Accordingto Variety, Deschanel bought the home for $5.575 million in January 2018, around the same time that Deschanel and her now-ex-husband Jacob Pechenikseparated (he filed for divorce in October 2019). So it’s safe to say that this is Deschanel’s house and hers alone.

That painting might not be Deschanel’s, although some would say it fits her personality, which many have coined to be “adorkable.” Although the actress says that description came froma manufactured marketing campaign for “New Girl.”

Heading Downstairs

While the house is spectacular upstairs, the coolest rooms are in the basement.

Her House Is Pricier Than Most

According to Zillow, the median list price of homes sold in Manhattan Beach over the past year is $2.18 million. Her house is listed for nearly three times that amount.

Selling in Manhattan Beach

This isn’t the first house that Deschanel purchased in the area. In 2015, Deschanel and her ex-husband bought another Cape Cod-style home in Manhattan Beach for $4.57 million.

Off to a New Property

They put it up for sale for $5.25 million in 2018, but it languished on the market until August 2019 until it finally sold for $4.7 million,according to Variety. This one might sell much faster — it’s been on the market for less than three weeks and already has a contingent offer,according to the listing.

Looking for a New House with Scott?

Deschanel and Scott met during the filming of a "Carpool Karaoke: The Series" show in August 2019. They hit it off right away.

“Their wedding was the most beautiful, amazing, incredible thing ever,” Scott said about his twin brother's 2018 wedding. "The bar has been raised so high. Maybe I'll just elope! No, I mean right now we’re just reveling in the fact that we love each other madly and were still discovering each other," he told ET Online.
