Zendaya purchased her very first home in Los Angeles for $1.4 million when she was only 20
years old. From the home’s dreamy grand staircase to its illustrious outdoor patio and pool,
let's take a look at the actress' not-so-humble abode.
Zendaya's home is situated in Northridge, California,
a suburb that's over 30 miles north of downtown Los Angeles. From a real estate standpoint,
the neighborhood is quite diverse, featuring homes ranging from $418,000 to $9 million,
according to Trulia's neighborhood overview.
The star paid a hefty price for her starter home. Per Trulia,
she purchased her Northridge mansion for a whopping $1.4 million in 2016. However, that's
probably nothing for the actress, whose net worth is $15 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth.
Zendaya isn't the only celebrity who's owned property in Northridge.
Fellow actresses Chloë Grace Moretz and Bella Thorne, as well as reality TV star
Kylie Jenner, have all owned homes in the neighborhood, according to Trulia.
Northridge is also home to California State University Northridge. Interestingly,
the city was originally called North Los Angeles, due to its location. Northridge is also diverse,
not only in real estate prices but also in its population.
Zendaya has yet to play a Disney princess, but we bet her home's spiral staircase
makes her feel like one on a daily basis. When you enter her home, a grand entryway
featuring vaulted ceilings and a dramatic staircase with an overlook area greets you.
The brown-and-white staircase is made even more grand with its custom wrought-iron railing.
Over the years, Zendaya has shared several images on Instagram from her home,
including the staircase, which served as the backdrop of her giant Christmas tree in 2016.
In one of her Instagram photos, Zendaya is seen on a ladder putting lights on the tree. In the
caption, she confessed she never thought she'd have a spiral staircase at the age of 20, adding:
"I'm so grateful and appreciative for everything I have cause none of it was given,
none of it started like this."
She went on to express her gratitude for her "amazing family," writing:
"I'm just an Oakland girl ... who worked her ass off and got a lil lucky."
According to Realtor.com, when Zendaya purchased her home in 2016, it had just undergone a rebuild.
As a result, the Mediterranean-style mansion features tons of cool features,
including LED recessed lighting, a surround-sound audio system, three balconies, a three-car garage,
porcelain flooring, a retiled pool and spa, and smooth stucco and molding on the exterior.
Of course, when Zendaya moved in, she added a few of her own touches. In an Allure article
published in 2016, the writer noted that she had met with the actress at her then-"new" home,
where she was installing a security camera. At the time, Zendaya's estate was a blank slate. However,
over the years, she's made the house a home. She gave Vogue an inside look in 2019,
mostly of her stunning backyard, for the mag's "73 Questions" video series,
with the patio furniture out and the pool looking inviting. More on that in a bit.
Zendaya's glamorous and ample kitchen is every at-home cook's dream. The white
gourmet kitchen features plenty of cabinet space and a large island, with storage for
wine bottles and seating area. Stainless steel appliances, a marble-tile backsplash, and the
perfect amount of sunlight streaming through the windows behind the sink round out the kitchen,
which overlooks the family room and its views of the resort-style backyard oasis.
Zendaya gave a glimpse of her dreamy kitchen in an Instagram video where her niece is pictured
sitting on the shiny island counter next to her birthday cake with fresh flowers behind her.
Her kitchen was also featured in a video series called "Cooking with the Colemans" in 2017,
giving fans an inside look at Zendaya's family and her home life and cooking skills.
With a kitchen like that, we'd cook any day.
With five bedrooms, five bathrooms, and plenty of outdoor space, Zendaya's bachelorette pad
has more than enough space for visiting family and friends and her dog Noon.
“Noony! Noon! Love me!”
And it looks like Noon is enjoying the Northridge pad just as much as Zendaya,
according to a string of photos shared on her Instagram account. The set of three photos
shows the pupper soaking in the pool with his mom, who's dressed in a bright yellow bikini.
Zendaya posted an Instagram video in 2018 of her and her niece watching the
movie "Sing" in her cozy family room, fit with a gray sectional,
a round glass coffee table, and the backdrop of her white gourmet kitchen.
The room has access to the stunning pool area through either of two sets of French doors.
No Los Angeles mansion is complete without an Instagram-worthy pool,
and the one at Zendaya's California pad is no exception. Her pool, which features a
waterfall and jacuzzi, is surrounded by lounge chairs and patio furniture shaded by umbrellas,
a fire pit, and a barbecue grill, according to Realtor.com. Plus,
there's a seating area under the covered porch and a large balcony overlooking the pool,
making Zendaya's home a great spot for entertaining family and friends all summer long.
Zendaya showed off her stunning backyard, including her collection of lemon trees,
in an episode of Vogue's "73 Questions" video series. At the start of the interview,
Zendaya is seen picking lemons off a tree and offering one to the interviewer,
giving off the appearance that she's settled quite well into life at home in Northridge.
“Yeah. Do you want one?”
“Uh, sure I’ll take it.”
“Here, I’ll start it off for ya.”
“Okay, I trust you.”
“Try it.”
“Alright.”
The style of Zendaya's home can be described as modern and cozy,
based solely on her bedroom suite and powder room. Both rooms exude warmth, with tones of beige and
white throughout — perfect to retreat to after a long day. Then there are the modern amenities,
such as a freestanding tub, spa-like shower, and custom fireplace for those cold Los Angeles
nights — plus resort-style views of the yard from the private balcony, according to Trulia.
The vanity area, located en route to the suite's bathroom,
features a large, white-framed mirror with white cabinets for all of Zendaya's beauty tools.
Inside the bathroom is the large glass shower, which features an extensive sitting area for a
spa-like feel and views of nature from the bay windows just above the tub.
With a bathroom like that, we bet Zendaya takes a bath to unwind on a regular basis. We would
if we were her! The bathroom also features dual sinks and polished tile throughout, giving it a
glamorous vibe. With all she's done in her career, Zendaya has totally earned the stylish space.
