LOS ANGELES: Singer Selena Gomez has dropped $ 4.9 million to buy Tom Petty’s former Encino mansion.
As per reports, the house was originally custom-built by the late rocker Tom Petty and his first wife, Jane Benyo, after an arsonist-set fire destroyed the Tudor-style mansion.
The child actor-turned-international pop music and social media superstar’s new mansion has 11,500 square feet of living space. The multi-story structure boasts a number of hidden passageways, secret panic rooms and a byzantine floorplan sure to delight children of all ages.
The house is invisible from the street and neighbors alike. Inside, the double-height living room is accented by a cinematic stone fireplace that travels through the upstairs balcony before reaching the home’s roof. Skylights flood the airy, open public rooms with warmth, and light brown driftwood floors keep things light.
Gomez’s new neighbors include a slew of social media stars — YouTubers Logan Paul, James Charles and Rebecca Zamolo. And the new Gomez estate also happens to sit right next door to an even larger contemporary mansion that’s currently owned and occupied by actor Vin Diesel and his longtime partner Paloma Jimenez.
