Singer, songwriter, actor, dancer, record producer, television

beauty, Christina Aguilera, born December 12, 1980, is selling
her Hollywood Hills home.

HOLLYWOOD HILLS
Christina's real estate portfolio has not been a source of good
luck for her. Aguilera's Mediterranean style Hollywood Hills pink
stucco home is still on the market, taking two price cuts since
it was originally listed at $7.995 million in April 2008. The
mansion is located at 513 Doheny Road, Beverly Hills, California
90210.
Public records show Aguilera purchased the property in 2007 from
Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne for $11.5 million, 23.3 percent below
the asking price of $15 million. Selling the 10,000-square foot
celebrity estate has been Christina's focus for the past few months,
first being shown as an off-market property and then a pocket
listing.
It was relisted in January 2010 and was listed at $5.995 million.
The modern mid-century home was often referred to as her "bachelorette
pad." With her divorce finalized, it wasn't too surprising
to see Aguilera's Beverly Hills home finally hit the market. After
all, this was the pricey pad the pop star and now ex-hubby music
producer Jordan Bratman purchased together. From 2002 to 2005
the kitchen and breakfast area were the focal point on the set
of the MTV reality show The Osbournes before becoming Aguilera's
home.
The decorating period is Gothic, burlesque, Hollywood Regency
and chinoiserie (17th European French term "Chinese-esque").
The elements are juxtaposed with modern flourishes such as graffiti
artwork, Japanese anime (Japanese animated cartoon style), and
kaleidoscopic rugs. It is a true Christina diverse mix of styles
and she wanted every space to have its own personality.
Aguilera's Beverly Hills mansion is a 6-bedroom, 9-bathroom home
situated on a gated, 0.64-acre lot with high ceilings, tons of
light, and an atmosphere between creativity and elegance. Regardless
of décor preferences, the home is a unique piece of Beverly
Hills real estate.
A gym, game room with a pink pool table, gift-wrapping area,
movie room, personal beauty salon, and guesthouse with a recording
studio are luxuries for the rich and famous Christina Aguilera.
Outside there is a Bali-inspired cabana for relaxing by the pool,
a cushy spot for entertaining poolside, with a water slide with
cave, brick patio, fire pit, and barbeque area.
In addition, there are the expected amenities like a gourmet
traditional kitchen with a little bit of whimsy having bright
red chairs and funky pendent lights at the eating bar, a formal
ornate dining room, and sweeping staircase with red carpet. The
Grammy-winner's living room naturally has a grand piano. Plus,
her office has a fireplace.
The master suite will make any homeowner drool, too. Not only
does it feature a raised platform for a massive bed, but includes
a fireplace behind the freestanding bathtub and Lulu Guinness
rug, lounge area, and his-and-her baths with his-and-her walk-in
closets to match.
In the nursery for son Max, there's a gigantic crescent moon
next to a wall mural, but no trace of the former Disney star's
Mickey Mouse Clubhouse days.
When Christina Aguilera redecorated her home, she went big with
bold colors of bright green in the library to black and yellow
in the kitchen, whimsical furnishings and dramatic glam.
What attracted the pop diva may not have appealed to most buyers.
Aguilera's home stayed on the market for two years before "pending"
showed up on the listing.
The sale of Christina Aguilera's Beverly Hills home closed on
April 26, 2013 for $11.5 million.
SHERMAN OAKS
Multi-talented Christina Aguilera recently purchased her new
$10 million mansion home near Charlie Sheen, and Paris Hilton
in the Mulholland Estates in Sherman Oaks, California. The seller
of the 11,107-square-foot Mediterranean mansion is Tom Gores,
owner of the Detroit Pistons. Last year, he leased the house to
newly divorced Adrienne Maloof star of The Real Housewife's of
Beverly Hills for around $20,000 per month. Living next door are
Charlie Sheen and Paris Hilton who will definitely be fun neighbors.

The estate is a slight downgrade compared to her previous home,
but this home has a more sophisticated atmosphere with marble
floors.
The gated community stately home comes with 6 bedrooms, 8 bathrooms,
6 fireplaces, and screening room. Outside are a saltwater (naturally
chlorinated) pool, spa, bathhouse, and gazebo with an enclosed
terrace with fireplace leading to massive patio spaces.
The second floor master suite has a fireplace, private office,
marble bathroom, steam shower, soaking tub, even though it lacks
the massive closet the diva had been accustomed to in her old
house.
This large home includes a formal living room and dining room,
a massive family room with an open-beam ceiling, wood paneled
library, two bars, and a wine cellar.
It has a striking high-tech chef's kitchen, a breakfast nook
with a walk-in pantry, and a big playroom. The entire home is
equipped with fortress-type security for privacy and for keeping
tabloid photographers at a distance.
The home has one fewer bathroom than Christina's previous home,
but it is still fit for a star.
Conclusion
Whether it's Hollywood Hills or Sherman Oaks, California, Christina
Aguilera is used to buying and living in 5-star luxury properties.
