The Big Bang Theory's Kaley Cuoco listed her California mansion just as the final episodes
of her mega-hit series aired.
Located in Tarzana, a San Fernando Valley neighborhood in Los Angeles, Cuoco's home
is gorgeous, though that should go without saying.
Here's a detailed look at her abode.
When Cuoco purchased her sprawling Mediterranean-style mansion back in 2014, the previous owner had
already gotten the house professionally decorated by interior designer Jeff Andrews.
And, because this is L.A., the previous owner just happened to be Khloé Kardashian.
As Cuoco wrote in the foreword of the interior designer’s book The New Glamor,
"I fell in love with the house but also everything that came with it."
The actress also recruited Andrews to help her personalize the mansion even more.
The interior designer wrote in his book,
"Kaley asked for a home with vibrant energy, something that captured her own voice...Kaley
is so drop-dead funny that it felt as if I was translating her cheerful disposition into
the design itself."
The interior of Cuoco's home is stunning, but the home's exterior and location are also
spectacular.
It's one of 10 homes in the super private, and gated, and guarded, Mulholland Park.
Despite the small community, the mansion still sits on a sizable three-quarter-acre lot.
The car court at the front of the home features a Mediterranean fountain and plenty of space
for guest parking.
Several large palm trees accent the front of the villa and tower above the terracotta
tile roof.
The backyard is somehow even more impressive.
The property offers the feeling of a resort thanks to its large pool with water features,
a spa, fire pits, an outdoor kitchen, and a covered arbor.
The wrap-around balcony also allows for a near panoramic view of the property, which
is surrounded by lush vegetation and mature trees.
If you were to enter the front door of Cuoco's Mediterranean-inspired mansion, your jaw would
likely drop due to the dramatic two-story foyer and sweeping staircase, which, according
to the listing, sets the tone for this breathtaking home.
We'd say that's definitely accurate.
A large modern pendant provides a focal point in the center of the room.
Mirrors were also added to the second story walls, which makes the already impressive
foyer appear more grand.
From the hall, you can enter one of several arched entrances which will lead you to the
living room, dining room, or family room, all connected to the kitchen.
Head up the staircase and you'll find Cuoco's collection of eight unusual and playful portraits
on the second floor.
A set of French doors opposite the stairway leads to a small balcony overlooking the front
of the home.
It's pretty much the epitome of modern opulence.
Andrews used lots of color for Cuoco’s home.
Just off the foyer, the sunken living room is most certainly welcoming and cheery.
Citing the interior designer’s book, People reported that one of the rugs in the room
was custom-made to match the colors in the actress's favorite painting.
If your eyes were immediately drawn to the bright textiles in the room, you might've
missed that it's not just one wall that's covered in wallpaper.
The entire space, even the ceiling, is cloaked in black and white wallpaper.
Although the minimalist aesthetic has picked up steam in recent years, Cuoco has certainly
not abandoned her love of color or pattern.
Pops of color may not have been the only thing you spotted in Cuoco's living room.
Cuoco revealed that she had a swing in her mansion in an interview on Jimmy Kimmel Live,
saying:
"So, I kind of like weird stuff.
I sent an email to my interior decorator one night.
I said, 'Hey.
What do you think, I know this is crazy, what do you think about having a swing in my house?'
But that's all I wrote, and he didn't respond to me for a while."
Cuoco thought it would be a cool idea, and didn’t think much about how that might have
sounded over email.
Later, though Andrews finally sent her a response,
"He's like, 'Are you thinking, like, in the bedroom?
Like what kind of swing?'
He thought it was like a sex swing!
I'm like 'No, I want a normal, living room swing!'"
The actress thought that it would be nice to be able to watch TV while swinging her
legs.
However, she said her dogs have claimed it as their own.
She joked,
"It's the most expensive dog bed I've ever bought."
In June 2017, Andrews shared an in-progress picture of the large alcove and built-in bar
on Instagram.
He captioned the photo:
"Sneak peak at the bar we just installed.
I'm obsessed!"
The combination of white and gold geometric tiles with the marble countertop and gold
faucet was drool-worthy even before it was finished.
Now that it's styled to Cuoco’s Mad-Men-esque taste, it's that much more impressive.
Like the living room, the bar space features the same black and white wallpaper on the
ceiling and side walls.
There are also pieces of vivid artwork, modern lucite barstools, and, of course, copious
amounts of booze and barware.
The actress gushed about the addition to her home in an interview with People Magazine,
calling it "so badass."
We can definitely understand why Cuoco was filmed in this space, drink in hand, during
her interview with Vogue back in March 2018.
There is a central theme running throughout Cuoco's home: horses.
The sitcom star was an avid horseback rider until 2010 when a "freak accident" resulted
in a serious injury that nearly required her to have her foot amputated.
Cuoco told People,
"All the horse touches in the house make it feel like home."
Despite her injury, Cuoco told The Talk ahead of The Big Bang Theory series finale that
she was looking forward to getting back into competitive horseback riding.
As Cuoco explained,
"I'm an equestrian.
I love horses...I'd actually really like to challenge myself a little bit more in that
area."
Cuoco isn't the only equestrian that lives in the Tarzana mansion, though.
Her husband, Karl Cook, is also an accomplished horseback rider.
We love imagining the couple starting their mornings in their breakfast nook, complete
with its horse print Hermés wallpaper.
Cuoco's kitchen is a chef’s dream.
While she's not a professional, Cuoco does admit she likes cooking.
Back when she shared her home with her now-ex Ryan Sweeting, she told Redbook,
"I cook for Ryan five nights a week: It makes me feel like a housewife; I love that."
The pale gray cabinetry and white marble countertops with black hardware give the kitchen a more
minimalist feel, but there's nothing minimal about the patterns in this space.
The ceiling is covered in a black and white metallic patterned wallpaper and the kitchen
walls are tiled with geometric tiles from counter-height to ceiling.
The large copper farmhouse-style sink adds another metallic touch.
The bold kitchen also features plenty of space for both food prep and eating.
The center of the kitchen is fitted with a large island with an additional sink.
At the opposite side of the room, there is also a two-tier island with seating on both
sides.
Cuoco’s dining room takes us out of the city and into the jungle.
Textured wallpaper lines all of the walls in the dining room, but it's more understated
than the wallpaper in other rooms.
The burlap-colored drapes are similarly calm.
If you're wondering how a primarily beige room could be bold, we hear you.
But it's actually the furniture and accents that do all of the talking in this space.
Gold chairs, with velvet backs and furry seats, no less, flank an expansive, low-profile glass
dining table in the center of the room.
Hammered brass chairs at the head and foot of the table serve up some added glam.
Above the sideboard, you'll notice an interesting painting of a tiger with, um, something between
its jaws.
A dining room is for chowing down, after all.
Cuoco's laundry room is a perfect example of why laundry is the least hated chore in
the country, according to Real Simple.
The large galley-style room features built-in cabinetry just the same as the kitchen.
Far from a little closet, this space has two windows that overlook the property.
There's even a flat-screen television to watch while folding clothes.
The room also has two large washing machines and two dryers for doing multiple loads at
once.
Plus, there's a sink for hand-washing delicates.
Although it may be a functional room, Cuoco added wallpaper and an amber-colored chandelier
to the ceiling.
Okay, we're ready to do our laundry now!
Since Cuoco handed over the reins of designing the living areas of her home, it's no surprise
she trusted Andrews with the bedrooms.
For one of the guest bedrooms, Andrews chose a metallic, cream, and gray color scheme and
purchased furniture from Wayfair.
Cuoco couldn’t help but show her love for Andrews to Glamour, saying:
"He gets me and my taste."
Cuoco gave a partial tour of the more intimate areas of her Californian mansion to Allure
and dubbed a downstairs bedroom with ensuite bathroom her "special boudoir".
She also has "a more personal boudoir", the master bedroom with adjoining bathroom and
large walk-in closet, upstairs.
That room also makes use of a bright, yet zen, metallic color palette.
You can't be a Hollywood actress without an in-home movie theater, right?
Cuoco just so happens to have an awesome space to screen The Flight Attendant or Harley Quinn
or rewatch all 12 seasons of The Big Bang Theory, or anything else she might want to
watch.
The room has a different vibe than the rest of the home.
In fact, if you didn't notice the equestrian art in the space, you might not think it was
in Cuoco's mansion.
Unlike the bold or metallic rooms elsewhere in the house, this room has a cigar lounge
feel to it.
A pale pink sofa and two neutral chaise loungers are arranged to comfortably view the giant
screen, which is housed in a dark wooden built-in.
It's way more regal than your local Regal Cinema.
The room has paneled walls, soft pendant lighting against a dark ceiling, and even large accent
panels of live-edge wood.
Another fabulous room, of course.
While showing Allure around her home, the former Big Bang Theory actress gave a tour
of what the listing cites as a posh master bath.
In the interview, you can see the star's impressive soaking tub beneath a set of windows, which
offers a panorama of the property.
Um, forget about the pool out back, that's the place to be.
According to the listing, the room also has a vanity with double sinks and a musical shower,
with added customizable temperature settings, naturally.
While giving Allure the master bathroom tour, she also gave a sneak peek of some of her
favorite beauty products from within her medicine cabinet.
Her top three products were her Donna Karan Cashmere Mist deodorant, Pomegranate Noir
perfume by Jo Malone, and her MAC Lip Conditioner.
Cuoco's master bedroom doesn't just attach to a ginormous spa-like bathroom, it also
attaches to not one, not two, but three connecting walk-in closets.
We're not making this up.
She told Allure during their tour:
"This is more of my boudoir.
As you can see, I enjoy getting ready in every area of my house."
The first walk-in closet has racks for hanging clothes and a wrap-around shelf for hats.
A center island and a built-in chest of drawers may provide storage for folded clothes or
seasonal items.
A large gold floor-to-ceiling mirror also fills the space.
This first closet leads to another walk-in, which has shelves upon shelves for Cuoco and
her husband's shoes.
We may never know what's in the third closet as it can't be seen in the on-camera interview
nor on the property listing.
Nevertheless, you can certainly understand why Allure's Jamie Greenberg said she felt
like she was at a huge Bloomingdale’s.
We don't know about Cuoco, but we'd sure miss this house.
