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.
