Yesterday, Lupita Nyong’o and Selema Masekela, both esteemed individuals in their respective domains, made a joyous and unexpected public declaration of their affections, bringing an end to months of enigma that had surrounded their partnership. In remembrance of this momentous occasion, the couple initiated an additional collaborative endeavor, which resulted in the acquisition of an opulent property valued in the multicities of Los Angeles.
The remarkable Los Angeles estate, acquired for an astounding amount of almost $4 million, serves as evidence of Masekela and Nyong’o’s mutual admiration for natural environments and architectural magnificence. Situated in the alluring Topanga Canyon, an unincorporated region that spans from the picturesque San Fernando Valley to the breathtaking coastal enclave of Malibu, this meticulously crafted residence exudes modern sophistication and serves as a sanctuary.
The design of the dwelling, which features a seamless integration of steel, glass, and cement, not only embodies contemporary aesthetics but also showcases noteworthy attributes of self-sufficiency. The property is outfitted with advanced filtration systems, solar energy, backup systems, and cutting-edge home automation to demonstrate its dedication to eco-conscious living. Situated at the terminus of a serene one-way street, the residence is surrounded by more than two acres of verdant, wooded territory and is concealed behind an elegant steel-gated driveway.
Upon entering, patrons are immediately captivated by the mesmerizing interplay between natural light and breathtaking views, which are rendered possible by floor-to-ceiling glass walls that exhibit expansive panoramas of the canyon, rolling hillsides, and the ocean. The living room invites for both contemplation and relaxation, featuring a cozy fireplace and sliding glass doors that provide access to a spacious balcony. Not to be outdone, the dining area’s wet bar contributes to the ambiance of sophisticated entertainment.
The gourmet kitchen showcases culinary ingenuity through its sophisticated bamboo cabinetry, impeccable quartz countertops, and expansive eat-in island. It boasts premium appliances by Viking, Wolf, and Sub-Zero, which are certain to satisfy even the most discerning chefs and foodies.
On the uppermost level of this remarkable architectural creation is the master retreat, an oasis of peace and tranquility that showcases a spa-inspired bathroom—a lavish soaking tub and an opulent two-person jetted steam shower—in particular. A multipurpose media/family room on the lower level, featuring a private entrance, extends an invitation to intimate gatherings and entertaining activities. In close proximity to this area, an additional wet bar enhances the sense of convenience, whereas an ensuite bedroom, which is presently being utilized as an office, offers a secluded haven for either productivity or leisure.
Upon venturing outdoors, one is immediately enthralled by the immaculately manicured grounds that encircle the establishment. An inviting outdoor entertainment area awaits, featuring a calming fountain, cozy seating, a fully stocked kitchen with a commercial-grade grill, and a cozy fire pit. In addition, a two-car garage and sufficient parking for up to twenty vehicles provide guests and residents with both convenience and safety.
It goes without saying that Lupita Nyong’o has had a distinguished career, as her unforgettable performance in the critically acclaimed film “12 Years a Slave” in 2013 earned her the prestigious Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress. Subsequent to that, the actress, who is now 39 years old, has consistently wowed global audiences with her exceptional performances in critically acclaimed films including “Black Panther,” “Us,” and the “Star Wars” sequel trilogy. Nyong’o has demonstrated her aptitude for writing, apart from her acting prowess, by completing the New York Times bestselling children’s book “Sulwe,” which espouses the values of self-acceptance and diversity.
