Local girl-made-good Fantasia is losing one of her Charlotte homes. Looks like we’re not the only ones to feel the sting of the recession! The Real Estalker reports:

The foreclosure process for big voiced Miss Barrino’s 6,232 square foot house has been started and unless she can make good with a pile of cash will likely be auctioned to the highest bidder on January 12, 2009.

Property records show Miz Barrino purchased the 6 bedroom and 5.5 bathroom pond-front mansion on Bevington Place in March of 2007 for $1,300,000.

However, the children can rest easier knowing that it does not appear that Miz Barrino will go homeless as records show that she also owns a second house on nearby Seton House Lane that she purchased in July of 2004 for $740,000.

  1. Why not buy two homes in Piper Glen?

    The home, once owned by L.L. Cool J is an over sized oddity with Greek columns serving as a backdrop for the pool.

    Its style better suited to Palm Beach or Beverly Hills. Shoddy construction, covered up with lots of glitz and tackyness.

    No wonder why she hasn’t made a payment.

    A sad statement about how celbs manage their money.

    I have to crack on Natalie for calling it a “Pond Front” mansion.

    It is hardly neither, unless you don’t get out much.

    Pool? Pond? Pond would be good for Nats.
