Cardi B has given fans a glimpse at her luxurious new home she will share with her husband Offset in New York City.
The rapper, 29, took to Instagram on Wednesday and gave her followers a behind the scenes tour of the property before the renovations began.
The house had no furniture and had not been painted yet in the clip, which Cardi said was filmed back in May.

The entrance to the home features a large hallway and a dramatic double staircase leading to the second floor while another room featured French doors.
There is plenty of space for the couple and their daughter Kulture, three, and two-month-old son with the person filming the clip heard saying: ‘It looks huge’.
Cardi captioned the video: ‘Back in May now it’s mine! Put your mind to it!!!’
The hitmaker shared a photo of herself taking in the view by her staircase on Tuesday as she celebrated finally having a house of her own in her ‘home city.’

Cardi wrote in her caption that it was a dream come true to have a place to herself in her hometown, though her busy touring schedule made it hard to classify any city as her home base.

‘These days I don’t just live one place, I’m everywhere due to my work,’ she explained. ‘One thing for sure I needed a home in my home city of NY!
‘I’m soo proud of myself,’ she gushed. ‘I work so hard for my children to be comfortable everywhere they are regardless of work. Me and my husband have always dreamed of having a crib in NY, and we have decided to add to our portfolio of homes, along with Atlanta and LA.’
Part of the appeal of a New York home was being so much closer to family.

The new home comes at a perfect time, as she and Offset welcomed their second child, a baby boy whose named hasn’t yet been revealed, in early September.
The couple already share their three-year-old daughter Kulture.
Cardi and Offset seem to be on a buying spree, as the Migos member presented her with an investment property in the Dominican Republic earlier this month as a birthday present.

Their new $1.5 million villa is located in a tony neighborhood and features six bedrooms and an equal number of bathrooms across 7,000 square feet, along with a separate studio and two pools on the 0.37-acre property to help beat the heat.
Offset bought the villa via the Brandi Hunter Luxury Group, and he posed with company owner Brandi Hunter-Lewis in an Instagram photo to celebrate his wife’s gift.
On Instagram, Cardi revealed that she’d been hoping to focus on ‘short term home rental properties,’ which her husband’s gift would help her accomplish.
‘For a hot minute now I’ve been telling Set that I really want to invest in short term home rental properties in the DR and other Caribbean countries (since people vacation all year around in those locations), but I felt like he didn’t agree with me and would rather put money into other investments,’ she wrote.

‘Well, I was wrong. I just can’t believe this! This was sooo amazing to me,’ she gushed. ‘For one, I’m so happy that you were actually really listening to me and not just smiling and nodding your head so I could stop talkin to you about it.
‘Two, you don’t think my investment ideas are wack and three, I love that you asked my dad to work with you on this. You and my dad (and the [mother holding baby emoji]) are the most important men in my life and it makes me so happy that you guys are close and have your own bond and relationship,’ she concluded.
Back in 2019, the rapping couple purchased an enormous mansion in Atlanta for just under $5.8 million.

Although she mentioned a home in Los Angeles in her caption, it’s not clear that the two have purchased a West Coast home yet, though it may be next in their sights.
Back in 2017, Cardi described living in an apartment in Edgewater, New Jersey, in a profile for The Fader.
The apartment was a half-hour drive from New York under the best traffic conditions, and her rent was $3,000 per month, far less than she would have paid for an apartment of similar size in New York.
However, as Cardi has had several hit singles and the acclaimed album Invasion Of Privacy, she can now afford more lavish homes across the country.
