Former 98 Degrees lead singer Nick Lachey spent a little holiday time signing papers to take ownership of this property in Southern California. The house—a charming traditional on a green and leafy lot— is located in Tarzana and was previously the home of NFL player Randall Cobb.

The 7,000 sq. ft. home’s exterior architecture mixes Cape and Modern Farmhouse styles. Inside, the five-bedroom home is designed to appeal to lovers of contemporary sensibilities. Its primary living area is the open-concept kitchen-dayroom-family room progression with a retractable glass partial that allows patio access. A coffered ceiling adds a touch of the aristocratic to the area, while built-in shelves and a simple neoclassical fireplace surround add a little easygoing cottage style.

A sunny formal dining room is situated a judicious distance from the casual family-oriented space. The home also features a second dining room, a transition room with fold-away glass walls, and a large outdoor living area. Amenities include a games room, a gym, and a media room.
