In 2013, Efron purchased the posh compound at just under $4 million. Located in the Oaks area of Los Feliz, the contemporary residence served as home to the movie star for several years before being listed on the market in December of 2020 for $5.9 million. Earlier this year, the price was reduced to $5,575,000 and once more to $5.3 million two months later. The California native currently appears to be traveling the globe for his Netflix show, “Down to Earth With Zac.” Reportedly, he has also made a real estate deal in Australia where he recently purchased a property.

Efron’s former Los Feliz residence spans 5,644 square feet and includes five bedrooms and 5.5 bathrooms. Built in 1964, the property currently emulates a contemporary aesthetic and is described as “a perfect celebrity haven.” The home is accessed from a long-gated driveway with stone pathway and glass door. The interior layout features a living room with fireplace, dining area, and walls of glass to accompany the open floor plan with seamless indoor-outdoor flow. The chef’s kitchen highlights a center island, breakfast bar with seating, and walls of storage. Stepping outside, the exterior space presents a newly renovated pool with waterfall, spa, and decks running the length of the home. The floating style stairs lead to a game room equipped with a billiard table and shuffleboard. The primary suite on the main level features dark toned walls, fireplace, and balcony offering grand views of the downtown cityscape. In addition to three more bedrooms downstairs, the property includes a separate guesthouse with its own bedroom and bathroom. Other perks of the home include an office, gym, wine cellar, carport, and security cameras.

Actress, singer, and dancer Ashley Tisdale announced her own interior design company Frenshe Interiors, which is named after her lifestyle blog Frenshe. Tisdale, 35, launched her company posting a picture via Instagram on February 24 of a kitchen she renovated with her father and contractor, Michael Tisdale.

“Welcome to my passion project! Over the years I’ve gotten to work with some amazing interior designers and learned a lot about myself in the process,” she captioned the post. “My dad and I have started to work together on projects for other clients and I can’t wait to share with you. This page will have my own work and also designs that inspire me.”

On March 4, Tisdale officially announced her company on her Frenshe blog titled “Introducing My New Passion Project: Frenche Interiors.” In the blog post, Tisdale goes into detail about her home renovation process, which unlocked her love for design.

“We were looking to move to our dream area over the last couple of years and when we got the chance we jumped at it even though the house was falling apart,” she wrote when describing bringing her house back to life.

The project began as a personal home renovation project, which turned into her new interior design business. The renovated home is located in Los Angeles’s Los Feliz neighborhood and was sold for $5.78 million.

Tisdale included before and after pictures of the property, so people can see how her vision came to life. Alongside her dad, Tisdale maintained the integrity of the home, while renovating much of the home including the roof, windows, and floors.

In February, Tisdale announced via Instagram that she took the Kelly Wearstler Masterclass. The masterclass is a 17-part course that takes aspiring designers through the world of interior design while perfecting their style through patterns, light, materials, architecture, and furniture.
