THIS is the £15 million mansion Posh and Becks want to snap up — and look who's already Cruised into the neighbourhood. Superstar pals Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes live next door to the SEVEN-BEDROOM dream home in Beverly Hills — and that's one of the reasons the Beckhams are so keen on it.The luxury pad, which comes with a TENNIS COURT, HOME CINEMA and massive SWIMMING POOL. The master suite provides views over Los Angeles and there are six other bedrooms, SEVEN bathrooms and a separate GUEST APARTMENT.
The ranch-style interior has an open-plan kitchen, lounge and bar, and a massive reception room. Outside, there is a plush entertaining area under a verandah and SIX fountains. The long sweeping drive and secluded grounds will provide security and privacy. And the two-acre landscaped garden backs on to Tom and Katie's place —pretty handy if the Beckhams ever run out of sugar or need to know more about Scientology.
Victoria, 33, and David, 31, have been hunting for a new home since he signed for the LA Galaxy soccer team earlier this year. They are expected to complete the move to America with kids Brooklyn, eight, Romeo, four and two-year-old Cruz in July.
A source close to the couple said: "It's been a long process trying to find the ideal home but this one ticks the most boxes. "Despite the lavish gardens and incredible luxury it needs a bit of work but the fact that it is so close to Tom and Katie's house is ideal for Victoria. "If everything's in order they'll sign the paperwork. The work should be done by the time they are ready to move in."
Posh and Katie struck up a friendship at Paris Fashion Week last year. The Beckhams then went to Katie and Tom's wedding in Italy in November. Neighbours of the Cruises last night confirmed representatives of the Beckhams had checked out the pad. One said: "We have heard that Beckham has looked at the property and put in an offer. They love the home — and the fact it is near their friends."
