Selena Gomez's Fort Worth home can be yours for a mere $2.9 million

UPDATE: Selena Gomez has put her Fort Worth mansion up for sale again. It is listed for $2,999,000 with Richard Wegman of Giordano, Wegman, Walsh & Associates, an affiliate of Christie’s International Real Estate. Gomez had pulled the home from the market last year after it sat unsold for months.

Pop star Selena Gomez has put her Fort Worth home up for sale. Born in Grand Prairie, Gomez is no stranger to North Texas, and she bought the 10,016-square-foot estate in Montserrat in 2015 as a place to spend time with her family when not on the road.

Alas, with such a busy schedule, the 25-year-old just didn’t have time to make it back that often. Besides holidays, the house didn’t see much action. So now, for a mere $2.9 million, you too can live like a pop star (minus the packed touring schedule and adoring fans, that is).

Being marketed by Todd Terry and John Zimmerman of Briggs Freeman Sotheby’s, the home is located at 4649 Saint Laurent Ct. in the exclusive Montserrat neighborhood, which, according to Zimmerman “probably has the highest concentration of seven-figure sales in Fort Worth” and “some of the best views in North Texas.”

The home is situated on a sprawling (and private) acre and a half and includes a lagoon-style saltwater pool with water slide and spa, an outdoor family room with fireplace and attached cabana/guest quarters, a grilling area, a putting green, and a tennis/sport court. And that’s just what’s on the outside.

Inside you’ll find five bedrooms, six full bathrooms and one half-bath, a spectacular media and crafts room, an office, a game room complete with a pool table, a coffee bar in master suite No. 1 (there are two master suites, because that’s just what you have when you’re a pop star), and a gourmet kitchen and open floorplan ideal for entertaining.

Oh, and the garage holds six to eight cars. Again, because that’s just what you have when you’re a pop star.

American Freight furniture chain to shut down 2 Fort Worth-area stores

American Freight

There's a big sale going on at American Freight.

There's a huge sale on furniture going down right now, but for a sad reason: American Freight, a chain of furniture stores operating in dozens of states, is permanently shuttering all 328 locations, due to “sustained inflation and macroeconomic challenges,” according to its parent company.

That includes two Fort Worth-area stores, part of seven stores overall in the Dallas-Fort Worth.

The closing comes after its parent company, Franchise Group, Inc., filed for bankruptcy protection, according to documents filed in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Delaware.

Store closing sales began on November 5, both online and at its 328 locations. Hilco Consumer-Retail is managing these sales for American Freight as the business winds down its operations nationwide. Significant discounts are being offered on the brand's full assortment of inventory.

Shoppers can save up to 30 percent off the lowest ticketed prices storewide. Available items include living room sets, bedroom furniture, dining tables, and a selection of scratch & dent and new in-box appliances, such as refrigerators, washers and dryers.

New inventory is arriving and expected to move quickly, so customers should take advantage of this prime opportunity to enjoy exceptional deals before it's too late.

"Our goal is to deliver outstanding value to customers during this full chain closing sale," said Ian Fredericks, CEO of Hilco Consumer-Retail. "Everything is on sale and must be sold, and we recommend shopping early for the best selection."

During the store closing sales, select American Freight financing and delivery services will remain available to customers, presenting a unique opportunity to shop exceptional discounts with the convenience of flexible payment and home delivery.

The chain has 39 stores in Texas, including 7 in DFW and two in Tarrant County, all closing as follows:

401 Southwest Plaza, Ste 105, Arlington
1265 Town Square Dr, Fort Worth
1825 Westpark Dr Grand Prairie
