Britney Jean Spears is an American singer, songwriter, and dancer. Regarded as a pop icon, she was a prodigy of teen pop music, setting the stage on fire. An all-rounder, Britney Spear began her career by singing in the choir at the church and had gymnastics and voice lessons. Besides that, she won many state competitions and bagged awards at talent shows for children. 

A new marriage – a new estate! That is the life of a singer at least! The pop star married her trainer and model Sam Asghari and moved into her new mansion, which sits on 1.6 acres in a gated community, located just out of Los Angeles, in the suburbs of Calabasas. According to reports, the seven-bedroom, nine-bathroom home was purchased for 11.8 million dollars.

10 Facts about the House

An architect’s perception of the facts about the house is mentioned below:

1.A Secured Dwelling

The kind of celebrity she is, shouldn’t the security systems be tight enough? Definitely, yes, and hence, this mansion lies within a double-gated community and also features a security system safe enough to keep the ex-husbands away! What’s even more interesting is that other celebrities like Kourtney Kardashian, Travis Barker, etc., live within the same enclave.

The singer wanted a house spanning huge areas since she prioritized space; thus, the house occupied nearly 11,649 square feet. It is a single-level property that is widely spread. Even though it was a rented space, a lot of hard work had gone into renovating the space.
