HOT PROPERTY: Avril Lavigne receives $5.2-million cash offer for mansion

Hot Property

The peerless, fearless Avril Lavigne has done what others only dream of: No, not the part about snagging eight Grammy nominations on your first album when you are still in your teens – the part where you list your Beverly Hills-area mansion and somebody gives you a cash offer of $5.2 million just 36 days later. Tears of joy may have even run down her 24-year-old face, trademark thick black eyeliner and all; they certainly would have mine.

Lavigne’s five-bedroom, six-bathroom house has 6,864 square feet. It is “nestled serenely,” says the listing, on a private lot in exclusive Mulholland Estates. There are tropical gardens with a pool, spa and a north-south tennis court. The kitchen is described as “gourmet,” and opens to the family room on one side, an attached butler’s pantry and formal dining room on the other. There is a library.

The house was listed at $5.8 million, but when cash comes calling, it behooves one to listen.

Speaking of listening, many people apparently do: Her debut album, “Let Go,” went platinum six times and included the song “Complicated,” which earned the singer five Grammy nominations.

In July 2006, she married Deryck Whibley, guitarist and lead vocalist with pop punk band Sum 41.

Mauricio Umansky of Hilton & Hyland, Beverly Hills, was the listing agent, and Alan Parness of Rodeo Realty represented the buyer, according to the Multiple Listing Service, Combined Los Angeles-Westside (CLAW).
