Six months after she put it on the market, Cher has sold one of her
houses.
The singer and actress got $8.8 million (all figures U.S.) for her
waterfront mansion on Key Biscayne, about 10 miles south of Miami. The
house was listed last year for $9.75 million.
Buyers Sean and Ana Wolfington closed the deal Tuesday for the fully
furnished 6,819-square-foot house that boasts six bedrooms, eight
bathrooms and bamboo floors throughout. The couple has two children.
Cher bought the estate, overlooking Biscayne Bay, in 2003 for $5.65
million after selling her Miami Beach house to Calvin Klein executive
Barry Schwartz.
The entertainer spent more than $100,000 last year to replace trees and
plants on the property that were damaged by hurricanes.
Cher, who turns 60 this month, is scheduled to take over from Celine
Dion at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas when the Canadian singer’s contract
runs out.
