Kim Kardashian and Kanye West Rumors: Celebrity Couple Buys Neighbor's House for "Total Tear Down"

Kim Kardashian, the "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" star and her rapper husband Kanye West seem to be expanding in the Hidden Hills area of California as several reports have it that the couple has purchased a neighboring residence for $2.9 million.

Sources close to the couple told E!Online that the power pair snapped up the plot right beside their large $20 million estate they purchased in August 2014. The source also added that the site is a "total tear down," which could mean the couple is planning to expand. If they do add it to their huge 3.5 acre-estate, the couple will be the "monopoly on the block," the source added.

Kim and Kanye lived in Kim's momager Kris Jenner's Calabasas house for quite some time before finally settling into their huge Hidden Hills estate. They had purchased a Bel-Air Spread last year for $11 million and embarked on a massive renovation to add everything from a parlor to a hospital to the house.

But since the renovations were taking too long, they decided to sell it off.

"When we bought our Bel Air house, we didn't have a baby, we weren't even pregnant. After you have a baby, you realize that you need so many other things and a different kind of space. So being in the city is a different life. We wanted to be away and have more privacy," Kim explained to People Magazine in a former interview.

They sold the Bel Air home off in the half-finished state and instead settled for the Hidden Hills home.

Spread over 3.5 acres, the compound includes an 8,000-square-foot, single-family residence that has eight bedrooms and 10 bathrooms, two swimming pools and a full-fledged vineyard in the backyard among other luxury amenities.

While there is no intel about what the couple plans on building on the empty lot, their extravagant ways should definitely mean something super luxurious is being planned. Probably a separate wing for North West?

Kim and Kanye have a knack for spoiling their baby with expensive presents. For Christmas this year, baby North got a Dolce and Gabbana jacket with "North" encrusted on it in Swarovski Crystals from Kim while Kanye got her a diamond studded Tiara!
