Taylor Swift has officially sold off her old digs in Los Angeles and moved into a grand historic mansion she spent the last three years restoring to 1930s perfection.
This week, the 28-year-old pop star sold a mid-century modern home for $2.65 million in Beverly Hills, according to listing site Redfin. It was one of two smaller homes that she used in the city while she waited for builders to finish work on a lavish 1934 Georgian-revival estate she bought in 2015 from the heirs of iconic Hollywood producer Samuel Goldwyn.

The home she just sold is a bungalow on a corner lot spanning roughly 3,000 square feet.
It features a backyard patio with a freeform, lagoon-style pool; a dramatic skylight over the foyer and long gallery-like walls suitable for displaying art, according to the listing with Drew Mandile, Dean Mandile and Brooke Knapp of Sotheby’s International Realty. The house has four bedrooms and four-and-a-half bathrooms.
A listing agent said the seller (i.e. Ms. Swift) used the home as a place to put up guests who came to town and never lived there herself.
She bought the single-story house in 2012 for $1.775 million, according to property records, and poured considerable cash into upgrades, which included a completely new roof that she sold to the new owners with a 10-year warranty, according to the listing.
While guests were living it up at this mid-century gem, the "Shake It Off" singer was living at a small estate nearby, which she reportedly sold earlier this year for $4 million.
Ms. Swift can now enjoy living in her long-term passion project: The sprawling estate of the late Goldwyn, co-founder of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, or MGM, which she purchased for $25 million and spent an unknown amount of money restoring.

She went the extra mile to secure a local historic landmark designation on the property for its connection to Goldwyn, and renovated the property to exacting detail.
She revived the landscaping, restored the ornate plasterwork inside the home and even had the original wisteria peeled carefully from the facade during construction to preserve the vines, her architect Monique Schenk told the Beverly Hills City Council.
"It’s blooming and it’s really exciting to see that," Ms. Schenk said at a council meeting last year.
A rep for Ms. Swift did not immediately return request for comment.
