Alanis Morissette has sold the home she lived in for some 21 years – and made a huge profit in the process. The Ironic singer bought her seven-bedroom, seven-bathroom home in Brentwood, Los Angeles for $1.79millon (around £1.37million in 1996), but has just sold it for $5.32million (around £4million), earning a cool $3.5million (£2.67million) profit.
It's easy to see why Alanis lived in the house for so long; the property is set behind gates in a private estate with a Mediterranean-style mansion that spans 5,152 square feet. And it had everything the You Oughta Know singer needed for her growing family, including a huge manicured garden complete with a swimming pool, children's play area and a half basketball court.

The large kitchen is the ideal place for Alanis to prepare family meals with her husband Souleye and their children, Ever and Onyx. Lots of wooden cabinets and drawers line the walls, while there is also a stainless steel double oven, dishwasher and wine fridge.

Another of the bedrooms, on the first floor, has access to its own private balcony, and also has a bright and airy feel thanks to the dual aspect windows.
