The Tarzana Estate Nick and Vanessa Lachey Just Can't Leave Behind

### A House That Kept Calling Them Back 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 at the time, she and Nick were deep into renovating another home in nearby Encino. So they let it go—though the house never really left their minds. A few years later, the stars aligned. A pro NFL player whose kids went to school with theirs was selling the Tarzana estate. The Lacheys jumped at the chance and moved in. They spent two years soaking up the five-bedroom, nine-bathroom home, its sun-drenched rooms, and those sweeping San Fernando Valley views. ### From the Lacheys to Naomi Osaka and Back Again Then life threw a curveball. Vanessa landed a lead role in CBS's "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation" franchise, which films in Hawaii. The family sold the estate off-market to tennis champion Naomi Osaka. Fast forward to 2025: Osaka decided to move and offered the Lacheys first dibs on buying back their old home. By then, the place had been upgraded with extra privacy features, a bright new 800-square-foot guest house, and a gym. The Lacheys said yes without hesitation. Now, new adventures are pulling Nick and Vanessa out of state again—this time to the East Coast. So the Amigo Avenue estate is hitting the market once more, represented by Mauricio Umansky and Craig Knizek of The Agency. ### Inside the Tarzana Estate Set behind gates on a flat 0.68-acre lot, the main house spans 6,855 square feet. The front door opens to a clear sightline straight through to the living room, where the rolling hills of the San Fernando Valley are perfectly framed. The layout is made for both big parties and everyday family life. It features: - A chef's kitchen with two islands and a breakfast nook - A bar with a dedicated wine cellar - A private movie theater - A lighted, full-length basketball court - An 800-square-foot guest house and gym with a kitchenette and spa-inspired recovery-suite bathroom Umansky calls the gym one of the best he's ever seen in a private home. "The size and volume to accommodate every piece of cutting-edge equipment is awesome," he says. He also raves about 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 has sold the residence twice before, points to the huge flat yard as a major draw. "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 and your family 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, though, the appeal of Amigo Avenue always went deeper than its 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."
