Vicki Gunvalson has been expanding her real estate portfolio recently.
And the Real Housewives of Orange County alum shared videos to her Instagram stories on Friday, as she toured her new North Carolina lake house for the first time.
The 58-year-old star purchased the house online, without viewing it first, though she said after seeing it in person it was ‘everything I thought it would be.’

It seems the reality TV star bought the home to be closer to family as they joined her to tour the new property.

Rustic: The kitchen featured light wood cabinets, a large island with bar seating, and dark granite counter tops that complimented cool toned back splash
