Rich cribs: Alicia Keys sells manse

The seven-bedroom, 6 1/2-bath, 9,000-square-foot house went into contract March 11, according to real estate records. Keys put the 2.2-acre property on the market in June 2010 for $3.85 million. She lowered the price in November to $2.995 million.

The contract price has not yet been disclosed.
