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.

Amongst the plethora of famous faces hawking their goods at a mall near you are the following:

Ellen DeGeneres

Comedienne and dedicated house flipper, Ellen has furniture, rugs, tableware and more and will presumably use them to stage her homes. In a partnership with Thomasville, Loloi and Royal Doulton respectively, DeGeneres opts for sophisticated designs, which focus on earth tones and textures.

“I’ve loved home design for as long as I can remember,” the entertainer told Elle Decor. “I know what I like, so designing it made sense for me.”

Joanna Gaines

Okay, so this isn’t exactly a stretch. The photogenic half of Fixer Upper is bound to have her own line of home goods. These include wallpaper, paint and rugs available at Pier 1. In addition she has a huge destination retain store, Magnolia Market in Waco, Texas.

Tracee Ellis Ross

The Black-ish star has a clothing line available at JC Penny with a few home accessories thrown in — such as throw pillows, dessert dishes and high ball glasses.

Catherine Zeta Jones

Linking up with QVC, the Welsh actress has a line of bedding, bath towels, tables and rugs called Casa Zeta Jones.

Justin Timberlake

Singer, musician and actor, Timberlake curated home decor line with mydomaine.com editor-in-chief, Estee Stanley. “I like very clean, almost modern architecture, and the obstacle with something like that is making it extremely warm, because it doesn’t naturally lend itself to that,” Timberlake said in an interview with Stanley and Elle Decor.

Added Timberlake: “With everything we do together, we try to get the juxtaposition right. To make pieces and rooms that are multifaceted, that blend different genres of architecture and design.”

Mandy Moore

The actress has a collection of art prints monogrammed glasses, throw blankets and other decor items for Shutterfly.

Lenny Kravitiz

The bohemian rocker/actor has always been known for his ’70s-inspired music and fashion. His interior designs echo these tastes. Don’t think pure hippy style though, think upscale penthouses and Studio 54 glamour, too. In a collaboration with Crate and Barrell’s CB2, dubbed CB x Kravitz Design, the range includes tables, chairs, lamps, rugs, pillows and more. It’s inspired by the singer's many travels with prices that are anything but retro.

Kravitiz also has his own interior design firm, and has added his eclectic flair to many well-known hotels and condo complexes.

Reese Witherspoon

It seems Reese Witherspoon is everywhere these days, acting, heading up an Oprah style book club, producing movies and designing clothes. It’s the latter, which has also spawned her foray into home accessories that includes tableware, candles, blankets and more.

Brad Pitt

A long time lover of architecture, the actor formed the Make It Right organization to help rebuild New Orleans housing after Hurricane Katrina. Now he’s teamed up with furniture maker Pollaro to introduce a line, which includes seating, tables, a marble bathtub and a bed.

Eva Longoria

Tapping into the Latin market, JC Penny has a bedding and bath collection with the actress.

Drew Barrymore

You guessed it —  pillows, shower curtains and artwork are featured in her collection with Shutterfly.
