Whitney Houston`smansion has been sold for a reported $1.5 million, it has been reported.
The new owner of the late singer’s property – a self-proclaimed ‘fan’ – has claimed that he will not open its doors to the public or in any way ‘disgrace her honour.’
Matthew Krauthamer, a 33-year-old emergency room physician, has said that he plans to move into the New Jersey property in the next month and has vowed to keep things private.
Built in 1986 for $2.7 million, Houston and her former husband Bobby Brown hosted their lavish 1992 wedding there.
The 12,561-square-foot home has five bedrooms, five bathrooms, a six-car garage, 13 skylights and 108 windows. It includes a tennis court, pool house and pool, a circular driveway and six-car garage.
According to Krauthamer, it was no easy task to purchase the singer’s former residence. In an interview with RadarOnline, he said: “I had been trying to buy the property for a number of years.
“Her family has been in contact with me,” Krauthamer revealed, but held back on giving any further details.
“I don’t want to make money off of who she was,” he said. “She was kind and generous and she took care of those who she loved.
“I’ve had some communication with the family and they have been kind throughout the whole process. I wanted to put an end to their concerns and fears that I am not an opportunist and I don’t want to disgrace her honour.” – Voice
