square foot traditional residence has been renovated throughout the years and spans roughly one acre of land. The estate features four bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms. Beyond the gated walls, the home opens to a spacious living area equipped with a fireplace and French doors leading to the outdoor space. The formal dining room opens to a terrace and overlooks the exterior grounds. The chef’s kitchen highlights a center island, breakfast area, and fireplace. Additionally, the interior layout of the main floor includes a family room, media room, built-in bar, and two ensuite bedrooms. Upstairs, the master suite spans an entire wing with a veranda, two walk-in closets, seating area, and sunlit bathroom with tub. The opposite wing of the upper level includes an ensuite bedroom, office, and gym. Stepping outside, the home’s landscaped grounds the feature a picturesque lawn, pool, and lounge areas.
