Shortly after buying a traditional in Manhattan Beach for $5.5 million in the winter of 2018, Zooey Deschanel listed this other traditional in Manhattan Beach for $5.25 million. The actress purchased the home in 2015, paying $4.6 million. When the dust had settled and the ink had dried, she’d sold it for $4.7 million.
The house dates to 2014, and boasts interior architecture that takes best advantage of its location. It’s a sunny, bright, and for the most part unpretentious living style, supported by abundant glass, and the comfort of the familiar: fireplaces, warm hardwood, and Americana galore.
The kitchen is the standout in the open-concept common area, with a farmhouse sink, subway tile, and marble slab countertops presided over by a series of industrial-luxe pendant fixtures. The home’s six bedrooms and 6.5 baths culminate in a spacious master with a fireplace and sliding glass doors that open to a private terrace.
The lot is fairly small, but quite private, and there’s adequate room for plenty of patio space, a few mature trees, and a nice swath of lawn.
