Nick and Vanessa Lachey Pay $8 Million to Buy Back an L.A. Home They Sold to Naomi Osaka
- Nick and Vanessa Lachey recently sold a Tarzana property to tennis star Naomi Osaka for $6.3 million, which she renovated and added a gym and recovery center to, before selling it to the Lacheys for just under $8 million.
After placing their modern farmhouse-style spread tucked away in a prime pocket of Encino up for sale recently, Nick and Vanessa Lachey apparently began feeling a little nostalgic for another Los Angeles property they owned and sold once before.
Back in late 2020, the married reality TV show hosts paid former NFL wide receiver Randall Cobb just over $5 million for his East Coast traditional-style residence in the San Fernando Valley community of Tarzana. They went on to flip it for a nice profit less than two years later in a $6.3 million off-market transaction. The buyer was tennis superstar Naomi Osaka, who subsequently renovated the pad and added a new structure containing a gym and a recovery center, as first reported by The Wall Street Journal .

Osaka first put the estate up for sale in June for $8.3 million, and the Lacheys paid a dash under $8 million, a discount off Osaka's asking price but about $3 million more than the couple paid for the very same property almost five years ago. Amy Snider of Compass represented Osaka in the deal, with the Lacheys repped by Mauricio Umansky and Craig Knizek of The Agency.

Set behind a double-gated driveway on a cul-de-sac parcel spanning over half an acre, the 2014-built dwelling is fronted by a four-car garage and additional parking for up to 20 vehicles. Inside, five bedrooms and nine baths are filtered across roughly 7,000 square feet of two-level living space boasting dark brown hardwood floors and walls of glass overlooking valley and mountain vistas.
Among the highlights is an eat-in kitchen outfitted with dual islands, top-notch stainless appliances, and an accompanying breakfast nook. A coffer-ceilinged family room has a fireplace, built-in bookshelves, and pocketing doors spilling out to a covered loggia, while a formal dining room is embellished with wainscoting and patterned wallpaper.

In addition to an upstairs primary suite flaunting a fireplace, a private balcony, two walk-in closets, and a luxe bath, other features include a media lounge and a wet bar-equipped game room. The amenities continue in the backyard, which hosts a pool and spa, a barbecue station, a fire pit, and a sunken sports court.
The Encino home that the co-hosts of Netflix's reality dating show Love Is Blind purchased just last year for $6.8 million is currently on the market for $7.5 million. Before that, they owned a Hawaii home near Oahu's Kahala Beach they picked up in 2022 for $8.8 million, soon after Vanessa was cast in the CBS show NCIS: Hawaiʻi in 2021. They sold that house last summer for nearly $9.5 million after the police procedural was canceled.
