PopGoesTheNews.com Could it be that no one wants to live in a home custom-built for Canada's beloved chanteuse Celine Dion?
The Quebec-born superstar's first Florida home has been on the market for 20 months and its asking price has been slashed from $15.5 million to a mere $9 million.
Located at 370 Eagle Drive in the posh Admiral's Cove gated community in Jupiter, Florida, the 14,749-square-foot waterfront mansion is still fit for the queen of Canadian schmaltz even though Dion and husband René Angélil haven't lived there in nearly a decade. Boasting nine bedrooms and a whopping 15 bathrooms, the house has a domed stained glass skylight in the grand foyer, intricate crown moldings, two winding stairwells, a tiered theatre with a stage and a pool with custom mural privacy wall.
Dion's former abode has a sun deck on the third floor and views of the intracoastal waterway that, like the heart, go on and on.
Each bedroom has an ensuite bathroom and sitting room, while the master suite consists of (curiously) separate "his" and "her" bedrooms and bathrooms, wood-paneled walk-in closets and covered terraces.
The home was the backdrop for the first official photographs of Dion's first-born son, René-Charles, who was born in January 2001.

Dion sold the palace, which was built in 1998 for her and Angelil, to enterpreneur Richard Santulli and his wife Margaret in 2002 for $9 million (plus another $7 million for furnishings). They put the property on the market in May 2010 with a list price of $15.5 million, which was reduced to just under $14 million last August.
Dion currently has a sprawling multi-million-dollar beachfront estate on Jupiter Island, just north of Palm Beach.
