Lupita Nyong’o and her Wealthy Partner: Inside their Exquisite Million-Dollar Mansion in Topanga
Lupita Nyong’o and Selema Masekela, both respected names in their fields, announced their love yesterday, ending months of mystery. The couple bought another multimillion-dollar mansion in Los Angeles to celebrate this happy occasion.
Nyong’o and Masekela’s love of architecture and nature is evident in their $4 million Los Angeles home. This custom-built house is a modern oasis in Topanga Canyon, an unincorporated area between Malibu and the San Fernando Valley.
The home’s steel, glass, and cement design is modern and self-sustaining. The eco-friendly home has solar electricity, backup systems, home automation, and modern filtration systems. The house sits on nearly two acres of wooded land at the end of a quiet one-way street behind a magnificent steel-gated driveway.
Floor-to-ceiling glass panels provide magnificent views of the ocean, rolling hillsides, and stunning canyon. With a fireplace and sliding glass doors to a large balcony, the living area invites rest and contemplation. The dining room, with its convenient wet bar, also provides elegant entertainment.
The gourmet kitchen, with bamboo cabinetry, quartz countertops, and a large eat-in island, showcases culinary skill. Its Viking, Wolf, and Sub-Zero appliances will impress even the pickiest chefs.
A serene master retreat with a spa-inspired bath, soaking tub, and two-person jetted steam shower located on the upper floor of this architectural marvel. A downstairs media/family room with a private door is perfect for entertaining. Another wet bar and an ensuite bedroom, presently used as an office, are nearby.
Outside, the property’s finely maintained gardens mesmerize. A relaxing fountain, a fire pit, a fully equipped kitchen, and a commercial-grade BBQ await in the outside entertainment area. Residents and guests are also protected by a two-car garage and 20 parking spaces.
Lupita Nyong’o won the 2013 Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her outstanding performance in “12 Years a Slave.” Since then, the 39-year-old actress has wowed audiences in blockbusters including “Us,” “Black Panther,” and the “Star Wars” sequel trilogy. Nyong’o wrote the New York Times best-selling children’s book “Sulwe,” which promotes diversity and self-acceptance.
