With the official move from Hawaii to California, Nick and Vanessa Lachey are leaving their opulent Honolulu property for an equally lavish home in Los Angeles. The hosts of the reality TV show have offered their resort-style home on Oahu’s Kahala Beach for $9.8 million after just two years of ownership. They have also paid $6.8 million for brand-new, contemporary farmhouse-style apartments nestled away in a desirable Encino neighborhood.
The married stars paid $8.8 million for their Hawaiian residence shortly after Vanessa was chosen for the 2021 season of NCIS: Hawaii on CBS. In a 2022 article, Vanessa stated, “We thought we were going to do a Hawaii to L.A. ‘travel-on-the-weekend’ thing.” “We now own Hawaii license plates after selling our house.” Their choice to sell up so quickly was undoubtedly influenced by the news that the three-season police procedural was canceled in April.
Their recently purchased US residence was constructed in 2023 on a private cul-de-sac lot that was about half an acre in size. The two-tone building has a sports court that is tucked away to the side and a double-gated circular driveway that leads to 8,300 square feet of three-level living space with white oak floors, high ceilings, and designer lighting throughout. It also has an attached three-car garage and six bedrooms.
A towering wood door pivots open into the foyer, which flows to a fireside living room, an en-suite guest bedroom, and another bedroom that’s been converted into an office. Beyond a wood-railed floating staircase, an expansive great room holds a formal dining area and a family room spotlighted by a linear marble fireplace and pocketing glass doors spilling out to a covered terrace flanked by a barbecue station. An adjacent gourmet kitchen is outfitted with stone countertops, a large eat-in island, top-notch Thermador appliances, and a butler’s pantry just around the corner.
Elsewhere, the lower level comes complete with a vaulted safe room, a movie theater, a gym, a recreation room, and a seated bar with a glass-encased wine wall, while the upstairs primary suite flaunts a fireplace, dual designer showroom closets, and a luxe marble bath equipped with two vanities, a makeup counter, a soaking tub, and a steam shower. The amenities continue outdoors, where the turf-clad backyard hosts a pool with a Baja shelf and a spa and a fire pit conversation area nestled alongside a cabana.
Nick, 50, and Vanessa, 43, met back in the early 2000s when he was a member of the boy band 98 Degrees and she was a veejay for MTV’s Total Request Live. They went on to wed in the summer of 2011 and have since welcomed three children. The pair currently co-hosts Netflix’s reality dating shows Love Is Blind and The Ultimatum, with Nick also handling solo hosting duties for Perfect Match. Before moving to Hawaii, the couple sold an L.A.-area home to tennis pro Naomi Osaka for $6.3 million.
The Encino listing was held by Danielle Peretz and Oran Peretz of The Beverly Hills Estates; Craig Knizek of The Agency repped the buyers.
