You oughta know that Alanis Morissette has found a buyer for her East Bay home.
The “Ironic” singer offloaded her six-bedroom manse at 3958 South Peardale Drive in Lafayette for $9.6 million, Realtor.com reported. The seller was listed on the deed as Baz Trust, while Nicholas James Sunseri was registered as the buyer.
The home hit the market last month for $7.5 million — and changed hands quickly, as it was taken off the market just a week later. The deal closed June 1, according to documents cited by Realtor.com.
Morissette purchased the home in 2018 for nearly $5 million. The home is on a roughly 0.7-acre property in Lafayette’s Happy Valley neighborhood. The singer decided to relocate to the Bay Area from Los Angeles with her husband and children in 2017.
“Ever since I was 21, I remember having said to myself that I needed to live here. So I took a break from Hollywood, had my third child up here,” Morissette told the local ABC station in 2024, according to the San Francisco Business Times. “I’m just in love with the Bay Area. It’s a big, big piece of who I am.”
The six-bedroom main home spans 5,270 square feet. A separate pool house and detached flex spaces are also on the property. The main house features a wine cellar, a private library and a gym as well as a primary suite with a spa-inspired bathroom, outdoor shower, massage room and yoga space. The pool house has a full bathroom and sauna next to a swimming pool, outdoor pavilion, exterior kitchen, sports court and a custom treehouse.
Morissette’s not-so-jagged little sale joins other pricey East Bay sales this year. Last month, a home at 7 Country Lane in Alamo traded for $23.5 million while another Alamo estate at 115 Stephanie Lane just a few days later sold for just over $10 million, per the Business Times. Other big-ticket sales in the East Bay this year include 44 Farrague Avenue in Piedmont, which sold for nearly $11.8 million in January, and 1749 Alameda Diablo in Diablo, which traded for almost $11.3 million the following month.
