Jessica Simpson and fiance Eric Johnson are in escrow to buy Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne’s former home – just like RadarOnline.com told you first, last month!
According to a report in Us Weekly, the singer-turned-fashion-designer wasn’t deterred by the property’s minor fire on January 17 and made an offer on the 11,000-square-foot mansion in Hidden Hills, Calif. – for close to the $13 million asking price.
The Cape Cod-inspired house is twice the size of Jessica’s current Beverly Hills home with 6 bedrooms and 10 bathrooms, as well as a grand staircase and large windows.
Outside, there’s a large swimming pool and patio – perfect for family gatherings and entertaining guests.
The main bedroom has a Victorian-esque master bath with French doors that open to a private veranda.
Renovations are also underway to turn Osbourne’s huge walk-in closet into a nursery for the couple’s second child.
“She's already met with designers!” a source told Us.
Back in January, RadarOnline.com exclusively revealed that Jessica and Eric were in advanced negotiations with Ozzy and Sharon – but wanted to see the damage caused by the minor blaze before committing to any sort of deal.
“When Jessica and Eric heard about the fire they were as equally as disappointed as the Osbournes,” a source told RadarOnline.com.
They were planning on making an offer on the mansion somewhere in the region of $12 million, because they felt it was the perfect family home.
“Now, they’re going to have to assess the damage before committing, even though they heard it is pretty minimal.”
Firefighters were called to the home after Sharon revealed she forgot to extinguish a candle before going to bed.
