Brown bought the 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom home for $1,550,000, reports Zillow.com, which listed the property back in 2009 for $2,669,000.

The 22-year-old singer's home is eight miles away from his ex-girlfriend and singer Rihanna's home, according to Zillow.com. Brown infamously pleaded guilty to assaulting Rihanna in 2009.

Rihanna's home is currently on the market as a short sale for $4.5 million.
