Katy Perry wants $26 million for her Beverly Hills mansion

Pop icon Katy Perry has decided to call time on her opulent LA mansion, putting the abode on the market for USD $19.5 million ($26 million).

Located in the celebrity-centric locale of Beverly Hills Post Office, the gorgeous five-bedroom, five-and-a-half-bathroom residence sits on a substantial and highly desirable 4694-square-metre block.

Accessible via a lengthy, stone-paved driveway shrouded by luscious green hedges and manicured gardens, the French-style villa boasts a restrained, elegant and contemporary appearance from its exterior.

Of particular note is the vine-covered facade at the front of the structure, which is contrasted nicely by the home’s off-white paint scheme.

Being owned by someone as iconic as the platinum-selling, Grammy-nominated singer, the house’s interior is just as fabulous as the exterior.

Features include a professional kitchen, sizeable home gym, chic dining room with avant-garde light fixtures and a whopping master suite.

Out back, the lavish property benefits from a raft of luxuries, including a large pool and lounge area, established gardens and trees and even an adorable treehouse.

The American Idol host reportedly purchased the property back in 2017, paying nearly USD $18 million ($19.5 million) at the time.

That means that if the 37-year-old can sell the home for her asking price, she’ll make a tidy profit of roughly USD $1.5 million ($2 million).

Pleasant though the dividend would be, though, Perry, who is estimated to be worth USD $330 million ($440 million), probably wouldn’t be too fussed if her gorgeous home sells for a bit less.

And don’t worry about the ‘I Kissed a Girl’ singer needing a place to stay if she does indeed find a buyer, because, between herself and fiance Orlando Bloom, the pair have quite the property portfolio.

Notably, the family, who welcomed their daughter Daisy Dove Bloom into the world in 2020, bought a sizeable nine-bedroom mansion in the positively royal Californian coastal town of Montecito that same year, shelling out roughly USD $14.2 million (18.9 million).
