A chic home once owned by actor and New Girl star Zooey Deschanel is now up for grabs in Los Angeles. Tucked away in the Hollywood Hills, the property was designed in 1933 by architect Ralph S. Loring. Over the years, it has attracted multiple celeb residences, with actor Mark Ruffalo owning it from 2004 to 2009, then passing the keys to Deschanel.
A mini-compound at 3295 Bennett Drive has allured many A-list stars throughout the years. The property occupies three lots, offering a half-acre gated oasis in the heart of the Hollywood Hills. Here, a living area in the newly renovated main residence is fitted with a bow-truss ceiling.

A treasured city escape, the three-bedroom, three-bath main residence measures nearly 3,000 square feet, blending original details with modern upgrades. An oversized chef’s kitchen boasts a handcrafted La Cornue stove, marble counters, as well as a large central island. Down a long hallway, the light-filled sunroom offers custom mill work and banquette seating. A wood-paneled library with original built-ins is just steps away.
Measuring 2,957 square feet, the main dwelling flows between several living spaces. The dining area sits sandwiched between the living room and kitchen.
