During her BA in English Literature and Creative Writing, she gained writing experience in the US while studying in New York. Megan also focused on travel writing during her time living in Paris, where she produced content for a French travel site. She currently lives in London with her antique typewriter and an expansive collection of houseplants. The singer lived in the Alpharetta mansion with her ex-husband, Bobby Brown, between 2003 to 2007, according to Realtor. While residing in the home, the celebrity couple filmed the reality TV show Being Bobby Brown which was shown on Bravo in 2005. The singer-actress's former home sits on five acres and features a custom studio and a dressing room.

The room exhibits bespoke shelving that is built into the wall and large, flowing houseplants that continue to blur the lines between indoor and outdoor living. With its intricately-designed façade and lush front lawn (with instant curb appeal), it's easy to understand why the late singer was so attracted to the property. However, its assets continue inside the home, which is an immediate source of decorating ideas and design inspiration. On the other side of the brick wall is the wooden dining table that seats six and a wooden drawer chest that rests against the wall. The gourmet kitchen has a second less formal dining table next to a beautiful soft oak granite countertop island with a couple of bar stools.

Billboard 200 with sales of 305,000 copies and was her first studio album to reach #1 since 1992’s The Bodyguard. The album spawned two hit singles – the title track which became a Top 20 R&B single and “Million Dollar Bill” which hit the Top 10 in several countries worldwide. A promotional single, “Nothin’ But Love,” taken from the album was released to U.K. Radio stations to promote what was to be her final tour – the Nothing But Love World Tour. Whitney added the medium of made-for-television movies to her list of accomplishments when The Wonderful World of Disney aired the musical Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Cinderella in November 1997. The special starred Whitney as the Fairy Godmother, Brandy as Cinderella, Bernadette Peters as the wicked stepmother, Whoopi Goldberg as the queen, and an all-star multicultural cast.

Two years went into the making of her debut album, but the results were worth it. Not only did the album establish her as an important new recording artist, but it went on to sell over 13 million copies in the U.S., plus many millions more abroad. “I Will Always Love You,” the first single release, became the biggest selling single by a female artist in history, and reaped GRAMMYs for Record Of the Year and Best Female Pop Vocal Performance. Three other singles from the album, “I’m Every Woman,” “I Have Nothing,” and “Run To You,” also were major international hits for Whitney. The Bodyguard soundtrack album, featuring six Whitney Houston songs in all, has sold more than 45 million copies worldwide. At 18-times platinum in the U.S., it is the biggest selling motion picture soundtrack album in history, ahead of Saturday Night Fever, Forrest Gump, Titanic, and so on.

He credited his real estate agent, Maxwell Deyo of Weichert in Mendham, with finally getting him into the house after CPMG acquired it. Earlier this month, Houston’s family members filed a lawsuit to retrieve their belongings after CPMP allegedly locked them out of the house, but the dispute was resolved “amicably” and the family collected its personal property before the mansion was sold again, according to Taylor. “I’m very conscious of preserving what she created there,” Matthew Krauthamer said in an interview today. MENDHAM TOWNSHIP — The new owner of the former Whitney Houston estate in Mendham Township is a 33-year-old physician and real estate investor who calls himself a "big fan" of the late singing superstar and says he'd been trying to acquire the 12,561-square-foot home for three years. She first joined Future Plc as a News Writer across their interiors titles, including Livingetc and Real Homes, before becoming H&G's News Editor in April 2022. Before joining Future, Megan worked as a News Explainer at The Telegraph, following her MA in International Journalism at the University of Leeds.

With back-to-back #1 hits for the title tune and “All The Man That I Need,” followed by “Miracle” and “My Name Is Not Susan,” sales records were set once again, as the album became an international multi-platinum best-seller, to the tune of 10 million copies worldwide. With the highly anticipated release of her second album Whitney (June 1987), she made history as the first female artist to enter the Billboard album charts at #1. The luxury Georgia mansion was once owned by Whitney Houston, one of the best selling music artists of all time. Now the property where Houston and husband Bobby Brown lived out the end of their marriage is on the market for nearly $2 million.

Whitney Houston’s former home in Mendham has sold for its asking price of $1,599,000, New Jersey Monthly can exclusively reveal. The Queen of Pop purchased the five-bedroom property, located at 1014 Tullamore Place, in 2003 for $1.38 million. The 8,022-square-foot Alpharetta, Georgia, mansion, where Brown’s 2005 reality show was filmed, is asking $1.9 million.

Situated behind a circular driveway, the home features an iron door, a fully paneled library, a living room with floor-to-ceiling windows, a family room, a dining room and a chef’s kitchen with a breakfast nook. There is also a bar, an exercise room and an open media room, according to the listing. Located on a 0.6-acre cul-de-sac lot in Country Club of the South, a gated community, the home has 7,734 square feet of living space with five bedrooms and seven bathrooms, according to the listing with Peggy Connors of Keller Williams Realty, posted in late October.

Krauthamer impressed the salespeople because "he was so vested in the legacy of the house," Deyo said. "People in my office are so happy to see it go to someone who is going to love it as much as she did." Krauthamer said he couldn’t get into the Houston house but was able to get a look at Chapel Hill, an 18-room castle-style residence that was once known as St. Hilda’s Lodge. Built in 1918, Chapel Hill was designed by former Mendham mayor and architect William Cordingley, who lived there until 1965.

The gorgeous home sits on 5 acres of land that's hidden behind gates in Oak Knoll that enclose the entire property for privacy, according to Zillow. The expansive land is perfect for a family with kids so that they can enjoy the outdoors and all the space to play and explore. It's located just an hour away from Manhattan, so it serves as the perfect getaway spot from the city that never sleeps, according to Apartment Therapy.

"When I picked it up, all I could hear was screaming," she wrote in her 2013 book Remembering Whitney. "'Oh, Mommy! It's Nippy! It's Nippy!' It was my son Gary on the line and he was hysterical." Word spread like wildfire among Whitney's small entourage, including manager and sister-in-law Pat and Whitney's brother Gary. Seconds later Whitney's longtime bodyguard Ray Watson (one of Pat Houston's brothers), who had been standing watch outside in the hall, ran in too. A new remix of “How Will I Know” by Whitney Houston x Clean Bandit was released in September 2021, and an official biopic, titled I Wanna Dance with Somebody, was released in theaters in December 2022. Whitney’s contributions continue to touch the hearts and souls of millions of fans the world over.

Unsurprisingly, the garden ideas are equally as therapeutic, boasting a large swimming pool (plus a separate bathing pool) and an al-fresco dining space that is spacious enough for entertaining a large group of guests. Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown's former home on the outskirts of Atlanta is on the market for $1.9 million. Tragically, Houston’s daughter with Brown, Bobbi Kristina Brown, died in 2015, after she was found unconscious in a bathtub. The “I Have Nothing” singer was laid to rest at Fairview Cemetery in Westfield following her funeral at the New Hope Baptist Church in Newark, where she sang as a child.

The walk in closet has various shelving units and storage space to house any wardrobe. The bathroom has a marble interior, walk-in shower, and marble countertop dark wood vanity. The other two bedrooms have their own minimalist interior with a desk, built-in bookshelf, and side tables. Small round topiary shrubs line up one-by-one around the house, stopping at the patio.

Houston bought the home, built in 2001, for $1.39 million in 2003, records accessed through PropertyShark show. She sold it at a loss for $1.19 million in 2007 to the current owner, who was not immediately available for comment. The manor, which has eclectic architectural elements drawn from gothic, church and Arts and Crafts traditions, was listed at $2.8 million initially when it was put on the market in 2006 after extensive renovations that included a two-story theater. Krauthamer purchased it for $920,000, according to records on file at the Morris County clerk’s office.
