“The midcentury house, a post-and-beam design dating to 1959, was used for guests during Swift’s ownership.”

LOS ANGELES — Taylor Swift has completed her shake-up in Beverly Hills, selling a midcentury modern-style home for $2.65 million.

Earlier this year, the Grammy-winning singersong­writer sold another house on the same street for $4 million.

The midcentury house, a post-and-beam design dating to 1959, was used for guests during Swift’s ownership, which spanned about six years. The other property — a country-vibe estate set on more than half an acre — had been her main residence.

The single-story house she just sold had been extensivel­y updated and has four bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms in 2,950 square feet of interior space. Among its features are beamed ceilings, walls of windows and a 1,000bottle climate-controlled wine cellar. A large skylight floods the entry with natural light.

The living and dining rooms take in views of the leafy backyard, which holds a lagoon-style swimming pool. A cozy breakfast booth with built-in seating and bookshelve­s adjoins the kitchen area.

Decking and a central courtyard create additional living space outside.

Swift, among the bestsellin­g music artists of all time, has 10 Grammys to her name, including two for album of the year (“Fearless” and “1989”). Last year the 28-year-old released “Reputation.”
