 The 31-year-old singer, who was brought up in the Texan city, is reported to be close to finalising a deal on the six bedroom, 16 bathroom mansion. Located in the prestigious Piney Point village, the home is reported to have been reduced from an asking price of $20 million just three years ago.

 The 25,000 square ft house sits on two acres of land and features a games room, two jacuzzis, and a pool. It also boasts a private screening room for Tina to watch all her daughter's movies and music videos on leather couches with suede upholstered walls and black out curtains. A listing describes the third floor games room as being equipped with a pool table, gaming tables and a hidden television. Judging by interior shots of the mansion, the design has been heavily influenced by French and Italian architecture, with ornate murals on the walls and intricate carved murals.

 

A photograph of one of the home's four kitchens boasts wooden units and matching floors, with marble counter-tops. And visitors to the pad would be impressed by the sweeping staircase and wrought iron bannisters. According to the home's listing, the Houston mansion contains a "mirrored elevator", granite floors with marble, semi-precious stone and gilded plaster crown moulding, frescoes and elaborately carved Corinthian capitals on interior cast stone columns. No expense is spared with wide planked walnut cherry floors and gold plated fixtures included.

The ornate Master Suite is decorated using a largely neutral colour scheme with antique plaster reliefs set into the wall facing the marble fireplace. It features two walk in closets, a built in coffee bar, granite floors with a warming system and a double entry steam shower with five shower heads. There will be plenty of room for Beyonce and husband Jay-Z to park their plush vehicles when they visit, with a four car garage on the property.

Private location: The home will keep Tina away from prying eyes with top notch security systems in place

Fashion designer Tina, who with her daughter founded family label House of Dereon, last year sold her smaller Texan home for $2,962,500. Tina's pad was on the market for nine months with no potential buyers before the 8,885-square-foot home was purchased in the summer. Tina split from Beyonce's father, record label executive Matthew back in 2011.
