American songwriter, singer and television darling, Kelly Clarkson rose in fame for winning the first season of American Idol in 2002, when she was just 20 years old. The attention and her stellar voice earned her a record deal with RCA Records.
According to a source at Compass Real Estate, Chris Corkum and Lisa Brende of Compass listed her sprawling custom-built 10,000 square foot modern, farmhouse-style home in January 2021. Craig Knizek from The Agency procured the buyer, a prominent television executive who recently purchased the property for $8,240,000.
Located in Encino, a San Fernando Valley neighborhood in the Los Angeles region that has been popular for years with celebrities. Movie stars Clark Gable and John Wayne built their compounds in this area, and now the celebrity enclave has neighbors Nick Jonas and Sophie Turner, Joe Jonas and Priyanks Chopra, Selena Gomez, David Hasselhoff and Ice Cube and Samuel L. Jackson living nearby.
The 8 bedrooms and 9 full bathrooms, plus two half bathrooms offer hand-poured sinks, artists commissioned light fixtures, handmade wooden barn doors, and intricately blended brick flooring throughout the interior.
The expansive primary bedroom includes a fireplace, a private balcony, a cozy sitting area, a gigantic custom walk-in closet, and the signature piece in the white subway-tiled master bathroom is the stunning black window framed shower with his and her entrance doors.
The kitchen features three islands and top-of-the-line appliances. Throughout the interior are vaulted ceiling living areas highlighted by expansive windows, wooden beams, and a color palette consisting of the now popular whites, grays, and blacks.
Additional interior amenities include a home theatre, fitness center, game room, temperature-controlled wine cellar, and a three-car garage.
The extravagant backyard is a private oasis offering a multi-level pool, and fully equipped outdoor kitchen with a built-in pizza oven and warming drawer. It's an ideal spot for al fresco dinners and entertaining.
The lounge area has a modern firepit for chilly nights and roasting s'mores. Beyond the grassy lawn is a two story guest house separate from the property that includes two bedrooms and another full kitchen.
This property is an exquisite stand-out in design, while maintaining warmth and a welcoming feel throughout.
