Ariana Grande recently sold a home that is very special to her because it is where she married husband Dalton Gomez in May 2021, but she knows exactly what she’s doing since he’s a real estate agent. The 29-year-old singer made a tidy profit on the historic Montecito, California property that she bought from Ellen DeGeneres in 2020 — Grande got it for $6.8 million and sold it for $9.1 million just two years later.
Besides a celebrity pedigree, the gorgeous woodland home has a fascinating history because it was originally built as two barns in England in the 1700s. They were dismantled at some point during the 1900s and shipped to the U.S., where the barns were merged into a stunning 5,500-square-foot English Tudor on 1.3 acres of land in Southern California. The home feels like a complete fairy tale with its two bedrooms and three bathrooms; it must be hard for Grande to let such a special place go.
While the property doesn’t have the A-list amenities normally associated with a celebrity property — like a pool, screening room, and gym — the charm of the architecture makes this place a showstopper. With high, vaulted ceilings, unique angles, and sunshine streaming through, the Montecito home feels like it is straight out of movie set — and wait until you see the magical living room! Check out the property Grande is saying, “Thank U, Next” to and see more lovely photos at Dirt.
