Kelly Clarkson’s Encino farmhouse
Kelly Clarkson sold her custom-built farmhouse in Encino, Los Angeles, California for $8.24 million in September 2021. The singer had purchased the property with her then-husband, Brandon Blackstock, in June 2018 for $8.5 million.There was a $260,000 difference between the selling and buying price of the property. It does not include any of the costs connected with this purchase, such as real estate agents’, property tax, maintenance, or improvements to the house.
The house is located in Encino’s Royal Oaks, a district famous for its big houses and big plots of land. The farmhouse has 9,839 square feet living area.
The house has eight bedrooms and eleven bathrooms. It has a total of nine full baths and two half baths. This house combines the modern farmhouse features, such as exposed wooden beams, glass walls and barn doors.
Why was farmhouse put up for sale?
Clarkson and her ex-husband, Brandon Blackstock, bought this home and moved in 2018. Right after his divorce, the house was put up for sale and, in May 2020, it was formally announced that the house was available for purchase. The asking price of the property was set at $9.995 million, close to $10 million, but it did not attract any buyers. So, the asking price was reduced to $9.5 million. Another reduction brought the asking price to just under $9 million.The reduction of asking price continued until September 2021 when the house was sold for $8.24 million. The real estate agents involved in the sale were Craig Knizek of The Agency and his colleague Chris Corkum and Lisa Brende of Compass, representing the buyer.
