The Lacheys' Tarzana Home: A $12M Story of Love, Loss, and a Second Chance

Lucía Torres · 2026-09-21

### A House That Never Left Their Minds When 4760 Amigo Avenue was built in 2016, Vanessa Lachey fell for it instantly. "I loved everything about that house from the second I saw it," she says. But timing wasn't on their side—they were deep into renovating another home in Encino. So they let it go, but the house stayed with them. A few years later, they heard an NFL player—whose kids went to school with theirs—was selling. This time, they jumped. They spent two years enjoying the five-bedroom, nine-bathroom estate and those sweeping San Fernando Valley views. ### When Life Throws a Curveball Then Vanessa landed a lead role in CBS's "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation" franchise, filming in Hawaii. The family sold Amigo Avenue off-market to tennis superstar Naomi Osaka. Fast-forward to 2025: Osaka decided to move and gave the Lacheys first dibs to buy back their old home. They didn't hesitate. Now, with new adventures pulling them east, the Amigo Avenue estate is back on the market, represented by Mauricio Umansky and Craig Knizek of The Agency. ### Inside the Gated Tarzana Estate Set behind gates on a flat 0.68-acre lot, the main residence spans 6,855 square feet. The front door opens to a direct sightline through to the living room, where the rolling hills are perfectly framed. The airy floor plan is made for both entertaining and everyday life. It includes: - A chef's kitchen with two islands and a breakfast nook - A bar with a dedicated wine cellar - A private movie theater - Five bedrooms and nine bathrooms Osaka added an 800-square-foot guest house and gym with a kitchenette and a spa-inspired recovery-suite bathroom. There's also a lighted, full-length basketball court. ### What Makes This Property Stand Out Umansky raves about the gym: "The gym is one of the best spaces I've ever seen in a private residence for working out. The size and volume to accommodate every piece of cutting-edge equipment is awesome." He also highlights the views. "The distant mountains are like a painting that serves as a beautiful backdrop. Every vantage point within the house, all day long. At night, the city lights come alive—it's spectacular." Knizek, who's sold the home twice before, points to the flat yard and lighted tennis court. "As L.A. encourages greater density, increased personal space is the hallmark of luxury," he says. "This home's huge flat yard is what families want. The lighted tennis court means you can play tennis, pickleball, or basketball all day and into the night. It's a tremendous space to host large-scale gatherings and entertain in style." ### More Than Just Amenities For the Lacheys, Amigo Avenue was never just about the features. "We loved living at Amigo. It provided so many great memories," Vanessa says. "We're happy and excited for the next family to carry on the tradition and continue to love it as much as we did."
