Debbie along with her sister Vicki (who currently lives in Calabasas) hooked up with Susanna Hoffs in 1980 to form the The Bangles which was originally named The Colours, followed by The Supersonic Bangs, then The Bangs, and finally The Bangles. According to Wikipedia, the Peterson sisters were both born in Northridge although Vicki's personal bio on The Bangles website says Burbank while Debbie's says Los Angeles. I am not sure if the Peterson sisters grew up in Northridge or other parts of the Valley. Enjoy some of the top hits below from The Bangles like Walk Like an Egyptian and Hazy Shade of Winter.
Starting with the home that was sold (shown above), it measured 3 Beds/3 Baths on 2,127 sqft on a total lot size of 9,845 sqft built in 1985. Peterson purchased this home on June 21, 1988 for $330,000 back in the previous mini-bubble days of the housing market. She successfully sold the home for $582,500 on March 8, 2012 netting a gain of $252,500 before taxes, commissions, fees, carrying costs, and any renovation expenses. The listing description is below:
