Whitney Houston Fan Buys The Late Singer's New Jersey Mansion For $1.5 Million

By Shannon Carlin, Radio.com

A longtime fan showed that he really will always love Whitney Houston by purchasing the late singer's New Jersey mansion for over a million dollars.

According to Zillow (via Billboard), an emergency room physician and investor named Matthew Krauthamer bought Whitney's 5-bed, 6-bath, 13,607-square-foot home, which was built in 1987, but has been vacant since 2009, for a cool $1.5 million.

Krauthamer, who was only in second grade when the house was built, told the real estate blog, he does not plan to turn it into a museum, but will live there. He wants to give it a new paint job and add some new appliances so he can help return the home to "its original ’80s glory."

“The house in and of itself is absolutely stunning,” he said. “Wooded acres, gated property, two-floor poolhouse, two Jacuzzis. The house is really an incredible home.”
