 Selena Gomez has been keeping herself busy amid the pandemic, settling into her mansion in Encino, cooking on TV and getting her brand new Spanish album ready. Not to mention, at the end of 2020 she finally sold a cottage like home in Los Angeles she'd had on the market for a while. In honor of Selena releasing some new music, let's check out where she's been spending most of her time these days. She even created a music room in her new pad. In these videos we don't reveal any addresses and even though I've done a house tour of my own place, please do not show up at any private residences because it's not safe for anyone. Selena Marie Gomez is known to us all as a successful singer, songwriter, actress and even TV producer who got started on Disney like many of our fav stars. Her studio album Rare, released in 2020, was her third number one album in a row and during the pandemic, Selena was able to create her first fully Spanish album that has just been released. It seems that her mansion with both a gorgeous music room and history from a music icon who used to call this place home provided Selena with some inspiration during these strange times. At the time of this recording Selena has amassed a net worth of $75 million or more but you might be surprised that prior to this Encino with state her luck with real estate kinda sucked.

Most recently in what seems to be a Valentine's Day weekend gift to herself, Summer has yet another big car to add to her driveway. While it may seem more practical her new designer SUV was far from cheap. As always don't forget to follow me on Instagram and now let's get into this video. Just to get an idea of where Selena came from, a world away from the glitz and glamour that surrounds the singer today. She was born and raised in Texas in the small city of Grand Prairie in Dallas County. For most of her childhood Selena lived with her mom after her parents divorced when she was only five and the two lived in this quaint home for nearly a decade. This humble abode had three beds two baths and was 20 minutes from the heart of Dallas. Most recently the home is estimated to be worth about 174K. In the past Selena has opened up about the financial issues her family faced when she was young but she still has a lot of love for her roots and former home. The singer even made a nostalgic trip back to Grand Prairie in 2018 to visit her all childhood property and posted it on her Instagram. After two years of sitting on the market Selena finally unloaded her Hampton style bungalow in studio city Los Angeles in fall 2020. The perfectly maintained property was a bit difficult for Selena to sell first briefly putting it on the market in 2017. Again in 2018 and then again just before the pandemic with a reduced asking price. The sale the 3400 square foot abode had no takers and was relisted a month prior to the sale before finally closing for 2.37 million dollars. The 1950s single level home has four beds four baths and both wide plank oak and aged herringbone brick floors throughout. The class the abode is almost invisible behind a 20 foot high hedge and protected by an intense security system. And inside there's an open plan layout with narrow entryway that flows into a combined formal living and dining room. Here there's one of the traditional fireplaces and listing photos showed a piano featured in the dining space. The center of the home of a windowless room that could be used as a study or an office and it still has a ton of natural light thanks to a sprawling skylight. There's also another whitewashed brick fireplace. Then the great room and gourmet kitchen offer a lounge space with marble topped bar and the eating area flows out to the yard via French doors. There were two guest rooms one had an entire wall of mirrored panels and they both shared a marble bathroom. Selena's former master suite on the other hand was privately set at the back of the house overlooking the backyard where she had a walking closet and glittery white marble en suite. The property also came with a detached guest house with living room and an air conditioned workout room or yoga studio. Out back the cute LA property had a covered brick dining terrace perfect for outdoor meals and there was also enough room for a stone line swimming pool and spa. Aside from unloading that bungalow Selena had quite the year kicking off 2020 by releasing her album Rare and treated fans to a makeup line of the same name. She's also been producing movies and hosting her very own cooking show Selena and Chef and amidst it all Selena made a big purchase and moved into her new home in Encino Los Angeles. Despite her busy schedule Selena has been able to settle into the home finally and enjoy quality time alone in her new residence. Formerly owned by music legend and rock star Tom Petty the mansion cost Selena just shy of five million dollars and came with quite the Hollywood history. It was custom built by the late Tom Petty and his first wife Jane Benio in 1989 after an arsenate set fire destroyed the Tudor style mansion they previously lived in on the .87 acre property. This time around Petty had a estate built in a unique style best described as glamorous mountain lodge meets contemporary villa or something like that. Today the home has been expanded further by following owners and now spends 11,483 square feet of living space with six beds and 10 baths. While Petty himself loved the home he gave it up in his 1996 divorce and his ex Jane continued to live here until 2015 until the high maintenance mansion was lost the foreclosure. Most recently it was owned by music producer Randy Spendlove who sold the place to Selena. Located in the heart of Encino Selena's neighbors include the likes of James Charles to Logan Paul to actor Vin Diesel just next door. Set at the end of a quiet street and completely gated driveway her multi-level home boasts a handful of hidden passageways, secret panic rooms, and a floor plant delight residents of any age. The double height living room is epic to say the least with a stone fireplace that spans multiple levels up to the upstairs balcony and to the roof. The airy common rooms are open plan with skylights overhead tons of light and brown driftwood flooring. We can see that Selena has settled into the space in her living room boasts a comfy beige sectional with fluffy white cushions and a matching wooden coffee table making it the perfect place for her to hang with family, friends, or even her dogs Daisy and Winnie. The kitchen is full of whitewashed brick and high end appliances making it a cook's dream. Selena has been sharing a lot of fun content from this kitchen for her show Selena and Chef and the space also boasts two separate kitchen islands featuring gray marble counters and blue chairs. Exposed wood beams on the ceiling and ornate golden fixtures add a rustic charm to her contemporary kitchen which is clearly one of Selena's favorite rooms. Not only is there a full recording studio in the mansion, there's a cool sunken media room from the original structure that was formerly used as a pit for acoustic guitar players. It's since been updated with new wood, a large viewing screen, and a web bar. Selena also created a dedicated music room for herself where she can practice singing piano, guitar, you name it. The room has a white piano with matching rug underneath, dark green floral patterned walls, white trimmed windows, and burgundy chairs. There's also exposed wooden beams on the ceiling and a basket of logs that suggests a fireplace here. Selena's mansion has two master suites, one upstairs and one downstairs, each with private balconies, walk-ins, and spa-style baths with soaking tubs. Whichever one Selena decided to settle in her bed appears to be decked out in silk pillowcases against an elegant beige headboard. Her room is also a place she loves to take selfies and it matches the elegant white theme of the rest of the home. Other highlights include an upstairs yoga studio, massage room, a gym, a second in our kitchen, and a wine cellar. Out back, what LA home is complete without this staple? Of course Selena has a gorgeous tree-shaded pool set into a stone terrace with additional hot tub. Elsewhere the back garden has a stone canopy and full outdoor kitchen and grill. So Selena has plenty of room to entertain guests. Pretty sure I said this last time, but I'll say it again. Selena's mansion is one of my favorite celebrity homes ever. Not only because it was formerly owned by one of my idols, the late and great Tom Petty, but also because the home itself is breathtaking.
