“What makes this house special is that it’s in one of the top gated communities in Los Angeles,” Matt told PEOPLE of Summit, the exclusive Beverly Hills neighborhood where the six-bedroom, six-and-a-half bathroom home is located, in July. “It’s incredibly safe, so it’s where celebrities want to be.”
According to Matt, the home itself is “virtually paparazzi-proof.” He notes, “It has gates within a gated community, just to show how important privacy was to Britney Spears. There is no angle or anything that can be seen from any other house or hill, nothing whatsoever.”
He also noted that celebrities may be attracted to the home, which was first placed on the market at the end of June, because of the detached guest house on the property, which Matt said Spears may have used for her security team.
“If you have guests that you want to stay but you don’t want them in the house, or if you want to have a live-in housekeeper, it’s wonderful,” he explained.

“The backyard is incredibly kid-friendly,” Matt said, adding that Spears “had one of the most beautiful custom kids' treehouses in the backyard” when she lived there.
