Gospel Music Icon Yolanda Adams Lists Her Regal Houston Home for $2.8M

Singer Yolanda Adams, known as the “First Lady of Modern Gospel,” has put her Houston estate on the market for $2,875,000.

The nearly 7,600-square-foot property has six bedrooms and eight bathrooms and is situated on a .34-acre lot in a gated community. It’s perfect for anyone looking for a private enclave that’s also convenient to the city’s many amenities.

The home last changed hands in 2006 for an undisclosed price. Let’s sing its praises.

European architecture

The incredible Northern Italian-style home has a double-height foyer, a fabulous fountain, and a spectacular sweeping staircase.

Its elegant entryway seamlessly blends into a formal living room and dining room, which is nicely outfitted with a wine closet and wet bar.

Chic and functional

The cavernous kitchen boasts a center island, walk-in pantry, and Thermador appliances.

It also has a unique built-in desk—the perfect place to check your email while enjoying a cup of coffee.

Fabulous frescoes

The first-floor primary bedroom has a coffered ceiling, hardwood floors, large closets, and oversized windows.

Its en suite bathroom is a sight to see. For starters, it has a barrel ceiling and magnificent, Italian-style frescoes. A huge soaking tub anchors the room, right in front of a grand window. It’s a stunner, for sure.

A spacious suite

Hosting family or friends overnight? Let the elevator (or stairs) usher them up to the third-floor guest suite.

An outdoor oasis

Step into the backyard, and you’ll see a grotto with a fireplace, pool, spa, and fountain. The home’s multiple patios are ready-made for dining, relaxing, and entertaining.

It’s all in the details

And there’s plenty more to see. The expansive dwelling has an elegant study on the main floor, a game room, a three-car garage, and two fireplaces.

Set in the estate section on the 17th fairway of a golf course community, the property comes with a low monthly HOA fee of just $261. That covers the courtesy patrol, on-site guard, and use of the clubhouse and recreational facilities.

Adams, 61, is one of the best-selling gospel artists ever, having sold more than 10 million albums worldwide. She’s won multiple awards, including four Grammys and five BET Awards.
