Lewis, who rose to fame with her 2006 X Factor win and mega-hit “Bleeding Love,” purchased the home in 2021 for $2.6 million. Originally built in the early 1950s, the Spanish-style residence is perched on nearly a third of an acre and boasts sweeping views across the San Fernando Valley.

A gated drive leads to the warm stucco façade and red-tiled roof. Inside, the nearly 2,300-square-foot home features three bedrooms, four bathrooms, and a sophisticated blend of old-world charm and modern elegance. Wide-plank French oak and stone floors stretch beneath exposed wood ceilings with skylights. Walls of glass frame the panoramic vistas, flooding the home with natural light.

The main living area is centered around a cozy fireplace and opens seamlessly onto an expansive outdoor lounge through steel-framed folding doors. In the kitchen, green cabinetry contrasts with marble countertops, a farmhouse sink, stainless steel appliances, and a stylish glass tile backsplash. The adjacent dining area invites indoor-outdoor entertaining with views of the lush landscaping.

The outdoor space is a true highlight. At the heart of the courtyard sits a sparkling saltwater pool with an inset spa, bordered by Saltillo tile patios, fruit trees, and drought-tolerant landscaping. An outdoor kitchen, fire pit, and multiple al fresco dining areas make this home a dream for entertainers.

The detached two-car garage, currently used as a recording studio, adds a creative touch to the property. With its flexible layout, it could also be converted into a gym or home office.

Before Leona Lewis purchased the home, it belonged to YouTube personality Shane Dawson, who sold it in 2019 for $2 million. Fashion executive Maria Tomei Borromeo then carried out a thoughtful renovation before passing it on to Lewis and her husband, Dennis Jauch.

A London native, Lewis has built an impressive career since her breakout, releasing four studio albums (Spirit, Echo, Glassheart, and I Am), starring in Walking on Sunshine, appearing as Grizabella in Broadway’s Cats, and joining the judging panel of Paramount+’s Queen of the Universe.
