Despite having owned it for over a year, Winnie Harlow’s opulent Los Angeles home still commands attention. She celebrated the purchase with an Instagram photo that received hundreds of thousands of likes. 

The fact that one of the most sought-after fashion models in the world has chosen to live in the San Fernando Valley suburb of Tarzana rather than the more conventionally stylish regions of Hollywood Hills or Beverly Hills is what makes it so intriguing.

The model’s choice to spend $3.3 million on her first Tarzana property is evidence of the neighborhood’s rising appeal. It’s easy to understand why she was drawn to this approximately 5,000 square foot home that a local developer painstakingly built. The land boasts a large backyard with covered patios, a fire pit, a barbeque area, and an amazing saltwater pool with waterfall elements. If Harlow decides to expand her estate even more, there is plenty of lush area in back that could easily fit a sports court in the future or a lovely guesthouse.

The house, which embodies the fashionable modern farmhouse design, has a two-car attached garage, a warm front entrance, and a large living room with clerestory windows and a warming fireplace. The chef’s kitchen, which has walk-in pantry, stainless steel Thermador equipment, and a charming breakfast alcove with tasteful European wood flooring, is smoothly connected to the open dining area.
