commenters we found the videos from a tour

The Real Estalker led us to the news that Clay Aiken is leaving his North Carolina home behind. The American Idol star bought his home in Cary, North Carolina in 2006 for $2.361 million. The six-bedroom home is on over six acres inside a gated community. The home measures an impressive 9,392 square feet and has a large home theater, professional kitchen, bonus rooms, recreation room, exercise area and a marble foyer with a curved staircase.

Aiken has moved on and the home is bare of furniture but thanks to to the Real Estalker's astute commenters we found the videos from a tour he gave local television station WRAL when he moved in. Those videos (posted after the jump) deliver details including the fact that everything in his kitchen has to be blue and silver. The game room in the basement has red cabinets, a retro stainless steel backsplash and a black and white floor.

In the videos it is shown outfitted as a 1950s diner-style space where once fellow American Idol contestants Kelly Clarkson and Ruben Studdard competed in a friendly game of pool. Now the bare home theater has just a single row of seats but when Aiken was in residence the lower tiers of the room were stuffed with large bean bag chairs. Aiken also had an "Africa room," a guest bedroom decorated with art he gathered from around the world during his trips for UNICEF. The home is listed at $2.7 million with LaChapelle Properties.
