Singer Yolanda Adams, known as the “First Lady of Modern Gospel,” has put her Houston estate on the market for $2,875,000.
The nearly 7,600-square-foot property has six bedrooms and eight bathrooms and is situated on a .34-acre lot in a gated community. It’s perfect for anyone looking for a private enclave that’s also convenient to the city’s many amenities.
The home last changed hands in 2006 for an undisclosed price. Let’s sing its praises.
