American actress, singer, and model Zoë Kravitz, daughter of actor-musician Lenny Kravitz and actress Lisa Bonet, has been busy with the upcoming release of “The Batman” and directing her debut film, “Pussy Island” with rumored beau Channing Tatum. Recently, the 32-year-old star has also made strides in the real state industry with the purchase of a Westchester getaway. The Los Angeles native is based primarily out of Brooklyn with her $3.2 million Williamsburg apartment in a converted warehouse purchased in 2015. Now, the actress has acquired a newfound residence two hours from her Brooklyn Loft. Kravitz quietly purchased a charming retreat in the Pound Ridge enclave of New York’s Westchester County for $1.45 million. The property had previously been owned by actress Maggie Q who purchased the residence for $1,230,850.

Built in the 1800s, Kravitz’s newfound getaway was formerly a cider mill, known as Aaron Wood’s Mill. Spanning 2,592 square feet, the rustic structure has been converted into a two bedroom and three bath residence. With a stone pathway leading to the front door, the home opens to a soaring great room with a stone fireplace, dark wood flooring, and plentiful windows offering picturesque views of the natural landscape. The humble abode encapsulates a barn inspired aesthetic with richly aged barn wood, hand-hewn beams and columns, wide-plank floors, and a vaulted ceiling. The interior highlights a complementary modern kitchen equipped with stainless steel appliances, marble countertops, a long center island, and bar seating. In the adjacent space, the home leads into an open dining area and living room with a cozy fireplace.

Upstairs, the loft-like master bedroom nearly spans the entire floor. The sizable suite presents a fireplace, separate living area, dressing room, and tiled bathroom with a copper freestanding soaking tub. Additionally, the residence showcases an al fresco nook with a picnic table-style dining space and a mezzanine overlooking the primary living area. Stepping outside, the exterior offers woodsy grounds spanning over two acres of scenic land. The expansive landscape features a waterfall, a wrought-iron bridge over a small stream, tall trees for peak privacy, lounging and seating spaces, and lush greenery.

In 2001, the original owners of the Phoenix home built and completed construction before Keys and Beatz purchased the property in 2008. The home was always intended to serve as a holiday residence for Keys, Beatz, and their family. In 2016, however, the celebrity couple prepared to bid farewell to their former vacation home listing it on the market for $3.85 million. The presumed reason as to why the musical duo listed their holiday home is due to their claim that it did not get enough usage. In the years following, the property was listed on and off the market ultimately failing to secure a deal. It was most recently relisted in March for just under $3.4 million. The home was finally sold this week at $3.1 million, slightly under the listing price. Reportedly, the buyer was a local resident of the Phoenix area and was drawn to the picturesque views the home had to offer.

Alicia Key’s former Dreamland spans 7,050 square feet and includes four bedrooms and 5.5 bathrooms. As the property is situated on an elevated plane, the house does not align with the typical desert architecture but instead is a multistory structure with character and picturesque views of the Camelback Mountains, Arizona canyons, and cityscape. Stepping into the home, the open floor plan presents a great room, living area, and formal dining room with 20-foot ceiling. The spacious chef’s kitchen is equipped with a breakfast nook, high-end appliances, and spectacular views of the outdoors. Stepping outside, the exterior space offers a large deck with a wraparound two-level patio, infinity pool, and spa hanging over the hillside. Upstairs, the main suite features a custom-made circular bed, grand piano, and large windows. The holiday home was initially designed with the purpose of entertainment in mind. The expansive space offers a theater, game room, wet bar, exercise room, 800 bottle wine cellar, and six-car garage.
