Hot Property: Kristen Stewart Buys House with View of Twilight

By Lauren Beale

(MCT)—Actress Kristen Stewart’s new home is not far from “Twilight” costar and on-again boyfriend Robert Pattinson’s place in Los Feliz.

Set in gated Laughlin Park, the 3,361-square-foot house Stewart bought for $2.195 million features a carved wood front door, an open floor plan, a veranda, a den, an office, two fireplaces, four bedrooms and 4½ bathrooms. The quarter-acre of tropically landscaped grounds includes a blue-tiled swimming pool with spa, a fire pit and terraced gardens. There are downtown L.A. and ocean views.

Described in the listing as contemporary, the house’s exposed beams, wood paneled walls and terra cotta floors give it a rustic ambiance. The property, on and off the market for several years, has been a rental.

Stewart, 22, has starred in the “Twilight Saga” series of films since the original “Twilight” vampire romance movie in 2008. Last year she starred in “Snow White and the Huntsman” and “The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn — Part 1.” “Part 2” is set for release this month, and a second “Snow White” has been announced.
