Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown’s Former Georgia Mansion for sale. The sprawling mansion where the reality TV show “Being Bobby Brown” was filmed is on the market in Alpharetta, GA, for $1.9 million.
The Queen of Pop purchased the 7,734-square-foot five-bedroom home in 2003 for $1.39 million. She sold it four years later, to the Chevalier family, days after her divorce was finalised on April 24, 2007, for $1.19 million.
“When we bought the house, we were looking for a home in the Country Club of the South,” says homeowner Danielle Chevalier. The gated country club community boasts 745 homes and a golf course, among other residential amenities.
“I had never even seen the show,” Chevalier says. It aired for a single season on Bravo in 2005, and a review of the time referred to the show as “the most disgusting and execrable series ever to ooze its way onto television.” It’s a distinction that’s certainly been topped in the decades since, but we didn’t blame Chevalier for not tuning in.
“We were definitely fans of hers. But for us, that didn’t have anything to do with our decision. It was more about the house being a beautiful home at the end of a cul-de-sac, and its location in the Country Club of the South,” Chevalier says. “They had good front entry doors opening on to a two-story foyer and a gorgeous staircase.
“Whitney had great taste, but like every homeowner, we updated some things to make it our own,” says Chevalier. “We put in a swimming pool, changed out the railings, put in some fire pits outside, and installed hardwood floors upstairs.”
The most impressive room in the house is the enormous living room, which boasts a vaulted ceiling and large windows allowing natural light to flood the beautiful space. There’s also a spacious dining room designed for entertaining.
The lower terrace level features a mahogany bar, billiards/game area, bedroom suite, exercise and an open media room with a 150-inch drop-down screen. Other luxury amenities include updated lighting and an invisible-edge, saltwater pool with a separate spa. The chef’s kitchen is complete with high-end appliances, a wine/coffee bar, and an octagonal breakfast nook.
The primary suite is on the main level and features dual dressing rooms, a coffee bar and a beautiful bathroom with a soaking tub. Upstairs, three en suite bedrooms boast newer hardwood floors.
The home is a one in a million for sure,” says Chevalier. “I am not sure if Whitney Houston owning it would make a difference to the next buyer, but it certainly could for some. Hopefully, someone will love living here as much as I did. All of the neighbours said while Brown and Houston were living here, they were really nice. We were out of town when she sadly passed away. The phone was ringing off the hook asking us for interviews. We declined them all at the time out of respect for her.”
