The centuries-old building is about 10,653 square-foot and situated in the area of La Jolla, California. It is popularly called "Razor House" due to its precise design and location and is compared to the infamous "Iron Man's" mansion.

Alicia's new keys opened the door to a home that speaks nothing but excellence. The house is as commendable as her music, so it's no surprise the award-winning artist chose to settle for this piece.
