Property Brother Jonathan Scott & Zooey Deschanel Offer Sneak Peek of Newly Renovated Home

While discussing their new home, Deschanel admitted that it was love at first sight. “As soon as we pulled into the driveway, we knew this house was special,” she said in the issue. Scott added, “The abundant trees on the property make it the perfect place for kids— and maybe a kid at heart named Drew—to climb and play, and for us to watch them as we sit in the shade.”

The renovation took two years to complete due to the pandemic, supply chain and other issues. “It was really hands-on for both of us,” Deschanel admitted. “Many Saturdays, we sat searching for the right details to add to this home.” This included everything from colorful wallpaper to modern fixtures.

She continued, “This is a house that suits our tastes and needs, aesthetically and functionally. Jonathan is so amazing at figuring that out. He’s been doing it for his clients for so long, and now he’s done that for us and our family.”

One of Deschanel’s requests included adding a solarium with a glass ceiling, olive trees and a water feature. So, Scott transformed an ordinary porch into a natural light sanctuary. “Jonathan knows whether an idea is practical or not,” the actress said. “And he knew just how to turn this patio on the asymmetrical side of the house into a solarium.”

It has become Scott’s “favorite room in the whole house.”

To celebrate their new home, Scott gifted a grand piano to Deschanel. “One of my favorite things is coming home to Zooey playing music,” he said.

The TV personality also used nothing but the best in terms of technology. “It still looks like it could be a 100-year-old home, but it’s now LEED-certified and will end up using less grid energy than a small apartment,” he explained. “This isn’t just a smart house. It’s a genius one.”
