Before the mansion
Before her Brentwood mansion came tino existence, Carrie’s starter home was a smaller version of the posh estate she would call home for 10-plus years. She purchased a home at the heart of country music in Nashville, Tennessee, which was the ideal place to launch her music career.

Her first home included three bedrooms and 3-1/2 bathrooms. She purchased the home from her American Idol earnings and immediately began giving it personal touches here and there, similar to what she’d do to her mansion in later years. She lived there for a couple of years before relocating to her Brentwood estate.
