Actor Zooey Deschanel’s Former Hollywood Hills Home Needs a New Owner

ByMyProperty Life

Listed for $3M, the property comes with a recording studio, detached guest-house, and thriving garden.

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.

  • Yeronga House

    A blank canvas to create a new family home. On this slim vacant block, perched on a Brisbane ridgeline, we were engaged to design a comfortable and homely abode with the challenge set to capture the views, traverse the sloped terrain and filter the bright sunlight. We achieved this by creating a contemporary spin on the historic Queenslander whilst layering the spaces with this multi-levelled home. The heart of the home, the Kitchen and Living areas, are positioned on the middle layer and both sleep and play zones are separated out on their own floors. Everyone in the family has their place for retreat. At every opportunity there is an opening to bring light and air into the home. Vistas to the city are harnessed, and views to the neighbours are screened with the use of dense battening. Complex planning requirements meant that the home should be contained within a set envelope. This led to opportunities to create varying floor levels and introduce pitched ceilings which provide internal volume without excessive height or overwhelm to the home’s surrounds.
