The Princess of Pop Britney Spears is one lucky singer. She moved into a gorgeous 12,000-square-foot mansion nestled in 21-acres in the hills of Thousand Oaks, California, just outside the busy city of Los Angeles.

From stunning pillars and floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking a lush landscape and rooms decorated with classic taste, this five-bedroom, seven-and-a-half-bathroom, $7.4 million home is enough to drive anyone 'crazy.'

Britney Spears has recently made a major purchase. For $7.4 million, the Princess of Pop bought a beautiful 12,000 square-foot mansion located in a gated community in Thousand Oaks, California, right outside of the busy Los Angeles area.

The Italian-style abode is decked out in stunning marble and gorgeous architecture, something fitting for a princess. It even has a fountain in its circular drive! Needless to say, Spears is quite happy with her sprawling 21-acre property.

Looking at the front of Spears' mansion, it's apparent that the home is modeled in a Neoclassical Italianate style. This particular style reflects the architecture seen in ancient Greece and Rome, with mile-high marble columns that make it look as though the mansion was plucked out of time.

These columns aren't just seen in the front of the house, though. They're also seen inside the main foyer and sitting rooms.

The Foyer Is Open And The Perfect Spot For Greeting Guests

Walking through the front door, the Pop Princess is welcomed with an open foyer and sitting room, complete with magnificent pillars, matching the prominent ones located on the front of the house, and floor-to-ceiling windows, giving the space a very spacious look.

With marble tile floors and off-white walls, the entrance of Spears' Thousand Oaks mansion is very welcoming, clean, and has just enough space to have an epic dance rehearsal, as seen on the star's Instagram.

Walking past the huge entrance, there is a great room. But the term "great" doesn't even start to define the room. The space actually has 35-foot tall ceilings. And paired with a giant fireplace, built-in cabinetry, a comfortable-looking sectional couch, and floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking a gorgeous California landscape, the room is nothing sort of magnificent.

If Spears doesn't use this room on a daily basis, it really is a waste of a fantastic reading spot.

Britney Spears' formal living room is something out of a fairytale. Designed and decorated with classic elegance, the room has everything it needs to cater to a relaxing afternoon. With two cream-colored couches, a fireplace, and even a crystal chandelier, the room is completed by the surrounding floor-to-ceiling windows that seem to be a feature in most of the downstairs rooms.

It's the perfect place to chat with friends, curl up with a book, or even take a nap.

While a vast majority of Spears' mansion is light, open, and airy-looking, she went with a bit of a different vibe when it came to decorating the study/library. Instead of going with marble and an off-white color palate, Spears opted for something a bit more old-school and dark.

The study features intense wood-paneled walls and ceiling, a cast iron fireplace, a built-in bookcase, and even a circular mirror to tie everything together.

The formal dining room is feminine, elegant, and just as classy as the rest of the Princess of Pop's Thousand Oaks mansion. Unlike the rest of the house, though, Spears opted to give this room a beautiful pop of color.

With dark wood accents and cream-colored walls, Spears went for rose pink chairs. With the head of the tables' hairs being the reverse cream and pink, the setting really compliments and brings something extra to the room.

The mansion sports five bedrooms, and this one just so happens to sport a fireplace. There's really not a shortage of fireplaces in this house. Ironic, considering it's southern California.

Either way, the room is decorated similar to the rest of the house, with elegant creams and off-whites with a splash of color here and there. Here, it's the deep red of the comforter and the flower sitting on the table in the "sitting room" area of the bedroom.

When it comes to the kitchen, the Pop Princess went all out. The space is gigantic, with a massive island taking up the middle of the room. The kitchen looks like it's right out of an Italian fairytale with wall-lined marble countertops and dark wood cabinetry.

The most magnificent part of this particular room, though, has to be the large cart iron chandelier with electric candlestick lighting hanging directly over the middle island.

High ceilings and large windows are the key features of the upstairs living room. Even though it's technically the "informal" living room, the space is still very elegant and tasteful with its couch and workstation.

And while it's probably a great place to relax and watch a bit of television, the unobstructed view of the nearby Santa Monica mountains is definitely one of the best parts of the entire space.

Spears' master bathroom literally looks like it's right out of a dream. Complete with an elevated bathtub overlooking a gorgeous view of the Santa Monica mountains, it looks like the perfect place for the singer to relax after performances.

The pillars on either side of the tub even make it look as though the tub should be in an ancient palace! Honestly, how she chooses between that tub and her walk-in shower is a mystery.

The bathtub is without a doubt an envy-inducing part of the master bathroom, but it's almost overshadowed by the walk-in shower and wrap-around vanity. Almost. Completely covered in tile and sporting a bench, Spears' shower is big enough to hold at least ten people.

The wrap-around vanity isn't even important when looking at the masterpiece. Then again, the countertop with its vase of gorgeous flowers is a great detail to the room.

Looking at the rest of the rooms in Britney Spears' mansion, including this guest bedroom, there seems to be a common theme -- everything is very elegant, classy, and feminine. While not as extensive as some of the other rooms, this guest bedroom's washed in a cream and pink color palate.

It's fresh, light, and gives the room a sense of openness it probably wouldn't otherwise have if a darker color scheme was used.

When most people think of breakfast nooks, it's a tiny alcove in the kitchen sporting a tiny table. But when it comes to Britney Spears' breakfast nook, it was more of a "go big or go home" mentality.

The nook is more of a room, complete with a round table to compliment the room's circular shape, four chairs, and a fireplace to warm everyone up on cooler mornings. And, of course, some stunning windows to make the room feel open.

Not only does the mansion have a gigantic walk-in closet fit for an international Pop Princess, but it has a few other features. First, there are lush green archways over the end of the driveway, making it look as though the driver is about to pull into a castle, which they pretty much are.

The mansion also features a 3,500-bottle temperature-controlled wine cellar and a very large media room that Spears' sons, no doubt, utilize on a regular basis.

Of course, what's a sparkling infinity pool without a jacuzzi? Off to the side and overlooking the Santa Monica mountain range, a hot tub is perfectly located for a bit of quiet and relaxation.

Made of stone, the tub is located amidst the foliage, making it feel a bit private and "in the wilderness." The only thing missing from the scene is a full-stoked charcuterie board, some chilled drinks, and a boombox from the 90s just because it's Britney.

Twenty-one acres sounds like a lot of land but it's crazy how large it actually is when seen in from a birds-eye-view.

The wooden cabinetry is broken up by a tile backsplash, adding texture and design. Smooth, marble flooring brightens up the space.
