Michael Buble | Burnaby Christmas Mansion $5 Million Dollar | House Tour 2024

singer Michael bé was born in bernabe British Columbia but he'd get his start in Vancouver where he performed in front of the martini drinking crowd at the former babalo Lounge and Nightclub since 2011 Michael has been married to Argentinian actor and model Louisana lupato with whom he has three children and this happy family celebrated the majority of their very first Christmases together in the comfort of bublé's former vancouver-based home it certainly can't be all that surprising to learn that the man who was a platinum selling Christmas album not to mention a series of holiday television specials loves this time of year but what makes it most special to Michael is getting to share in the experience with others as he once explained to Western living telling them I've always been very sentimental about it it was just such an exciting time for us and for all the kids that lived on our street you could smell it in the air from Halloween on you knew it was coming people were acting a little more tenderly with each other and there was something really magical about that in these videos we don't reveal any addresses and even though I've done a house tour of my own place please do not show up at any private residences because it's not safe for anyone in 2007 Michael bought his first home in west Vancouver for $4.5 million and he'd use it for the next decade as his home base always returning each and every December to be as close to his family as he possibly could not to mention he would decorate his home in a stunning holiday fashion of course ever since his wife joined him when on his journey Michael's home also served as a gathering space for her Argentinian family as well which means Traditions often had to be merged for his Spanish side Michael would turn his downstairs basement into a nightclub with a disco ball and a DJ meanwhile upstairs he kept things a little bit simpler for his own family who like to belt out Christmas tunes with a piano microphone and amp but no matter what was going on or where everyone ultimately ended up doing the same thing as Michael explained to Western living we drink way too much and eat way too much and we all sing Christmas carols with all of that going on every holiday season thank goodness Michael's home boasted five bedrooms five bathrooms and more than 7,100 Square ft because they needed every inch of that space in terms of the amenities Michael's home included a gourmet kitchen a home theater music room and a wine seller on the property's bottom floor but the only good look we ever got of the interior of this place comes from a holiday the photo shoot that Michael participated in a few years ago with the folks over at style at home that's where we got a taste of the holes elegant black white and gold palette with a type of sophisticated charm that totally suits Michael's vocal style for instance just above the trade table in the homes hallway hung a piece from Michael's artwork collection a collage of broken records that was created by his brother-in-law Michael takes major pride in his art collection some of which includes a cartoon by Jan ardan and a painting by T Tony Bennett but his favorite piece is a photograph of chat Baker by William Claxton that hung in a place of honor above the fireplace in his living room and when it came time to rap gifts Michael always personalized them with a band of sheet music secured by a satin bow before nestling the presents in a bowl of ornaments to add a little bit of holiday flare then there's the food with an extended Italian family and an Argentinian wife you just know we're talking a wide range from traditional turkey and mashed potatoes to risoto and empanadas alongside a whole bunch of sugarcoated trees but it's the little details that always mattered the most whether it's white panies arranged in a dome shape to look like a bowl of white snowballs or black Linens paired with gold toned flat wear and gold edged dish wear it's clear that Michael and his family never spared any expense when it came to getting into the holiday spirit after celebrating many heartfelt holidays here in 2019 Michael and his family decided to leave their longtime Vancouver home behind it seems that they were constructing a massive new home in Michael's original hometown of Burnaby so why don't we head on over there next in the late 2010s Michael bé bought two abandoned properties and turned them into one gigantic house that's so big a reportedly has its very own underground hockey rink no seriously in 2016 bé let that little tidbit slip next to Kelly Ripa but that wouldn't be the only time that this house would make the news during its lengthy period of construction the nearby neighbors often complain that the fence surrounding the compound was built too high fortunately once the entire process was completed Michael's new neighbors all appeared to forgive and forget in fact if anything they were happy to have the town's prodigal son back in the fold with one neighbor telling the Vancouver son he could have gone anywhere in the world to the fact that he has a home here in bernabe where he grew up is really great outside of bragging about his indoor ice rink details on Michael's new home are relatively scarce but what we do know is that the Mansion was designed by Michael Green architecture and is situated across from an elementary school on Government Road satellite images also reveal that the property houses a tennis courts and an inground swimming pool as for the inside well we've only ever been offered glimpses on social media but a deep dive turns up a series of Clips give us a taste of how things might look this includes a living room with a cream colored sofa topped off with black pattern pillows and gray tile floors meanwhile the dining room has been decorated with a rustic wooden table that serves more as a spot for Michael and his kids to goof around than it does an elegant place to gather they've also got a minimalist themed kitchen with Mosaic tiling on the wall and cream colored worktop counters with a central white Island but the most interesting thing about this property is that in the beginning of 2022 it was assessed as the most expensive home in the city and the 36th most expensive home in all of British Columbia with a value of 23.6 million for reference the second most valuable home in bernabe is only worth 9.1 million according to BC assessment the 100,000 ft lot the home is situated on is worth $8.3 million alone while the seven bedroom 15b house is worth more than $15 million and guess what this isn't even the only home Michael bé owns in baby in fact his other property holds even more sentimental value to him what better time than the holidays is there to give back and a couple of years ago Michael was very much in the giving mood when he decided to remodel his Original Family Home and gifted to the bernabe resident who cared for his grandfather during his final years while working for Michael's family over a period of 8 years manette would send much of the money that she earned back to the Philippines to provide for her own family that was still living there this is why it became so important for Michael to do something nice for her so he recognized manette's hard work by honoring his grandfather's final wish to give her a home that she could call her own to do so Michael Enlisted the help of the Property Brothers Drew and Jonathan Scott to renovate his former home into something a little more modern back in the day Michael used to spend a lot of time in this house largely because his grandfather meant so much to him in fact he tell the Property Brothers on Celebrity IOU the greatest memories of my life happened here my grandfather was my best friend growing up he's my hero part of what made this house so special was the fact that Michael's Grand father built it with his own two hands which is why the singer decided to roll up his sleeves and participate in as much of the renovation as his body would allow for the most part the Rena were focused on the entryway kitchen and living room one of the highlights of this new modern look was the creation of a slat wall in the central foyer which now helps to divide the dining room from the rest of the space and provide a bit of privacy as for the living room what was once a very ornate parlor full of carpet and fabric now offers Sleek edges a hardwood floor and a fireplace then the mountain side windows in the living room were all replaced with more modern energy efficient Windows when it came time to do the kitchen Michael and the Property Brothers took an allwhite space with tile floors and turned it into something elegant with a giant Marble Island and a massive built-in cabinet for all of manette's nicest table wear what do you guys think pretty hard to tell that this was once a' 7s era home now right the fact that Michael did it all for someone who dedicated so much of her time to caring for his family is just so nice such a perfect sentiment to think about around the holidays in other words that'll bring this special holiday theme look into the homes of Michael bé to a close thanks for watching today's video and before you head out answer me this if you were a world famous singer would you return to your original
