Leighton Meester Lists Encino Home
Leighton Meester is best known for having played snooty Blair Waldorf on the hit CW show “Gossip Girl.” Blair, a gorgeous socialite, got up to no end of intrigues and schemes alongside her best friend Serena and on again/off again lover, Chuck Bass, but Meester herself is a lot more low-key. She’s been wedded for almost a year to fellow actor Adam Brody (late of “The OC,” another teen drama) and has a burgeoning career as a singer in the works.
The home looks unassuming, but it is lovely inside.
Meester has listed the Encino, California home that she has occupied since 2011, when she was single. It’s on the market for a cool $2.35 million, and located near Ventura Boulevard in the Royal Oaks gated community. She has extensively remodeled the home, which she initially bought for just under $1.5 million.
The home features four bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms over 2,847 square feet. Bonus features include a tiered back yard and saltwater swimming pool complete with pool house (with changing room, bar, speakers, and a refrigerator). There’s a security system tricked out with no less than eight cameras, and the property line is both gated and fenced. It sports plenty of features that make it great for entertaining, including hidden ceiling speakers, an open floor plan, and a layout that brings in the beauty of the outdoors.
Encino isn’t the first neighborhood that comes to mind when one thinks of where movie stars live, but it definitely offers more bang for the proverbial buck than some of Los Angeles’ flashier communities. Meester formerly owned a home in New York City (where “Gossip Girl” was filmed) as well. It remains to be seen where she’ll end up next!
