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

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.

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.

    Project: Residential House Architect: Taller de Diseño Exterior y Arquitectura René Caro Jesús López Collaborators: José Antonio Díaz, Karen Oaxaca Tanamachi, Daniel Rivas , Jorge Carrillo Photography: Lorena Darquea
    Area: 240 m2
    Location: Zapopan, Jalisco
    Project date: 2018
    Construction date: 2018-2019 The renovation and extension of this hermetic and rigorous house to transform it into a place of contemplation and enjoyment of the landscape had, as a guiding principle, the idea of the garden as scenario.The activities that were already happening in the house, as well as those new added to the architectural program have been organized and oriented looking for a more intimate relation from the inside outwards. Three gardens, three scenarios, three expressions. We have designed a grid of full and empty spaces, where to contemplate, wander around and just be part of them, is equally enjoyable, creating a fusion between the being and dwelling. We have chosen neutral materiality and geometry for the corridors, terraces, and indoor spaces, to enhance the presence of the Three Gardens.
