“New Girl” star Jake Johnson has offloaded his private Pasadena retreat for $3.8 million—$530,000 over his asking price of $3.3 million.
Just two weeks after the actor, best known for portraying Nick Miller on the hit comedy series, listed the four-bedroom, four-bathroom property, which offers approximately 3,153 square feet of living space, it has been snapped up.
A source told Realtor.com® that the property garnered over 14 offers in the two weeks it was on the market.
Tucked behind private gates, the architectural residence combines modern design with an abundance of outdoor space, offering a secluded escape from the bustle of Los Angeles.
The property, which was listed with Thomas Atamian of Coldwell Banker Realty, underwent a remodel in 2004 by architect Aleks Istanbullu.
The renovation brought a contemporary aesthetic to the home, emphasizing natural light, open living spaces, and a seamless connection to the surrounding greenery.
Inside, hardwood floors and warm wood finishes complement the home’s expansive windows, which offer views of the landscaped grounds.
The main living and dining areas flow into one another, creating an airy setting for entertaining or relaxing at home.
Nearby, the kitchen features custom wood cabinetry, high-end appliances, and a spacious countertop with bar seating.
Sliding glass doors further connect the interior to the outdoor areas, allowing the lush backyard to serve as an extension of the home’s living space.
The primary suite offers its own private escape, complete with vaulted ceilings, a fireplace, and a remodeled walk-in closet.
The bedroom also overlooks the backyard, while the adjoining bathroom features Italian blue glass tile, giving the space a spa-inspired appearance.
Elsewhere, a private sunroom with a sauna provides another place to unwind without leaving the property.
The home’s appeal extends beyond the main residence, with two additional detached structures that could accommodate a variety of uses.
According to the listing description, the separate spaces could be transformed into a home office, fitness area, or creative studio, depending on the next owner’s needs.
Outdoors, a swimming pool anchors the backyard, surrounded by mature trees and multiple areas for lounging, dining, and hosting guests.
The expansive grounds also provide an added layer of privacy, shielding the property from its surrounding neighborhood.
The listing emphasized the home’s connection to nature, with its large windows, outdoor entertaining areas, and landscaped surroundings creating a retreat-like atmosphere.
For Johnson, whose portrayal of the sarcastic yet lovable Nick Miller helped make him a familiar face to television audiences, the listing marks an opportunity for a new owner to take over the secluded Pasadena property.
The actor received a Teen Choice Award nomination for his work on “New Girl,” which starred Zooey Deschanel and followed a group of roommates navigating relationships and careers in Los Angeles.
