Where Does Fantasia Barrino Live And How Much Is Her House Worth?
Putting your money into real estate is an investment that doesn't always pay off. Fantasia Barrino is one celebrity who can attest to that fact. When the singer sold her Charlotte, N.C. home in 2018, she took a serious financial hit. While she bought the home in 2004 — the same year that she won American Idol — for $740,000, she only managed to sell it for $465,000, likely due to the fact that it was "in need of extensive renovation," according to the Los Angeles Times.
The "stately home," which is located in a "golf-course area," boasts a brick exterior and black shutters, which gives it "a traditional feel." Sitting on "a half-acre of parklike grounds," inside there are 4,541 square feet of space to enjoy, including four bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, "two bonus rooms," and a music room. The master bedroom, which is found on the main level, features a sauna, while a fifth bedroom had been turned into a walk-in closet. Whoever was lucky enough to snap up the home surely appreciates the fact that it also has a screened porch which is apparently "[e]ssential in buggier locales."
While that sounds pretty darn nice, Realtor.com notes that Fantasia "want[ed] a quick sale," which may have been because the star had already faced a trouble-filled attempt to unload an expensive home in the past.
